[Archived] Spit The Diouf

[jim mk2]

Hopefully he'll regain some pace over the summer and return a more useful player next season ... but on current form Emerton will push him out of the side.

Is Diouf competing with Emerton for the right back position ?

[thenodrog]

This flaw was quite badly exposed today, Tugay put EHD into acres of space a couple of times with great passes but the momentum was lost because Diouf chose to do some 360 degree pirouettes around the ball.Hopefully he'll regain some pace over the summer and return a more useful player next season ... but on current form Emerton will push him out of the side.

I prefer to think he was waiting for players to get into the box. He skinned the full backs on numerous occasions imo. As I mentioned before Benny seems strangely reluctant to do that of late and big Chris does not have the necessary poacher instincts. He did get a lot of of his crossing opportunities in though and they were of good quality.

I keep thinking is it me or does El Hadj look busy doing nothing.

He takes the ball up to the opponent then..................................we just have to wait and hope for next time.

Can only see the Rovers crowd putting up with it for so long.

Sums it up for me. Just looks busy enough to keep the crowd off his back. Needs to improve imo.

[sambo]

Diouf frustrates me, its like the game is in slow motion when he receives the ball.

And his corners....no pace at all!

[Guest benmaxwell]

We should get Bentley back during the window and have Diouf as a bench option for LM/RM...

He didn't look at all bothered yesterday...

[LeChuck]

A quote from Sam on the Rovers website today:

"whilst we just got Dioufy for a million"

You can't really argue with his contribution for that price. Hopefully he can shake off whatever niggling injury he was carrying last season and add more pace and trickery to the effort and determination he showed last year.

[Ronin]

Blimey at that price, got no complaints at all!

[Amo]

Nicko said it was over £2m.

Ewood E-males: El Hadji Diouf.

I'm glad he shrugged off 'that' dive against us. Yeah, we hated him for it, but it sounds petty to keep dredging it up all the time. What's done is done.

Iv seen some negative comments on here about Diouf on saturday - personally I thought he played fairly well and he turned Wayne Bridge inside out a couple of times and whipped some good crosses in.

He works hard for the team - hence why he is a Blackburn End favourite.

[Big Fat Sam]

He's the only player in our team who really runs at people with the ball. I like him and I'm glad he's a rover.

read that too. Basically he says "I did what I had to do for my club". Fair enough, but I suppose it's a shame then that diving isn't really practiced at Ewood, or we could have benefited from these type of "contributions" ourselves.

you should of seen Robert's dive at the Blackburn end on saturday...it was a bit special.

I think there was more laughter/groans than appeals.

but to stay on topic, I quite like Diouf, he was our only player that when we went 1 nil down; tried to keep the teams head up and I think this got the crowd goin a bit too.

"But only players with skill can pull off flash cars!"

Hahaha..

Wonder if Diouf and MGP fight over the mirror in the dressing room?

I hate him even more now

[American]

What does he do before taped games?

Seriously, Gamst fighting Diouf? I think Diouf has the mirror every time.

I'm still dreaming of someone ousting Diouf from the team. Odious character and average player. Shame most of our midfielders are sub-average, making Diouf stand out.

[Tom]

Joke right?

You'd hate a Rovers player more on the basis of his personal grooming routine?

Do you pick your favourite players based on boot style or hairdo then?

Rubbish - He made a big difference when he came last January and worth all we paid for him. If we continue down the 4-2-3-1 route he'll excel on the right hand side...

[Graham Fenton]

He's a disgrace.

check this before you sing his praises

He's vile
