Larkeche is giving his career a good boost this season. People are noticing him up here. If QPR don't want him there will be a queue of clubs trying to sign him. I'd love Dundee to keep him, but I don't think that's realistic.
It's never good seeing a player being taken off on a stretcher but Ziyad's case was funny in retrospect. It was a communication problem between Paris and Dundee. Ziyad had cramp and said he needed a stretch. His accent was a problem to the Dundonian ear, and a stretcher was called for. By the time Ziyad realised what was happening it was too late to stop the stretcher team carting him off, ignoring his protestations. Just as well we won 3-1 anyway.
He's been fantastic for Dundee. He needs to work on his defending, which is ok but can improve. His attacking is tremendous, however. He is fast, skillful and relentless. And he finishes well. He almost scored late in the game on Sunday but was denied by a fantastic save. He then took a full blooded clearance right in the face at close range. It pole-axed him, but after a damp sponge he picked himself up and won the game for us! Top man!
His 90+4 minute winner sums him up. He made a pass on the half way line, then sprinted into the penalty area to turn in the cutback. Even the opposing manager praised him after the match for his attitude. "He wanted that goal more than my defenders wanted to stop him". Ziyad Larkeche is proving very, very popular.
I love the second photo in this Instagram post with Ziyad racing away to celebrate, the defence in despair, and the fans going wild in the background. That's what football is about. https://www.instagram.com/p/DB9DJruIaRO/?img_index=2
