We have to get them both firing at some point. I'm inclined to agree. Because if its one or the other then it's Bailey by some distance obviously. I don't think our record signing should be making 15 minute cameos and I don't think he will accept that long term either. We need to find a way to play them both or sell Diaby. It goes without saying that this is completely dependent on Diaby getting back to his best form. Edited March 2 by R.Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone, including Digne, ran to him as if he was the one who scored the goal. Was a nice touch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one thing, he's always looked genuinely chuffed when a team mate scores. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 We need him to hit form again. World class on his day. Do worry about his physicality tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Would like to see more of him, he is clearly a very dangerous attacking threat and was one of our best players early in the season. Hopefully these good performances off the bench are earning him a chance to show what he can do in a key game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 4 hours ago, DJBOB said: Not his first crucial cross too. Served up the beauty to save a point at Bournemouth away. Destined to be moved out wide but now at a log jam with Bailey. It's clear after months that he isn't some sort of Greizmann type number 10 playmaker in the making. He's a wide forward so it would be good to have him and Bailey either side of Ollie but UE doesn't really want to play that way unless it's a plan B chasing the game situation as we'd then cede a bit more control centrally. At least it's something to look at more next season I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 One of the finest assists of the season and it's rescued us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Playing right wing rather than second striker tonight. Lets see if he can get in behind Sosa with more space to run into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan_of_oz Posted March 7 VT Supporter Share Posted March 7 Its going to be an interesting watch what happens with him the rest of the season, If this poor form continues does anyone think we might sell him to aid our FFP issues.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 It would make more sense if he just started rubbish, with slight bursts of ability to then end up in the form he's in now. The bizarre thing to me is he started so well but has completely fell off. I do expect he'll come good again next season but wow he's not good at this moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) I sometimes wonder if Emery's multiple meetings and instructions play on the minds of players too much, especially when they're a bit out of form and trying to get it back. Takes up too much cognitive load. Feels like this could be the case with Diaby. Edited March 7 by May-Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthEastVillan Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I'm close to just writing Diaby off for this season in the hope that he comes good next year. I always expect the player we saw earlier on but constantly disappointed week after week. If its a confidence issue then its a very big one.

A divorce or homesickness or a family bereavement or something. He looks like a defeated man, which is such a shame because he's a bloody good player.

Body language legit reminds me of Junior in Cool Runnings before he finds his confidence. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
