2025/26 Iliman Ndiaye

[BullensBob]

Anyone know why he got subbed early?

Was he injured or just a precaution?

He was holding his right leg fair bit for 5 mins before he came off, and looked visible tired/slowed down. Must have got a knock. Hopefully just being careful

How’d we get a player like him for the price we paid????

Big Kev doing bits mate.

 

[NathDogg]

Kids know…..

What a player.

Love this fella

Because he flopped in France and we had tracked him for a few years from when he was very good for Sheff U, something to credit Thelwell for

I'd honestly like to see Ndiaye play upfront.
Watching him once again on the weekend turning and weaving his way through 4 players on the wing, I'd love for him to be picking up the ball 25yards out and turning the CBs inside out. We dont need a tall lumber upfront as ours cant even trap or control a ball anyway.

Ndiaye
Mcneil - Grealish - Dibling
KDH - Gana

I think he could play there in a front-foot side that has control of games. He's pretty good at competing for long balls, but he hasn't really got the physicality to deal with the way we launch things at the striker's head or expect them to outrun everyone down a channel, as we do at the moment. Would be a nice experiment though. He's definitely got the tools to score more goals from there.

To the tune of Piano Man…:

“Dance down the wing for us Illiman
Score us a goal when it’s tight
You came here from France when we needed you
The King of the Toffees tonight!”

[Victus]

His kid was right

 

[Neiler]

New contract please Greg.

 

[Ibby]

Lovely goal by him.

 

[maccavennie]

Took that goal so well

 

[RomanReigns]

I think that only the second time he’s ever started on the right wing / midfield in the prem for us

 

[14_dollars]

I know Grealish has rightly got most of the attention but it’s great that Ndiaye scored the last ever goal at GP and first ever goal at HD.

As well as being a superb player, his attitude is spot on and he seems to be universally loved.

Has to be Thelwell’s greatest signing during a period of significant financial pressure.

I thought he went off because he looked knackered and why wouldn’t he, he ran all over the place for sixty minutes up and down that line, he was my MOTM before he went off and not just for anticipating where Grealish was going to put that centre. I hope he went off because of that tiredness and not through an injury— he is invaluable to Everton with the amount of work he does and getting you off your seat with plenty of it.
