2025/26 Iliman Ndiaye

[banno]

Wouldn’t surprise me if City come in for him next summer. I’d be looking at Kudus sort of money. Iv rather keep him obviously.

I am hoping we can keep him but a big contract may be needed when the time comes. I find him exciting, unpredictable and his skill is just unbelievable. Our modern day Alex Young, Duncan McKenzie..........the entertainer. He will be even better if we have a good full back and striker to support him.

Still can't get over how Beto misses that

I agree. Just a shame we have two lumps up front. A decent finisher and someone with an ounce of attacking movement and Ndiaye would be even better.

You’ve never played/watched football. The ball needs that pace to beat the defenders and goalkeeper. They intercept slower ball. Beto is just never in the right place. He doesn’t anticipate or move well. We had equally good situations as City’s two goals and neither were difficult finishes. Haaland just gets in the right place over and over again.

This ^^^ is utter claptrap masquerading as authoritative comment.

If you overplay a pass it's as useless as underplaying it.

Allow me to explain: you - as the distributor - see the move made by Beto so you play the ball across the 6 yard box that tempts the defenders into getting a touch on it and turning it into their own net. To do that it needs to dissect that space between lunging defenders and goal keeper rooted to their line. But if it's not a pass that looks like reaching a forward (in this instance Beto), then it wont temp defenders to put a foot on it.

You're welcome.

If you look at it....Beto foot actually goes over the ball so that means he reached the ball but his foot was too high. Beto sitter....great pass that needed a bit of pace. Just another point is Ndiaye did all the hard work and put it into the danger zone where you would expect a clued up striker to be.....Beto was just a yard to slow.

We can twist this as much as we like

All that skill, effort and hard work to no avail, even he must be thinking that too.

What you see with that chance is brilliant movement from Beto: he goes near post taking two defenders that way, then goes far post to create the space. Ndiaye spots it all but puts in a ball that doesn't have to be that far in front of Beto for him to lunge at. Basically Ndiaye had the space to put a ball in that bypassed the two scrambling defenders and enough to evade the GK for Beto to tap in the net. Ndiaye made it a half chance when it should have been walked in by Beto with a less over hit pass.

Mate, any half decent striker should finish that. It's 6 inches overhit at most.

Nah. It's got a lot of pace on it and his leg is stretch out to the maximum. There's no control he can get over the ball.

 

[Bazlar]

Serious question. If we could only keep one who would you prefer. Ndiaye or Grealish?

Nah! Bad miss..........foot over the ball and Beto has been missing sitters over the last month or so for Club and Country. He is bang off form

Has to have a bit of pace on it to get through the gap. Just feel like Beto get's a toe on it so he should be finishing it, he gets there but he's not coordinated enough.
