Brahim Diaz - 2017/18 Performances

[oldius]

With Bernardo, I think we will have a lot of competition in the AM area. A real prospect.

 

[Manchester1894]

Feels like another Lopez, D.Suarez situation. Talented but pressure of progressing swallow them up.

needs more game time, plays like sane did when he first arrived. eager to take on his man but not quite making every decision correctly. but that comes with experience as sane is showing right now. I personally think being snubbed by Sanchez may the best outcome when it comes to giving this lad some minutes.
we are half way through the season and he hasn't got many minutes under his belt. if we can't give youth a chance when we are in such a commanding position then I don't know when we will. it's not just any old youth though, brahim is probably one of the best out there for his age.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Diaz, yes!

What the fuck you on about?

I think he was (pretty unfairly) put behind Foden in the pecking order, mainly because of the feelgood factor of Foden being a local lad, which meant Foden got given the opportunities. But you can see how keen Pep is to get him on if the game allows it, so foden getting injured could be great for Brahim.

He fannyed around a bit trying to impress when he came on, but he looks like he is physically ready now. The way he turned the big cb at the end, being an example.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

he needs a loan. he just isn't getting enough game time to develop and i can't see it getting any better next season. its a real problem for our young players.

Yup, he looks physically a level above where he was last year (and where Foden is now) and it's just about trying to get into situations to get him on the pitch, as at the moment he's getting so little time he's understandably trying to do something noteworthy to further his cla. Could see him getting a start in the FA Cup as it would be good to see him playing when the rest of the team are still trying and with enough time to calm down and play his game

 

[SWP's back]

What the fuck you on about?

Very much this. Who the fuck is that guy?

 

[Rolee]

He runs at defenders, he can go past defenders, and a minute after he came on v. Newcastle he dived. If they can't teach him not to cheat he can get back to Spain.

He ran into the defender and stumbled.

I was impressed with him mopping up a dangerous situation at one stage, ran the ball out for a throw but the working back and clever play got us out of a spot, well played lad.
