2024/25 Iliman Ndiaye

[TommyDavo]

That's why he cost £15m and not £50m. Still, he's a joy to watch and can be fantastic when he's on form, I think he performs better out-wide. For a debut season, he's done more than fine.

But he’s not a joy to watch

 

[SuperKev91]

Maybe lacking in confidence to go past a man currently.

I think he’s really lacking another dynamic to his game other than ball to feet. If he could be coached into attacking the space at times as well then it would open up more space for him. Currently too predictable and he definitely doesn’t look like the answer in the middle.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Good to see him get a full game.

Movement in front was non existent today but had some nice touches.

I look forward to him playing with real footballers.

 

[Blast_of_Cannock]

I mean, does this mean Dyche was right and he isn’t a 10?

A broken clock is right twice a day as well.

I always think the problem for players like Ndiaye is when they need to go past someone because that's what the team demands. It's great he's got that in his locker but even better when he has options around him to pass to as well.

Right now we're so poor as an attacking unit it requires moments of brilliance to unlock a defence. The hardest part is that these moments of brilliance are even harder to come by when the opposition knows the likes of Ndiaye are the only threat. Far easier to mark out the game.

 

[blulouie]

He's got all the ball carrying qualities that he usually has , but since his injury is lacking that burst of pace we saw earlier this season.
Still not up to match speed for me.

No end product. Disappoints most weeks

If that had been mcneil playing at the level he has the last few games he would have had lots of criticism from the fans. He works hard dribbles well but produces nothing at the end

 

[Drago]

We need an attacking, creative fullback to get the very best out of him. Not a fella that can't run with the ball at his feet.

 

[SJB]

Doesn't look his usual self since the injury, hopefully a rest and a full pre-season gets him back to how he was. I do wonder if players are rushing themselves back because they want to be on the pitch for the last match at Goodison.

 

[GoldenToffee]

No hate on him because he's not back to full fitness and is surrounded by crap players two levels beneath him and no decent strikers in the squad. He'll flourish next season - hopefully.

7 goals say otherwise

Doubt hes ever assed only been here about 8 months

How many pens?

 

[buskwhi2]

7 goals say otherwise

Does it? When 2 were penalties.

5 goals from open play from a forward player doesn’t exactly scream end product. Not many assists either

 

[billyblue80]

Still doesn’t look fully fit the injury has curtailed his acceleration for now, we won't see him properly back till next season
