Comments on: Arsene Wenger on Abou Diaby, “He is very strong in the challenge, good in the air, has a work rate” http://www.thegunninghawk.com/2009/11/05/arsene-wenger-on-abou-diaby-he-is-very-strong-in-the-challenge-good-in-the-air-has-a-work-rate/ From a Gunner, to fellow Gunners Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:07:13 +0100 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: blue http://www.thegunninghawk.com/2009/11/05/arsene-wenger-on-abou-diaby-he-is-very-strong-in-the-challenge-good-in-the-air-has-a-work-rate/comment-page-1/#comment-22176 blue Sat, 14 Nov 2009 02:13:15 +0000 http://www.thegunninghawk.com/?p=12547#comment-22176 Alot of arsenal supporters are like sheep. Like sheep they are pretty stupid and ignorant and when they read something that sounds like it maybe smart about one of the players( like if someone has writen something in a clever way) they think hmmm. he writes clever thus he must be right in his assumptions and jump on the bandwagon. At the moment the most popular sheep thought is "diaby sucks!" ofc most people do not know why he sucks, usually they repeat that smartass blogger they have read the day before, while thinking "he sounded smart so if i re quote him i will sound smart too". And this is why a large number of Arsenal fans hate Diaby. Sheep. Alot of arsenal supporters are like sheep.

Actually, the more you examine him, the more you realise he's good when we're pushing forward in numbers. Yes, that’s another problem of course.

But maybe we're also forgetting he's been out with a bad injury when he was close to hit top form. I remember a game against Derby I think where he was literally on fire, scored a cracker. Was that Derby? Anyway, he was showing amazing talent there, so I agree, the talent is there, he just needs to improve his defensive skills because when we're under pressure, he becomes a liability. The story changes when we're in full flow a la AZ. I agree.

He can't even get a 70m floating cross, let alone the drilling ones. the problem with him is not his talent. he might be talented but he makes simple mistakes pretty much every game. even when he’s having a great game, he does some stupid things. the own goal he scored at old trafford for example.

This site isn't as bad as some others - most of the posters are fairly balanced - which is one of the reasons I keep coming back. But even here some of the posts are pretty hateful. lol on the "good in the air" thing. He just ain't. Which is a shame because he's so tall he should be. I just though I'd post the vid to show some of the good things he can do. I can't remember most of them so it was an eye opener for me too. That long range goal against Derby was amazing...

But I also find it funny how someone can say he's good in the air after what we've seen so far this season :) No one hates anyone here mate and we never put in doubt Diaby’s ability.

Of course this video does nothing to prove that he is consistent, (which apart from winning tackles he isn't), but it does show his incredible technical skill, strength and ability to slam a ball in the net from various regions of the final third. Put in these performance on a more regular basis and learn to use your head and you'll be an A+ player Abou. For all you haters:
