Theres no reason at all for him to need to dive. So in my opinion the more we talk about it, the more awareness about it, the more likely he'll learn the lesson and stay on his feet whenever he can. That will only make him a better player.

Only one person said it's "okay". People like me aren't bothered about it because he's a kid, not a 28 year old seasoned pro.
The dive was bad that he got rightfully booked for, but it's not too bad as long as he doesn't become a serial diver. That probably was a pen on him though, the defender clearly barged into him.
Exactly, the whole page is almost only about his diving. Can't believe the impact he's had on the first team already.
He needs to be careful now as he might have already picked up a reputation for diving. The dive was a joke and totally unnecessary... though he definitely should have a penalty before. Annoying.
Old habits die hard I'm afraid. It still happens even la liga. It is still happening with Young, Gerrard, Suarez and many others in the Premier league. They cannot stop something that has bore them fruits i.e. Gerrard against AC Milan in the Champions League final, to cite an example.
It'll be a concern when he is genuinely fouled in the box and the ref doesn't give anything because of his reputation.
Diving is the only bad aspect to his game.
He can pass brilliantly. He can finish with both feet. He is good in the air as we seen at Villa. He tracks back. He can defend when required. He has maturity beyond his years. He goes looking for the ball to makes things happen. He can play on either wing,No 10 and the evidence suggests he could play at No. 9.

People banging about the dive rather than his terrific performance and goal?
I hate this place sometimes.

And this is naturally resulting in him not getting free kicks he should have had. The diving is both wrong and imprudent.
Now I understand why Young dives so much, it's the only time he'll ever see his name alongside Ronaldo's
Good goal.
He's a bit of a diver though, isn't he? He's done similar things 3 or 4 times this season.

Not being bothered by it and being okay with it is virtually the same thing you pedantic uber-Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime.
I don't care at all about the dive, we have world class talent on our hands.
Exactly!! If we go there then we should excuse the Young diving too. What's good for the goose is good for the gander and all that. Whether they are having a great season or a bad season, this should be criticised by us.
I hate it too but he's 18 which is why it's not really relevant for me. He's got years to have that weeded out of his game.
Pretty much everyone in the matchday threat did criticise him for it.
A couple of times yeah. Hopefully he'll quit that bit as its the only detracting factor from a great young talent
His game has been brilliant, his goal too, but his dive was shocking and to be honest, Sixpence summed it up perfectly:
And because Young is shit while Januzaj is good.
Well he's only about 8 years off his peak so I reckon he has enough time to turn perceptions around...
We are talking about this thread, not the matchday thread. This thread is about Adnan Januzaj and whatever he does during the games. It can be used to discuss his overall game either when he scores, assists, or dives. This thread is relevant to my post and not the matchday thread, thankyou.
Players like Januzaj get kicked around more than players in other positions. He'll have to get used it it.
He should've had a penalty already today!
It's not.
Thinking something is wrong and being concerned by it are two different things. Diving is wrong and adnan shouldn't do it. I don't really give a shit right now because he's an 18 year old whose just taking his first steps in his united career. 18 year olds tend to come with flaws, whether it's Ronaldo's diving or Rooneys petulance. Plenty of time to sort of them out.
They are kicking him whenever they can, can't really blame him too much for the dive. Btw, that one in the penalty box wasn't dive.
He is going to be some player. Cracking goal. Showing a little immaturity with the diving, but other than that his game in mature beyond his years. Should be easy to remove from his game though before it starts to affect decisions to badly.
Come on, that dive was embarrassing. If that had been Young...
He's special.
Wow that was some cross just now
You've got the definition and you still can't comprehend the meaning. Heh.
What are you implying?. Januzaj is no diver Reported. Well done on lowering the quality of discussion and decorum of the forum.
