2024/25 Iliman Ndiaye

[Blue peter]

Better than Pienaar

Need a LB to have as equally a potent partnership as Pienaar had with Baines. Imagine that!

 

[blulouie]

…I like him lots. Give him the football in an impossible situation and he can wriggle clear or get a free kick. He’s a genuine threat in and around the box and puts in a shift for his mates.

When the ball goes to him, I trust him.

There was a 50/50 in the first half , Ndiaye got himself between ball & man , stuck his arse out and bounced the lad , turned and he was away with the ball all in one motion.

You can't teach that , pleasure to watch he's a propper baller.

 

[Blue peter]

….i get that but he’s looking more of a threat in his own right as somebody who’ll work in tandem up front. Saying that, he links well with teammates who are on the same wavelength.

That is it in a nutshell, not just technical ability and skill, but the first half a yard is in his head as well.

100%. Born with it. Many players now are athlete over footballer, not this fella.

Biggest entertainer we've had since Duncan Mc

 

[Daytripper]

Wasn’t too fussed when we signed him, so far I’ve been impressed.

The kind of player we have missed for a while , exciting, gets the crowd going when he’s got the ball. Long may it continue.

 

[Walken]

Thought he was decent today and scored a good goal but think he's been better in other matches without getting the reward.

Also the right decision to sub him off. They started getting joy down the right and McNeil shut it off.

Yep, underrated switch

Man. If we could pair McNeil and Ndiaye with a competent pacy skilled guy on the right, that could be some front 3. Their close control is really good. Just need a guy that can take advantage of their ability on the ball and get open.

100%. Ndiaye and McNeil are major ballers. A pace merchant with end product on the right would absolutely kill it. Currently Harrison kills it but in a different way.

The Pienaar/Baines partnership been one of my favourite things as an Everton fan. We had a left side whose link up play was as good as anything you could see. If we had an overlapping fullback who could cross on the left now our attacking threat would increase exponentially. It could genuinely turn us into a top 10 team immediately.

Question is....does Dyche want them (full backs) to cross over the half way line? Are they under instruction or are they just incapable

We’ve seen enough of Myko to know he isn’t capable.

 

[Somerset Blue]

Him & Digne would’ve been immense…

 

[evertondotcom]

Thank god he signed here this summer.

Top player and I suspect he won’t be here too long
