I mean, Diaby...FFS.

I said the other day I'd had enough of him. He promptly scored and got an assist.

So I'm back to having had enough of him.
Those were the only two things he did good,  was still shit

They don't look all that clever on crosses and their keeper seems a tad flappy.

I'd stick Duran on and sling some crosses in.

I'm mostly OK with him.

But if there was any chance to get close to our money back and get Eze in or similar we'd be mad not to do it.

3-0 down, and we've managed the grand sum of 2 shots on target, and one of those was practically on the stroke of half time.

Yet they still make a flukey save.
Down the other end and that flies into the top corner

Hopefully the kit man's had chance for a good rummage around and found Diaby's boots so's he doesn't have to wear his fucking clown shoes for the second half.

Not been terrible, but we are playing with 10 again.

What does Diaby offer?

Wow, talk about playing into their hands. Produced pretty much zero quality and gifted them a goal. We’re never scoring here.

Cash is killing us on the right. Either put him at right back or take him off. Put Duran on, it’s worth a shot.

We have looked utterly devoid of ideas in the last two games..

Totally agree with Duran being thrown on

Doesn't matter we are as good as out

Not played badly up until their box when the final ball/shot has been Sunday league level. Poor goal for us to concede which took any possible nerves out of Olympiakos.

If we don't get at least 1 in the first 10 minutes of the second half I'd be taking Watkins, McGinn, Bailey, Diaby and Luiz off for a rest

we've played worse and won.

still a bit meh.

We probably took shots in those games.

For a team chasing 3 goals it seems like we are playing to defend a lead. No urgency to score, put pressure on their back four.

For me its been shit. Slow and unispiring

Diaby has been fucking awful. I said do your talking on the pitch and he has done the opposite of that
