Diame was incredible from pretty much West Ham away in December onwards that season, he was quite rightly picked ahead of Merino. Amazing as well considering how shit he'd been up to that game, I remember Everton at home when we lost and he played as a number 10 he was absolutely stinking.
Looks a little short of being a proper quality player. Feel he is playing at 100% to get these performances and I'm not sure he can improve.
My view is that he looks pretty decent in this absolutely chod team, so in a half-decent PL side I think he'd do well with better players around him.
He's a great option to have like. Not who you'd want starting 30+ games but I reckon if he plays about 10-15 matches worth of pitch time a season he'll nab you 5 or 6 goals.
I know, I know, Bruce will not be doing anything to improve this lad. But he looks shit the error for the goal today was incredibly ponderous, naive defending and I'm not sure how much I can pin that on Steve Stuffing Baalls.
Longstaff single
Sawyers and Longstaff double
