2024/25 Iliman Ndiaye

[brettangellnightporter]

Just looking at the team in September 2014 and had a little weep, that was probably the last time.

He reminds me a bit of Mirallas but far higher potential imo.

He's nothing like kev

 

[Delargeinho]

Just imagine if we had 4 or 5 players like him. He doesn't skip on defensive duties, looks to attack and always wants to be on the front foot

In modern football all 11 players are responsible for attack and defense.

He's that Semenyo type of player we urgently needed. Hard-working against the ball, then having a good technical ability, pace and shooting.

Can only restate differently what has been said before: really great player and seemingly the only bright spot in this, so far, very grim campaign.

Cant remember last time we had such potential player for the terasses

Iliman Ndiaye: “We’re winning and suddenly they’re Leicester catching up and maybe could have won the game. I wouldn’t say they created more chances than us, but we need to finish our chances to put the game to bed and stay focused.

Obviously on a personal note, I was very happy to get the goal. Step by step, we’re trying to pick up points, go in the right direction and start getting wins.

We haven’t been picking up points and today it was really important to get a win, but we’ve finished the game with a draw. We’re going to reflect once again on what went badly and what was good to try and win the next game.”

Love this guy. He gets it. We need ten more like him and one managing the team.

I think the best thing about him is the way he wears his socks.

Needed someone like that since davies left .

I know what you mean though

60% of the time … he beats his man every time

He’s like a better version of penear … and I loved him as a player

Interesting to look back at some of the comments when he first signed.

He does have that kind of style about him. Low sense of gravity, slick feet, progressive in the way he moves with the ball and brings others into play. He's just a proper footy player, makes a massive difference having someone like him.

Yep, we kind of got rid of anyone with any sign of ball playing skills for one reason or another. Replaced them all with 'players who can do a specific job' like a set piece. Left us devoid of any naturally pacy skillfull creative players.

Barkley, Richarlison, Lukaku, Lookman, Gordon...anyone that has that something creative about them. So its fantastic to see a player like Ndiyae coming in - sorely shows what we are missing. Need more like him. It makes football easier!

Hence his sex panther nickname.

more like a pienaar with a bit of extra pace, rather than Mirallas.

 

[God Benfrey]

Wanna see him central instead of Dwight

Think it was still a gamble of signing. Paid off eventually
