I thought he did really well. Seems to have grown a bit. Impressive cameo.

He's a different kettle of fish to Foden.
He's much more technically gifted. That's not a knock on Foden, but Diaz is possibly once in a generation kind of player and I never understood why he didn't get more hype than Sancho given he's a more talented player (well I do know if I choose to be cynical about it..).
Foden however is so much more incredibly clever for his age. Again, that's not a knock on Diaz. Foden is much more intelligent than most his age (like Jesus is); his movement off the ball and his eye for a pass is outstanding.
They're both such wonderful talents (I'd put them on a par overall) and maybe I'm burying my head in the sand with this a bit but after what happened with Sancho I think we'll see these two get plenty of games for us soon enough.

Needed on the bench at home vs shit like West Ham sat in their box all game. Bring him on in final 15+ mins with the sole purpose of driving into the area. The amount of panic and chaos his incredible 2-footed dribbling will cause will basically guarantee, at worst, a good few penalties

tbf id say both foden and diaz could be once in a generation players. they are both so talented.
Wouldn't that make them twice in a generation players?tbf id say both foden and diaz could be once in a generation players. they are both so talented.

Missed the game. Just seen Foden's pass for Jesus though. That was right out of De Bruyne or Silva's locker.

not really, if they were the same type then yes.
