Altamullan Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 The only really disappointing results/performances, in the last ten games, were Brighton at home and away to Chelsea in the FA Cup. Diame didn’t start either game. He’s really making a difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YNGLEGIONNAIRE Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 It's ironical that we're in this precarious position yet we have two guys in Lacelles and Diame who , on recent performances , can each be credited with having a galvanising effect on the team . Colossus would not be a misplaced adjective for either of them on current form . Long may it continue . And if Shelvey can maintain the level of commitment and performance that he displayed yesterday we will be fine . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Most improved player of all time. Confidence has a lot to do with it, even when he was struggling you could see him trying stuff which made you think there was something there. Players like that need the fans on their side, Rafa's support probably made a huge difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Been much better ever since Lascelles slapped him around a bit. Great captaining. But seriously, Diame's always shown he has more ability than a Hayden for example but also more likely to do silly things and didn't seem capable of performing for 90 minutes. He's sorted it out.

thenige Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Absolutely stunned at how he's been recently. Actually using his strength and winning more than his fair share of 50/50s. Still can't pass a ball, but that's what Shelvey's for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 After Shelvey he's about as effective a passer as Merino and certainly better than Hayden. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 After Shelvey he's about as effective a passer as Merino and certainly better than Hayden. Agree. He misplaces some passes, but that's because he's usually quite ambitious with them, quite often forward into gaps rather than sideways or backwards.

xLiaaamx Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Shelvey's our best midfielder because of his passing, and Diame's the best at everything else. Our best pair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Some turnaround, he’s become our midfield enforcer and where as his legs looked gone, he’s all over the place now. A cult hero? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Superb once again today after a couple of lesser performances at Bournemouth and Liverpool. Love his energy and aggression. Takes the ball off blokes as if it's nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Very good again today; I’d have had him put down just months ago. He made so many blocks and interceptions and yet still managed to look he wasn’t trying at times with the way he runs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Glad to see his turn around tbh, the fact that he's kept Merino out of the team is very promising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Can't underestimate how much our recent solidity is down to his dropping back into the midfield 2. Been superb since he went there makes you wonder why he hadn't been tried there for real earlier after looking Ok there on a couple of occasions last season.

madras Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 His form right now literally makes no sense and I love it. It does kind of make sense like....played in that position last season once or twice and was good there. Think I may have said once or twice that he should play there vin the league last season. Not going to try and brag cos I'm bloody sure I never said to play him there this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 His form right now literally makes no sense and I love it. His form's because he's a good player. I understand the stick he got, but he was never as bad as made out. I never thought he'd get this good mind, he's been our best player from January onwards.
