2025/26 Iliman Ndiaye

[PercyPlant]

I thought Iliman Ndiaye had a decent enough game today against the league leaders, but he kind of vanished during the second half.

If you visit the Moyes thread you’ll find out why. Apparently Moyes told him to vanish.

Had Beto or Barry missed the chance after McNeil hit the post, people would be losing their minds.

He was offside and it literally just hit him..

He was offside and it literally just hit him..

That's beside the point.

I do have to say he needed to put pressure on Dowman on the first goal. Not a great look.

No they wouldn't. The ball just hit him.

 

[Street end man]

Bet he can't wait to play with a striker he can play off. Just hope it's with us.

No they wouldn't. The ball just hit him.

They definitely would, it just says more about the people commenting than the chance itself.

 

[Jebus_lives]

No they wouldn't. The ball just hit him.

They absolutely would.

We are immensely fortunate to have this lad. I knew nothing about him when we signed him, and now I can’t imagine how dreary it would be at the club without him in the squad.

My favourite player by a mile since peak Baines

He was not offside - Sky stated that it just hit him ....

Terrible today and since AFCON. Needs to get his head out of his arse.

Yup. On current form, not particularly essential to us. I'm in no rush to sell him, but I don't get the hype. Has had some nice cameos last season and early this, but gone off a cliff since the Cup of Nations. That goal tonight and the way he dived in the Leeds game, I think it was, that led to their goal bother me. Promising way more than he's delivering at the moment.

Think he’s suffered with Grealish’s injury and general lack of support - teams knowing he’s the only danger man. Moyes idea of attacking plan is basically stay in shape, don’t commit forward and give it N’Diaye and see if he can beat half a team and do something from nowhere.

It was a good move for him aswell given his dream Marseille move quickly evaporated.

However he'll want to play in Europe again regularly approaching his peak years.

I would say since he's joined enough progress has been made that he'll still be here next season. And a pretty good chance now for Europa qualification.

I thought he could of been rotated the past couple of matches but stellar performance today
