OPINION
It is hard not to agree with this section of West Ham fans and their verdicts on Grady Diangana in this 2-0 win over Birmingham City in the FA Cup on Saturday. Diangana provided the assist for Marko Arnautovic to score the first goal, and ever since then he has been a “menace” as one supporter rightly pointed out. He has certainly improved since the last time we saw him, and that will no doubt to absolute wonders for his confidence. The 20-year-old deserves all the praise that comes his way, as he has been “absolutely class” as well as pivotal to the Hammers’ success over their Championship opponents. Diangana is causing a selection headache for Manuel Pellegrini after this performance, much to the delight of these fans. Some of them have been impressed by his overall play on Saturday – for example, one remarked how he is a better defender than teammate Michail Antonio.

Really impressed with Diangana.
Very good workrate and good threat.
Just made the wrong decision when he linked up with Nasri.
Shouldn't of shot Nasri wanted it back and pretty sure he would of Scored.
But youngsters will learn

Diangana being a menace today against some much physically bigger opponents – glad his confidence hasn’t been knocked after his HT sub a week ago
