TRon Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 He reminds me of Rob Earnshaw, what with them both being black. This made me Google Earnshaw and you forget how incredibly ugly he was when he first came on the scene. Did he grow into his looks once he'd settled in then?

Guest firetotheworks Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 If there was a white person comparison to be made I'd compare him with Alan Barnes - ability and mentality-wise. Diame has 1 assist this season. Alan Barnes would have taken a shot, missed, and still celebrated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymag Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I've no doubt, he will come good for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 He's nowt like Sissoko. Who to his credit is always involved in the game. But big, black and African I guess. Always grounds for a comparison. Whey, you'd expect the 2 to go hand in hand, like. 5 million white South Africans say hello Over a million Indian Africans have resided in Africa for centuries as well Not to mention the Arab tinged northern states. Sho'time has had a sho'cker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Whatever you think about his similarities to Sissoko, the fact is he was brought in to replace the man. I know Sissoko was still here when we purchased Diame, but it was clear Sissoko would go and Diame was seen as the replacement. Therefore you have to compare the two and to be frank from what I've seen of Diame, he's not fit to tie Sissoko's laces or Gini's for that matter. It's leaving a hole in our team right now, the simple solution is to go with two up top. Did Sissoko play behind the striker for Rafa? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Nowt sensational but worthy of a shout-out for the level of improvement in the second half. Lots of clever touches and brought the ball forward well. Much more like it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 His positioning is actually pretty good just hasn't had the rub of the green taking his chances. Another day and his shot today flies home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I can see why Rafa likes him, he tries to open up defences, either with a bit of skill or an incisive pass. It doesn't always come off, but those moments are the ones which can win matches. Looks like he'll score a few as well, probably should have had two or three already this season.

Yorkie Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 He's been really poor by all accounts prior to today, and didn't have a good first half, but his track record suggests he can definitely play. That ball through for Atsu early in the second half clearly geed him up a bit; reminded him that he can actually do stuff. Not gonna write him off yet, will probably turn out to be pretty useful in the long run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest palnese Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 He's going to be ace when it finally clicks for him. Think he's been fairly unlucky so far. Can see why people would want him out of the team,but I'm confident he'll turn his form around. Would ideally like to see him in a deeper role. Don't think #10 is his best position.

Jayson Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 He was better second half, you can tell they'd had a team talk telling them to up it. Still feel he can offer more, a few balls he gave up on when they were nearby him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a match where he missed a couple of easy sitters and another where he lost the ball a few times, but overall he's obviously a very useful player and I think we've already seen that in a Newcastle shirt.

ExiledGeordie Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Struggling as of recent particularly in that role behind the striker but he'll come good eventually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only going off what I saw from the Villa game, people's comments in the Norwich game and today's first half. I saw him at Brighton and thought he looked a cut above, and he was very useful this afternoon today. Mixed start, I suppose. Still think we'll see more good/average from him than bad over the course of the season. He could do with getting off the mark; was unlucky with that chance this afternoon cos he found himself in a good position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
