2024/25 Iliman Ndiaye

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

He has 9 overall and compare that to our other forwards

There’s no disputing that compared to the others he’s much more productive.
9 overall with 3 being penalties, with hardly any assists isn’t particularly impressive though.

I like him a lot by the way. It’s more damming on the way we approach games than on him

Since the injury this guys form has dropped off a cliff.... Is the real NDaiye the fella we 1st saw or what we are seeing now which got him the boot from Marseille?

It`s not beyond the realms of possibility that he had a bounce from the move now he has reverted to type.

Because I think he can struggle to pick a pass at times, great that he dribbles a lot but something on the end of it would be great - feels kind of like what Moyes was saying in that there’s more to come from him. That said he definitely seems to be a far better threat already under Moyes, as I said not camped on the 18 yard line and being allowed to push higher up to start counters definitely suits him more.

I was right in January.

He’s an odd player. He can run with a ball well, but can’t cross which stops him being an out and winger. He can move the ball well at times, but isn’t consistent enough or creative enough to be a 10. Can score but isn’t an out and out CF. Maybe lacks a bit of explosive pace as well - can beat players with the ball at his feet but never seems to get away from them.

He feels like a square peg in a round hole. Yes there’s a really exciting player in there, but is there something that makes him a must pick at any position, aside from a lack of squad depth?

But he’s not a joy to watch

At times he is, sorry for liking a player ffs.

Reminds me of Gray when he first signed

One of the few bright spots this season, people are never happy. Personally I'm willing to wait until he has a season with a better group of players and a season where Sean 'I dont train players' Dyche isn't manager.

He spent a majority of the season back tracking instead of attacking, nobody shines under Dyche tactics but Ndiaye at least gave us some bum off seat moments.

Reminds me of Gray when he first signed

He's nothing like that bum

 

[PhilRegan]

He's nothing like that bum

Think they have similar ability myself. End product is very similar too

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Teams are making it hard for him.

He's our most creative player so team are stifling him.

The more quality we add to the team the more freedom he will get on the pitch.

Hes rubbish, if we got more than half what we paid for him, I would sell him tomorrow.

Are you on the wind up? Would you actually sell him for 7.5m?

Yes, no.

 

[Hellerad]

The closest profile to Pienaar we’ve had. Use him the same way and have somebody with pace and crossing on the right side.

 

[Efcjake]

Still think he should get a game as the 10
