While I do blame Clichy for giving away the ball for, was it two of the goals at City, he was trying to fill a void by Diaby. Diaby didn't run up the left wing at all in that game, didn't run into the box, there was just no support at all, so CLichy decided to try to run up the left wing to get attacks going, commendable, yet Diaby still didn't support him and didn't drop back in to left back to cover. For the goal where Richards was up against Song Diaby was walking back, he's fast had he run full pace he could easily have at least put him under pressure for the cross. He's a lazy twit, his two goals were completely made by other peoples fantastic play, good finishes, nothing special but completely unmarked due to his late "jog" into the box. Since then he's done nothing to push us forwards, or defend. Wilshire/Ramsey/Eboue/Mannone would have done a better job since the Pompie game for us.
Diaby will probably play and tbh, due to quality of the opposition it won't be a problem hell he might even play well, doesn't matter he's shown time and time again against even average opposition let alone the top half, he's useless. Same goes for several other starters at the club. We should be seeing players like Wilshire and Ramsey start these smaller games, getting experience and time on the pitch, improving and gelling with the squad, but as with the past 3 years, our youth players barely get a look in past the cup no one cares about
