I missed the first half...too bad, did not get to see how ****** he was when warming up at half time.

The performance at Fulham in the first half summed it all up with him in the engine room :down:

Lucky we had Alonso on the bench, that guy his class and i would not have Diao cleaning his boots, never mind playing with him.

FAO Raph Benitez......... Diao to The Peasants in January Please!!!!

I think Diao had a poor game even by his standards and can show much better than that. But he's still nowhere near LFC calibre and the sooner we offload him the better.

Your comments raise the question as to why Raf played him in the first place, doesn't he listen to you?

Well Kindaconfused, you've actually managed to come out with an almost worthwhile post. Almost, but not quite. Why did Rafa play Diao from the start? Dunno whether he sees something in him that a lot of us don't or whether he just wanted to see him in a competitive game. Either way he was cr*p.

And do I speak to Benitez? No. Do you?

Benitez has made 2 mistakes so far this season , the first away at Bolton playing a 5 man midfield and last Saturday playing Diao.......However he is unlikely to make the same mistake twice which is the sign of a good manager...

Benitez played Diao to rest Alonso but he couldn't risk another loss on the road so he brought on Alonso.

I do think however it was more a case of Diao was ******.

I don't think we have seen the best of Diao, he looks so rusty when he plays.

He needs a long run playing first team, maybe in the championship till january.

yeah Dalglish -Give the lad time to settle in. You aint seen the best of him at all. He does look rusty -maybe he needs oiled :laugh:

by **greenred** » Sun Oct 24, 2004 2:26 am

oh ffs give the lad a break.He has never been given a decent run in the team.But i agree that its probably too late.

by **A.B.** » Sun Oct 24, 2004 2:47 am

We do not have time anymore to test players out, its too late. Diao has no future here at Anfield.

by **67-1098209959** » Sun Oct 24, 2004 3:32 pm

I also think that it is too late for Diao, but I don't think he been given the right opportunity to show his best.

But its irrelevent now.

Did you see those elephants playing football on the Micheal Pallin TV programe last night, very similar to Diao ?
