The Fun Factory Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Him and Diaby have seem to become the whipping boys for some reason. He hasn't done as well as I hoped but hasn't been that bad, as a stop gap loan signing. A lot left in the season, he could play a big role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) I think we'd actually do well to play him on the left for a few matches. While he hasn't impressed, we wouldn't have to change the system too much just to go out of the way to exclude him. But maybe he's a poor trainer or something else that Unai doesn't like. Our record isn't all too terrible when he started a lot of matches in the first half of the season. Edited March 13 by DJBOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diaby's had a downturn in form and Zaniolo hasn't pulled up any trees since he arrived. I think people were expecting more from them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it is, because most often they are subject to abuse and have been made scapegoats for loses, even though they have been playing for less than 10 minutes in the games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) Not sure why Diaby and Zaniolo get grouped together, Diaby has been brilliant for us at times, people were purring that he was well worth the money and surely worth more, he has four goals and seven assists, six goals in all competitions, so that's already a great contribution, with more probably to come, and of course he will refind his form. For Zaniolo it's different Edited March 13 by useless 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 The whipping boys are always the players not contributing to the team. Weird innit. He was a necessary punt given the circumstances but he's been unequivocally shit. Almost Tonev levels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Zaniolo it's different Personally I would not call it a great return tbh with you. But like you I believe he will recapture his form. I also believe Zaniolo will, but possibly not with us sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Diaby has Seventeen assists and four goals in twenty-eight league appearances, which is pretty good going, he's on course for double figures in assists, and chances are he will score more too. Those stats are more impressive because in terms of minutes on the pitch in the league he's only played about seventeen games worth of football Hopefully Zaniolo can have some good moments between now and the end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sheff utd equaliser aside, i'm struggling to think of any positive impact he's had this season. He's been a really poor signing. *Zaniolo Edited March 13 by GingerCollins29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 The problem with Zaniolo through no fault of his own was that a lot of fans got into the head that he was the second coming of Totti and people were just expecting him to explode when he got a goal I warned people at the time he is a completely different player and not near that level and got talked down for being negative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
