Busy tonight and clearly not at Mane's level and needs time to get used to our system, but he wasn't the issue.

Seemed promising and was a glimmer of light on a dark day. He can definitely add something to the team/squad.

There was a system tonight?

He looks good though but yes nowhere near Sadios level (not many are)

farawayred · « **Reply #443 on:** October 4, 2020, 09:31:07 pm »

I'm surprised at the headers he's winning. Good player and was always involved. Maybe he should shoot more instead of laying it on for Salah, Keita or Bobby.

Looked pretty good today. In the same way a sofa can still look good during a house fire.

I think he looks very, very good. Instantly you can see that he is an upgrade on previous attacking options from the bench.

He's not at Mane's level of course, but I do think he's high quality enough to be challenging both him and Salah for gametime. Brings something a little different. And only 23! I'm excited about him.

Ghost Town · « **Reply #447 on:** October 4, 2020, 11:24:46 pm »

Looked OK, drifted a bit, though; needed to be a bit more purposeful, as did the rest of them. Clearly a better backup to Mane than we have had so far.

Outrageous how he attacked one their players' foot with his thigh

All-Is-Bright · « **Reply #448 on:** October 5, 2020, 12:37:31 am »

Bright spark in a dark game tonight. If he can do this already, quite excited about what's to come once he's had more time to integrate and gel.

Ravishing Rick Dude · « **Reply #449 on:** October 5, 2020, 04:39:16 am »

Was decent but let's be honest, not only him, currently nobody can replace the best player in the world which is Sadio Mane.

Jota did well. Combined nicely with Robbo. Probably the only other player besides Salah that can come away with credit. He has amazing core strength, shields the ball really well, and technically very comfortable. Considering Firmino's worrying form, it will be pretty interesting to see him in a more central role when Mane's back. I think he'd be a great foil for Mane + Salah.

I was thinking the same. Overall it felt we were passing just one pass too much

kloppagetime · « **Reply #453 on:** October 5, 2020, 07:56:59 am »

At least gave a shit can't say that about the rest of them

Gods_Left_Boot · « **Reply #454 on:** October 5, 2020, 09:53:48 am »

He definitely wasn't the issue. Until 3-1 he was incisive, direct and combined very well with Robbo on that flank. He disappeared as we completely lost the grip on the game, but he really doesn't shoulder too much of the blame.

Roger Federer · « **Reply #455 on:** October 5, 2020, 10:51:44 am »

It was a bizarre game, not sure I've seen anything quite like it from us, but among some absolutely terrible performances, Jota looked very good. Along with Salah (clearly our best player) and maybe Robertson, they were the only ones who played well. We did create chances, and were decent going forward until their third goal, with Jota and Robertson being behind most of it on the left flank.

BOBSCOUSE · « **Reply #456 on:** October 5, 2020, 07:52:31 pm »

Said it after the Arsenal cup game - he really does remind me of young Robbie Fowler. One bit of play in particular in that game, where he chested it between two defenders and opened up for a left foot volley (which Leno saved), was great technique and exactly the same goal scoring instinct that made Fowler so great.

We really have picked up a gem here I think.

I think his song should be based on Led Zeppelin's 'Whole Lotta Love'.

Both goals were reminiscent of a certain Senegalese gentleman.

Not you, El-Hadji.

Trying to keep track of all of Diogo's goals and contributions in my mind is proving too difficult. Think I'll need to get a notepad and jot stuff down in there. I'll call it my Diogo Notepad.

That look suspiciously like a pace goal, therefore it doesn't count.

Two goals and an assist, good going that. Long may it continue for young Diogo.

Eeyore · « **Reply #470 on:** October 15, 2020, 12:42:28 am »

Reminds me of Bernardo Silva during his PED period

Pace, low centre of gravity and the ability to get across defenders and make recovery tackles largely impossible.

Kopenhagen · « **Reply #473 on:** October 15, 2020, 02:36:18 am »

Really reminds me of Suarez - maybe not in ability, but has similar vision, movement, and defensive workrate. He even seems to run like Suarez with the ball.

Carra-ton · « **Reply #476 on:** October 15, 2020, 09:39:07 am »

Looked great. That 2nd goal, he just kept accelerating steadily in to the box, then cuts inside at rapid pace and in to the bottom corner. If he does that against Everton, my word it will be a fine day. But, can't see him starting against Everton, maybe a cameo off the bench.
