JPJCB Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Should be very grateful to Duran that he converted that shocker of a pass. That was very close to being yet another “Diaby wastes a good opportunity” moment 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VillaAlex Posted May 13 Popular Post Share Posted May 13 Worked his arse off. Things didn't work out for most of game but any player who keeps trying keeps working deserves respect and time to turn it around. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the assist he just fired straight at Duran when it was a relatively straightforward pass through. Diaby is just one of those who plays the game at 100mph. I thought that when he was through and need the thought of intelligence to slow up and wait for Ollie to get into the box and instead he just shoots wildly into the side netting. Needs more work on the training ground over the summer to compose himself in these situations as his runs are excellent. He's pretty much our Nunez. It was a shocking pass lol, but actually worked out perfectly as it meant it had enough pace to loop past the keeper. I thought overall he made good runs and got the ball in that inside position and got the liverpool midfield and defence turned really well. As you say, final ball missing too often, but can be worked on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just missed a decent chance on his weaker foot... It's more than one chance. He's made the wrong decision a lot tonight. But having got into those positions, it's just a case of him having a bit of confidence instilled in him by Emery so that he doesn't rush, and trusts himself to make the right call. A mixed game for sure. Great build up, great runs, poor final action. Its close to clicking. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Worked very hard tonight, just not producing the end product. 2 big chances, they fall to Bailey, at least one is a goal. Just hoping a Pre-Season can get some confidence into him. I want to see more of that, when he gets the ball and drives forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted May 13 VT Supporter Share Posted May 13 i really like the guy. the sublime to the ridiculous so often but what can i say i see something in him and hate the stick he gets (even when his performances probably justify it) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 44 minutes ago, Tom13 said: Abysmal. Trying flicks and losing the ball when he's already playing badly. Get hold of the thing and have some confidence, do things with purpose instead of just hit and hope! Truly awful showing. Yeah the needless flicks were frustrating.

The_Steve Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 His runs and tracking back were helpful tonight. Shame about the finishing. Still lots to be encouraged by. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) Just watching the highlights. He did extremely well for the equaliser. The mishit shit pass is probably why the deflection of Duran was so effective as well Edited May 13 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 He'll get there. You can see the physicality of the league has been tough for him to adapt to, yet hes got something like 14 g/a to his name, shows some real moments of quality and overall just seems like a good egg. Don't see how you can witness the turnaround in the likes of Bailey and then readily write off this guy in his first season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop being shit, people will stop saying you've played shit. So 6 goals and 8 assists is absolutely shit ? OK - Yes his confidence dropped off and yes he can improve but he gets unfairly criticised when others are Teflon.

villa4europe Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 The assist to Duran was a pass to Ollie surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJay Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Great run for the equaliser and overall he was very involved, not everything came off for him, but he's had a decent first season and played a positive part in our best season in years. Let's put it this way he's lightyears ahead of Bailey's first 2 seasons here and look how fantastic Leon has been this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, so we can’t criticise players because one of our players came good? Diaby deserves the criticism for being mostly rubbish all season. Tonight he was pretty poor but I will say he never gave us. Deserves credit for that. Edited May 13 by Delphinho123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, missed a couple of chances - but from really dangerous runs in behind. Fantastic turn and drive from midfield to set up Duran’s second. A great drive indeed, and then an abysmal pass. Very lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
