Best CM. Was a fantastic player and would be plying his trade for a top, top club if playing now.

 

*Edit* - Rob Lee, not Diame. Diame is fucking wank.

Thanks for clearing that up :thup:

P.S. Rafa, please see above: Shinner has true insights into those ticcy-tacky-tactic-things AND he can clearly spot a good midfielder from a less good one. Worth listening to me thinks...

 

I don't think Rafa is in need of anyone's advice about what a good midfield player looks like, he just needs to be given the money and support to go out and buy one.

Must be painful for him.  Didn't he have Gerrard and Alonso as his CM pairing at one stage?  Having to deal with shite like Diame now must be killing him.

A lot of it is due to the fact that we often don't have a lot of possession which means our midfielders don't make that many passes in general. And we are also pretty direct, not much in the way of build-up.

 

A lot of our attacks are get the ball to Shelvey, he'll ping it behind the defence and hopefully create a goalscoring opportunity.

We desperately need an upgrade in CM this January

 

add it to the fucking list :lol:

 

EDIT: in fact it's funny going through the threads of various and the common theme of them all is that our "best" players need a break but there's either literally no competition in some spots or in others rafa simply doesn't trust the ones he has

 

2nd half of the season is going to be very interesting this time if we don't get 3-4 new players

His current deal will expire at the end of the season but the conditions of the contract he signed in 2016 mean his future is in his own hands.

 

It's in the manager's hand whether he reaches the necessary number of appearances for a contract extension, Lee.

This club will never move on if we continue to keep players like this honestly I give up - roll on the people saying we need players for a squad doesn't matter how shit they are but you still need players.

This is what is making you lose hope?

 

I’ve been lost hope but regardless.

 

Diame is our first choice CM. Getting a new contract is ok. We need to shift Hayden and get someone in to make Diame the back up.

 

Need to shift both though as both are not good enough even as squad players imho

He's indispensable to us at present. As good as Ki & Shelvey are, Diame is our first choice centre midfielder and probably one of the first names on the team sheet every week. I'm sure in our imaginations we would all like to ideally see Ki & Shelvey together, but imo it's one or the other, paired with Diame. Critical player.

That does not surprise me one bit. Coming away from the game last night I said to my mate I would arguably have given him MotM as I thought the amount of times he broke up play by getting a foot in was phenomenal.
