city1983 Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 His defending from set pieces is sublime aswell. I’m never worried about defending a corner or a cross from a free kick when he is back there. When he’s missing we seem to fall to pieces defending set pieces. i think the biggest problem with him has been that when we are pressed we have no options in midfield, and because of his strengths he is seen as the easy option to lump the ball to, when he is isolated and asked to do a thankless task of making something happen on his own given proper service and decent support from another striker that isn’t weimann, or a proper midfield he looks a different player all together Think he’s be a huge miss if he leaves, more than anyone realises.

GrahamC Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 7 hours ago, ExiledAjax said: The real beauty is that those 41 are made up of 14 (13 league) in his first season, 13 (all league) last season, and 14 (12 league) this season. If you look the spread as well the goals come evenly across a season. He rarely scores 2 or a hat trick but on the flipside his longest (league) goal drought is a mere 6 games. He's not the perfect striker. He's poor one-on-one, doesn't get many assists, and is prone to a red card. But he's just so steady. That kind of metronomic scoring is useful, and expensive to replace. He's not spectacular, he doesn't play pretty football; but he's damn good at our level and if he leaves we will miss him greatly. Finally, it looks as though today's might have been his 100th career goal (at club level). In 292 pro appearances. 1. In. 3. Great post making a lot of good points. In his 3 seasons with us he has made 114 league appearances, so an average of 38 a season, (41 in the one just ended) so if you take out his 2 suspensions for reds, (1 justified, 1 not) his only absence was after he picked up the shoulder injury in the Palace cup game. His goal scoring rate is incredibly consistent, not outstanding but good and his worth to the team goes far beyond that. Replacing him will be very tough, we have a player at a good age who appears settled here, so we should only sell if he refuses a new deal or the money we are offered is huge.

Think back to goals v Derby, Barnsley and West Brom. In some redirects you want him to stay away from the big hairy arsed CBs and play on other defenders. I look back to Brum (h) two seasons ago, when Djuric took care of Morrison, and Fam got to bully the smaller Dean. Im not suggesting going two big men...but some nouse from the head coach to create situations where Diedhiou can use his advantages. Last night Alex Neil put Potts up against Dasilva. 1) height 2) Potts is a worse horse both a) in attack and b) defensively. I rarely saw LJ look to get Diedhiou into positions to dominate other players. He’s always played up against the dominant CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 In addition to the goals he scores, his work at defensive set pieces probably saves us a few over the course of the season and we miss him when he isn't there. For example, I'm convinced that first Sheff Wed goal the other week doesn't happen if he's on the pitch as he'd likely be covering the near post area that was left unguarded.

Lanterne Rouge Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 He`s had a better season than the overrated, overpriced and overpaid often-touted replacement for him - Britt Assombalonga.
