Good for him but a shame for us that he is away with Mali. Assuming he will be going away for a break after so will join pre season 2-3 weeks behind everyone else.

Extra time. Don't wear him out for us!
He's looked strong on the ball in the 10/15 minutes I saw.
This'll have done him the world of good.

Well he'll be on his way back home now anyway. Beaten on penalties.

It'll have been a brilliant experience for the lad. Packed stadium against the hosts in their backyard in a semi final.
Thought he played well and showed good vision with the cross field ball to help set up the equaliser.
Am I right in thinking the 3rd place winner gets an Olympic slot?

Warnock giving him number 11 is a sign that he highly rates him and I expect him to feature more this season.

Must admit I thought he wasnāt quite at championship level last season and could do with a loan, but those stats of him covering the most distance put him firmly in the Warnock type player camp. If they can work on his efficiency with the ball in pre season then he could improve vastly next season.

Diarra is a bit of composure and decision making away from being a very good player at this level even now. Heāll only get that with regular games, and I think a goal or two will make him feel much more relaxed.

Iād want him in the slot we had Kasey Palmer in for the promotion season. Taking the ball on the half turn and running at either the defence or the anchor man in the midfield. Especially if we can find a midfielder that can pass through bodies to get it to him.

In the game for Mali U23s last night it seemed like he was given a free reign and popped up everywhere in attack.

The lad's best ability I've seen so far, is to run with the ball, he seems much stronger than he looks & once he learns when to pass, when to take another man on or when to lay it off, I think we'll have a great player.
I see him as a free reign no 10 but he needs time to develop, he's far from the finished article & I hope our fans have patience with him. I see him as bench player, currently, a game changer. The problem is he really needs to be playing all the time.

If there was a stat for number of yellow cards drawn for fouls versus time on the pitch, this guy would probably be miles ahead of anyone else in the league.
Wouldnāt be surprised if he got chopped down 8 times leading to a yellow, think Swansea did it 3/4 times in the first 20 minutes.
That says quite a lot about his potential.

I dont know if we would ever play like this but i quite like the idea of 3 CMs being Rudoni,Kasumu and Diarra.
Seems like a nice balance of holding and attacking with Rudoni able to kind of move between those two areas.

If his passing and timing doesn't improve this season I wonder if he'd be better being made into a winger though. He's such a good dribbler.

He simply has to show better quality on the ball in possession or else he may be one that we look to replace in the long run.

As much as he has the energy, tenacity and a ability to carry the ball, it's all very erratic at present.

Just watched the first 20 minutes. All of Morrocco's attacks were on their left, Diarra was too smart for them on their right. When he eventually gets the ball, he displays excellent midfielder awareness and skills. He just needs more coaching from NW to build up his confidence levels. He could be an amazing player one day.
