I watched the first half and Diarra showed some nice touches, but he gave the ball away almost every time he had it. It's like he was chuffed with himself for shifting the ball into space and then played the pass before really seeing what's going on. He certainly doesn't have a good mental picture of what's happening around him, one of the reasons I don't think he'll ever be a top, top player despite having all the physical tools.
