Brahim Diaz - 2017/18 Performances

[Manchester_lalala]

Would like to see an attack against West Brom of Sane - Jesus - Diaz

It would be criminal not giving him game time in the league cup. Sancho has lead the way by leaving to try push on his career, more will follow if we don't start giving our most talented lads a chance in the cup games. I don't give a toss about the league cup, I'd get more satisfaction watching a few lads getting valuable game time.

Good post, especially about Alli and Stones (who are the types of players we should be spotting before rather than after they become superstars) and yea, a young player will have bad days. I hope we stand by them if and when it happens. I hope we stop chasing Sanchez et al each time a tiny gap appears in the squad and leave a route into tbe first team for kids like Diaz. Academy players are never going to break through with us otherwise.

Don't agree with the belief a squad has to be 22 international stars. We could probably do with a couple less in our squad, especially in midfield and wide where we have so many that a plague of biblical proportions would be required to open a path for an Academy kid.

It's signings like Delph, Rodwell, Fernando, Sinclair that we don't need. These spots should go to club trained players from the Academy.

We should concentrate on top players when it comes to signings, or elite talents like Jesus.

I'm sure (without the use of hindsight) that the club thought they were as they do with all signings. Some work and some don't, there are no guarantees sadly

Hope he gets 45 minutes against WBA if not longer

If he learned to pass a bit more when on the ball I think Pep would be more inclined to give him chances. This will come with experience though.

I hope Diaz, Foden and Tosin get involved somehow as they are part of the squad.

This.

 

[City_Sean]

If Madrid are sniffing around then we need to try and give him game time. Him getting 45 minutes and the likes of Foden shows the academy lads the progression to the first team is there.

That's just a classic young player thing though. Christ, only a year ago Isco was getting criticised and people were saying he'd never progress because he was always over dribbling and holding onto the ball too long.

Experience and good coaching and he'll find the right balance of when to go on his own and when to pass.
