Everything he does in the build up phase is great. Lacks conviction in the penalty area too often though.

Relentless, but should have scored today.

Hard to criticise him because he was good the whole game, but man you have to score one of those chances.

Simplexity · « **Reply #4083 on:** March 10, 2024, 05:49:57 pm »

How he does not score one of those chances I will go to by grave wondering.

Hes exactly like Nunez a while ago. Does everything right except scoring

SMASHerano · « **Reply #4085 on:** March 10, 2024, 05:50:36 pm »

That one-on-one was really really bad. He really had to score.

harryc · « **Reply #4086 on:** March 10, 2024, 05:50:41 pm »

Had to put one of those chances away, poor effort that.

jooneyisdagod · « **Reply #4087 on:** March 10, 2024, 05:51:01 pm »

Did everything but score. With a little more composure, he wins us the game in what was otherwise a barnstorming second half. Cannot fault anyone that puts in effort like that.

Fantastic performance. Just lacked that finishing touch.

He's brilliant at everything except for scoring and assisting. Just wildly inconsistent on that front.

could of had a hattrick

Coolie High · « **Reply #4091 on:** March 10, 2024, 05:54:33 pm »

Should be scoring, we can't afford a player whos good at everything but not decisive.

Yep, poor finishing but an absolutely fantastic second half performance. He was taking too many touches on the ball first half and looks a little short on confidence in front of goal.

Good play, but lacking the cutting edge at the moment. He has that in him.

RedSince86 · « **Reply #4094 on:** March 10, 2024, 05:56:05 pm »

Got some Engine and Desire, but his finishing is way below.

Kansti · « **Reply #4095 on:** March 10, 2024, 05:56:37 pm »

Like I said, tireless and full of energy, but no end product. He had an opportunity to slip Darwin in for a 1 on 1 as well, but just preferred to continue dribbling. Why?

I'm not sure "does everything right" is a good description of his performance. There were occasions where a better pass, a better touch, or a quicker pass would have been better. It's not just this game. It's always been the case with him this season. He's always playing like it's just himself on the pitch. There is no connections with other players. Just touch touch touch until he runs out of options.

The problem is he has a die trying attitude on the pitch so you can't criticize him. I feel like this is the part the manager has to come in and improve his play. Hopefully the next manager will be able to add end products to Diaz.

He is superior in running with the ball and stamina but his decision making is so bad, wasted so many goal scoring opportunities. Unbelievable!

FlashGordon · « **Reply #4101 on:** March 10, 2024, 06:04:57 pm »

Yeah should have scored but chances are missed. He was unbelievable today.

He was fantastic.

He missed 3 huge chances, the hard work around that doesn’t absolve him for those misses.

Shepnois · « **Reply #4103 on:** March 10, 2024, 06:07:08 pm »

Shocking in front of goal today, such a shame played great everywhere else but in a massive game lacking where it counts.

JackWard33 · « **Reply #4104 on:** March 10, 2024, 06:07:11 pm »

It’s the ultimate curates egg of a performance - his passing and finishing were poor, ball carrying, running and effort off the charts

Yep, he can't be fantastic if his end product isn't great, Traore St Maxim and the likes have been lambasted on this forum time and time again for giving defenders a torrid time without scoring or assisting.

MNAA · « **Reply #4106 on:** March 10, 2024, 06:10:07 pm »

Love him. incredible effort. But you can’t help but wish that we have prime Mane instead for the chances he missed. We could have buried this lot

RyanBabel19 · « **Reply #4107 on:** March 10, 2024, 06:10:37 pm »

Took the game to them, shame he couldnt score and just laughed at Neville acting like he should have hit one first time as the replay showed it to be impossible because the pass was behind him

darragh85 · « **Reply #4108 on:** March 10, 2024, 06:11:09 pm »

im not sure the second one was that bad. ball was behind and he kind of had to tee it up. the first one should have went in though.

regardless, he was outstanding today especially in the second half.

bornandbRED · « **Reply #4109 on:** March 10, 2024, 06:11:32 pm »

He has to finish one of those chances…

That's what he is, though, isn't it? I don't really think he's good enough, but I am always impressed by his sheer desire to win. I doubt he's ever going to improve his output much, but he's a hell of a squad player.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #4111 on:** March 10, 2024, 06:12:52 pm »

Played the game of his life in that second half, couldn't have done much more. Anyone saying he can't beat his man just needs to watch that second half.

Quite strange because the statisticians only had us missing 2 big chances in the whole game.

Seemed unstoppable, as if he took a few sniffs of his national export at half time

Maybe I’m a bit glass half full but the lad left everything on the pitch and did everything but score … kept creating all game long and showed real commitment … the one on one .. a couple of inches the other way and he’d be the hero …

PEG2K · « **Reply #4117 on:** March 10, 2024, 06:35:31 pm »

I dont mind the 1v1 miss though. As cliched as it goes, strikers miss chances sometimes. But we had so many potential situations in both halves that with better build up play would have created even more clear cut chances. And Diaz has never been a part of intricate build up play with quick passing and movement. He just takes the ball and goes for a stand off with their right back. The comparison to Traore and Saint Maximin is oddly apt.

RedG13 · « **Reply #4118 on:** March 10, 2024, 06:38:06 pm »

It sucks he missed those. But being able to get on the end of create them is super important. He will keep doing that.

JP! · « **Reply #4119 on:** March 10, 2024, 06:43:28 pm »

Fantastic today, not sure he misses those chances without being Diaz, if that makes sense.
