And he often considers playing it forward which is a big plus. I can't understand how Diaby is considered a good player but Cazorla gets panned. Diaby is a negative influence on the team, like Ramsey most of the time. Slow, ponderous, unaware of what's going on around him, negative, always looking to slow the play, takes too many touches, easily dispossessed, always ready to play it backwards or sideways. Mata would be just as disadvantaged if he had players like Diaby around him.
I don't think Diaby is a good player. He's one of the worst IMO. Of all time. Sure, partnering him doesn't help but Cazorla disappears too often in games. It's sad that in this day and age where Spanish midgets are awesome in midfield, we got the 2 worst ones. Thanks Wenger.
