The Moussa Diaby Thread

Six goals and seven assists to be exact, a very important contribution

He was the one who tore Brighton apart when we beat them 6-1. They couldn't deal with him at all. It basically ended their season. Dunno what happened to him after that.

Overall not poor but not setting the world alight. At 50 odd million though you expect more. Roger’s has come in for a fraction and contributed well recently, although he’s a local lad that probably doesn’t need some settling in time

If his name was Richarlison , he'd be getting pelters. He's not been good since before Xmas.

It's a lack of confidence, lack of understanding of his role or something similar. He's obviously got the quality and will come good, but we may need to tweak his role, get him wider or whatever Unai thinks will get the best out of him.

We are stuck in this formation for this season, but with the summer recruitment we may see a different Aston Villa next season. Unai has more than one string to his bow.

Richarlison scored one goal and assisted three last season though, Diaby's output is more than three times that in first season in English football.

Diaby is quality and has had an ok first season - no doubt the premier league is a big change to Germany. Pre season and him staying healthy for the first months of next season is vital for him I feel. Been a great addition to the squad although a tad expensive.

Yes, he has. He has popped up with important goals and assists too.

Beginning of the season we thought we had a worldie, he was on fire. He's just kind of fizzled out though and doesn't look the dangerous player he was. He'll settle, he'll come good I have no doubt, but his contributions, however important haven't masked his own disappointment/frustration nor the overall impression that he hasn't quite lived up to our extraordinary expectations after the first 10 games.

This season just needs to be over for him (no footballing gods do not injure him) and he needs a full pre-season to up his confidence and for Unai to figure out how best to move forward. This summer will see the next iteration of this team, likely one that doesn't leak goals but still manages to keep the scoring frequency high.

For me the focus of the summer will be on defensive recruits.
