Can you imagine Duran scoring a 5 minute hat trick in the last home game of the season against Liverpool. A game we need to win to reach the CL? Pandemonium. One for the ages.

No problem with him taking the shot...but you have to score if there's someone in this good a position next to you. Watkins has done similar multiple times the last month and it's been very annoying.

Popular Post Cizzler Posted May 14 Popular Post Share Posted May 14 He put his foot through it, it was just a great save from Allison. His miss in the first half was a worse effort, in my opinion. I really don't think the square to Duran is on, there's a much higher scoring % from doing what he did. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_82 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 10 goals, 9 assists - Better stats than a certain 100m player that was adored If he was just a little calmer in that final moment he could easily make that 15/15 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was right to take on the shot. But his back heel nonsense in the first half wasn’t on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Can't blame him for shooting. It was a good shot and great save. I firmly believe this lad will be a superstar for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it looks easy when just taking a simple screenshot, but getting the weight of that pass correct and having to play it slightly behind yourself when running full pelt and having a defender bearing down on you is much harder than having a decent shot. I’m not saying it’s impossible; but the overwhelming majority of players are shooting in that scenario because a) potential glory but also b) it’s just the easier option. On Diaby overall, you can tell there’s a bit of confidence or something missing but he’s not doing the “Bailey thing” of going down injured and making a struggle out of his form. He’s really trying to play through it and, ultimately, his contribution has led to us gaining a very big and, at the time, pretty unlikely point. He’s had a good first season and gut feeling is that he’ll kick on next time round. Worth remembering he’s “only” 24 as well. Plenty to come from Moussa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 He absolutely intended the pass to Jhon. He’s watching Moussa’s run and called for the ball and watching it still. I don’t think he’s expecting the shot, but the pass is meant for Duran. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zak Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Considering he is getting criticized for his back heals and other extravagant touches. He could just as easy have tried to square it and it didn't go right and everyone would be in uproar in why he didn't shoot. Things havnt been going right for him in the final moments which can happen, due to lack of confidence. So he shouldn't be trying to do a thing too smart. However all his play before final moments, is still excellent. His movement gets him into these great circumstances. his tracking back has saved us alot. He's already a good player for us, just needs to sort his head, which I fully expect to happen over the summer. If he was as clinical as his time at Dortmund, he would have have 2 or 3 goals yesterday It'll come 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 What a game for Diaby; frustrating game in many ways too... Thing is he's always a threat, right? He's getting into dangerous positions due to his pace, having shots, getting assists and generally making things happen. Next season he will improve again under Emery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted May 14 VT Supporter Share Posted May 14 Strange player tbh, can't decide if he's gonna be good enough but one things for sure, he doesn't hide when things aren't going well, he fights , he shows for the ball. He's like a fly, floating all over the place, getting knocked off the ball, winning tackles, losing possession, breaking free, chaotic tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Decision making and confidence, it'll come. He's in the right positions a lot of the time and even when he's frustrating he's still a player you sit up for when he's got the ball. Bailey looked like a lost cause, Diaby doesn't. No reason he can't come through it too in his second season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
