Brahim Diaz - 2017/18 Performances

[ali benarbia's studs]

I havent seen enough of this kid but he looks special. wish him well, hope he gets a few looks like Foden/Zinchenko by the seasons end. If they can contribute something it would be fantastic.

Diaz though, when watching him three words crossed my mind....


Knife / Warm / Butter.

 

[Tevez City]

Hopefully he will start the next two games.

 

[City_Sean]

Hopefully he will start the next two games.

There's no chance that he'll start v Bristol IMO. Much more likely that he'll start v Burnley.

My guess would be the other way round. Pep treated the FA Cup fairly seriously last year while the League Cup has always been for the reserves. I know it's the Semis but we have bigger games coming up after that and it's Bristol and also it's a two legged tie, plenty of room to make it to the final.

Yeah I agree with you there, plus in any 2 legged tie you've got more room to gamble. If he rotates a bit next week and we lose/draw, he can always start the big guns in the reverse fixture.

Bristol City weren't that great against United, they were decent but a lot of it was United being so bad and sitting off so much they plaed Bristol City into the game, and then the crowd got up and United panicked.

If we play at half our normal pace, keep the ball as we always do, take the sting out of the game then they should fall reasonably easily, with or without 2 or 3 players rested.

It's actually an Argentine word, but I don't think anyone had heard of it before FM.

It's something to do with chocolate, isn't it? I'm sure I've heard it on Bakeoff.

That’s a sort of melted chocolate, ganache.

 

[Charlie Chuck]

I'd start Diaz v Burnley. If he plays well, also start v Bristol. As long as we have a good balance of regular first teamers in these games, we should be able to progress. Players like Diaz Foden Adarabioyo and Nmecha all need the big stage to see if they can step up to become regulars. Not easy nowadays, harder than ever in fact, but if we don't play them, we'll never know.

Exactly. So presumably in football terms it means someone who is as good as melted chocolate.

 

[penalty spot]

Thought he was really direct in the 5 minutes he played today, would like to see him getting a little more time on the pitch when possible.
