"Mo Diame can be an “important player” for Newcastle United because he is “not scared” to dribble his way out of trouble and drive his team forward, believes Rafa Benitez. He has to improve physically and then he will be an important player for us because he is not scared to keep the ball and try to dribble with it,” Benitez said of Diame.

He needs to be a little bit fitter and then hopefully he can be another player with quality who can make the difference in some matches.”

 

Just like Fallback :lol:

Comparing him to Sissoko after a few games is fairly ill-advised. He looks a good signing, can't we judge him on his own merits?

 

Black players must be compared against other black players.

He's a powerful runner so that's where the comparisons with Sissoko come from. He was excellent today, held the ball up, played it to feet, constantly offered for it, physical, running with the ball. Best individual performance from any of our players this season mebs?

He's got much nicer technique on the ball, IMO. Seems to have much control in tight spots. Not as explosive an athlete but I don't think we quite need that so much. Reckon he's got more of an eye for a pass too.

 

Yep, example being when he pulled it back for Ritchie first half. Sissoko would have blazed it across the box blindly.
