2024/25 Iliman Ndiaye

[Toffe3m4n]

He's obviously done this due to the backlash.

I posted about this afterwards. He should have said Ndiaye is on the left so he can adjust to the league first.

Also he and McNeil should be switching positions in game -- same with Lindstrom.

Absolutely THE MOST obvious thing that Dyche should be doing with this side. It's staring him right in the face..

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Good God, the man is a menace.

It's the players fault that Dyche has averages one goal a game according to some!

Well at least he didn’t pick doucoure for the #10 spot although no doubt either McNeil or N’Diaye will come off after an hour due to ‘exhaustion’ and Doucoure will push into the #10 role with Mangala shoring up midfield with the perennial Gana.

Dyche is nothing if not predictable

I liked that in that “i” article from earlier in the week, Everton have rebranded defending as “attacking without the ball.”

You can feel the spin from Thelwell, trying to polish this ideological turd that’s currently managing us.

“humping without hips”

 

[pfim]

Offered nothing. Small sample size, but the team was better with McNeil in the middle

 

[dannyboy]

He's a obviously a good player but we've been so starved of any decent players for so long we probably overrate him. Struggled today but there is no one to play off. The centre forward in particular is crippling the team.

 

[Sean0925]

Only player willing to take a man on while the rest of the team can't wait to get rid of the ball.

 

[vintage-toffees]

Tactics are hampering him massively

 

[Bebeto]

We need another ndiaye in January to play on the other side...

Correct. A player with ability in this team becomes an instant saviour and expect 10 out of 10 performances every week. Not going to happen but feel we should bring him in the game a lot more. He should be our focal point now and have players making runs and supporting him

You can see - if you watch the match back,Dyche actually motions at him about the 80th min mark to go on a run, making a weaving pattern with his hand at him, they suggests to me he was told to defend versus go forward

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

Would love to see this guy playing with literally anyone else that has a clue going forward. He dribbles to nowhere bc he has no other options.

It’s all on him to do something for us, all the time. Except for occasionally McNeil

It’s maddening

 

[TheBigIguana]

I actually think he's much better wide left. Might just be the state of the team.

 

[Amokachi1995]

He was pretty average today.

Weird though that he finally plays no. 10 when they're defending for their life and there's no space. In my simple mind that would be the time to get him high up on the left and leave McNeil central for shots.

 

[ToffeeScot]

He was poor today but he's also playing in a side that doesn't know how to attack. Better teams and tactical systems would create space for him to shine and we don't.

I think he’s a good player, regardless of whether he plays 10 or on the left. The problem with him on the left is that out of possession Dyche has him playing as an extra left back. We need to get him picking the ball up higher up the pitch, not 30 yards inside his own half with two or three men to beat and no support from a fullback.

Absolute criminal waste of this talent - I’d sack Dyche right now personally. There are better players there than they’re showing - he’s limiting what they can do. Terrible.
