Hopefully Unai has ditched him as a support striker for good as it just restricts him and Bailey having to stay central constantly. SJM suspension at least gives us option now to see what 4-3-3 looks like against West Ham and Wolves so two decent games to see if it's worth keeping for the full run in.

newhamvilla Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I really like the look of him and Bailey playing together. Gives teams a lot to think about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete101 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 We get him playing like this on a regular basis, our front 3 is as dangerous as the Liverpool front 3 that won the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Dog Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 DIIII-AAAAAAA-BEEEEEEEEEEE MOOOOOOOUSSA! Thought he did well tonight, some lovely touches, and nice a finish too. Kick on brother, if Bailey, Watkins and Diaby are all firing then every defender in the Premier League will be shitting themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pongo Waring Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Thought he was very good tonight! So lively. Caused Ajax chaos. Just needs to improve his end product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) He needs to do that in the Premier League consistently, only then can we say he was worth the money. One swallow and all that. If Bailey can produce the goods on a regular occurrence, then so should Diaby be able too. Let's hope tonight's goal provides the self - belief he has so clearly been short of.

DJBOB Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 First chance was emblematic of his troubles this year. In the right position, beat the keeper to the ball and then just didn’t know what to do with it. But played 3 different positions in game (support striker, RM, and LM) and just looks so comfortable out wide. Hoping he can kick on from here. If he can win us 3-4 matches in the stretch run, value returned for year one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Can sense fans getting on his back a bit at time similar to how they did to Bailey. Not really going to help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think he’ll go with a Tim or Teilemans next to Luiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 That link up with Bailey in the first minute or so was definitely like the old Diaby. The pair of them shredded the arse out of Ajax with that move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans dropped in next to McGinn and Tim to form a 3 with Bailey and Diaby out wide. It was only for a few minutes but pretty interesting. They still nominally played a 442 out of possession but the shape was definitely unique. Don’t think Duran, Bailey and Diaby have been on the pitch together except Palace at home? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 It was really good to see Bailey and Diaby both on the pitch and both playing well. They've kinda got in each other's way a little at times before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 If Diaby shows his early season form now to the end of the season, it will help massively with getting 4/5th. Diaby and Bailey running riot down the right and Watkins through the middle, not many teams will want to be facing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthEastVillan Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Thought his passing was also much improved last night. Either on the right or left, he threaded a few through to McGinn and Moreno that were inch perfect. Needs a bit of work on his positioning though. He tends to follow the ball after he's passed it and ends up far too close to other players. Just "give and go" training needed. Very positive though. Hopefully whatever confidence issues he has will be helped with that display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMcKenna Posted March 15 VT Supporter Share Posted March 15 Great to see Moussa score! Hopefully, his confidence will now improve. With all our injury problems etc we desperately need our record signing to find some form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
