DJBOB Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Give the man space to run and he’s electric. By far our best player tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Goal and assist but for the positions he gets in his vision and passing isn't really that great. Would prefer him being more in the role Bailey's had this season of cutting in from out wide and getting shots away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Consistency, an we got a real player here. Just not seen it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Everything was more aggressive and positive about him after the goal. Even his celebration. I really hope he can channel that kind of energy more consistently throughout games and seasons. A passive Diaby defeats the whole purpose of signing Diaby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dog Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 He was shite, where is all this praise coming from? I've never seen a player bottle so many 50/50s, make so many poor decisions. The fact that Rogers looks the better player says everything for me. Expect a lot better from him in these kind of games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dog Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 And also, what the **** was he playing at before Dougies pen? Why get involved with that shit at that stage in this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is frustrating but that's because more than anyone in decade maybe time and time again he gets into so many dangerous positions every game. Yeah he fluffs them but he's there, he always gets there and he's always a threat and contributing to goals. Maybe we should just have someone who hides after missing one. Shite???

NorthEastVillan Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 One of the few positives from last night was the link-up play between Diaby and Bailey. Obviously played together a fair bit at Leverkusen, but they once again looked very good in an attacking sense. Think there's a great partnership there.

I was thinking of how to word this but this is spot on for me. In certain moments he has quality in others he’s not. I’m not expecting him to be Hazard. But the pass he made to Watkins for the goal he was in a similar position in the first but it was the wrong decision to make the pass as he was too wide and Ollie too far to travel but he did it anyway. I suppose all I want is consistency but is he or are we at a level to expect a player to be able to do that all game. I don’t want to sound like I’m slating him he made a big impact on the score just not necessarily on the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I thought he was too far off the midfield in the first half playing in the 10 role, but saying that he changed the direction of the game and his goal was superb. I do think with him, Bailey and Rodgers in the same side we are far too lightweight and open in midfield which imo is causing us problems and did last night. It's not on Diaby though.

UpTheVilla26 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Useless. What does he do? He can't beat a player, he can't control a ball, he does nothing. I'd swap him for that Adingra in a heartbeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 If we got what we paid for him at the end of the season I’d take it, he’s been awful for months 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 TBF I just think having both him and Bailey on at the same time without a 3 man central midfield isn't the wisest thing to do. Both are far too lightweight out of possession, which is to be expected, but at the detriment of the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The_Steve Posted May 6 Popular Post Share Posted May 6 It's tough coming into a new league and often playing out of position (he's mostly played as a CF or number 10, not his usual winger position). However, he's still got more goal contributions in the league than Brennan Johnson, James Maddison and Harvey Barnes. He's made an equal number of assists as Johnson and Maddison despite his position change. People writing him off completely need to look at the wider picture. Imagine how good he can be next season. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
