Great to see N'Diaye in a more central position in a front 3. A joy to actually see an Everton forward receiving the ball with his back to goal twisting, turning and then running at defenders, holding the ball allowing midfielders to break up the pitch, giving opposition defence nightmares (rather than just having to focus on defending against our CF). He's wasted out wide in 4 4 2 or 4 5 1 - having him track back covering LB is criminal. Give him free rein in 3 4 3 or 4 3 3 and we'd actually enjoy going to the match again.

indeed we can get the best out of him more centrally and closer to goal. his goal against spurs is a great example of the spaces he prefers to occupy. this also means we could have fofana occupy the lw spot
 

He deserves a team around him that can lift his game even more. He's doing everything as an individual to get the most out of his talent and ability, but needs the rest of the squad to squeeze that little bit extra from him.
