2025/26 Iliman Ndiaye

[Rita_Poon]

Needs Digne or Baines and would be twice the player somehow. Moyes knows!

 

[davek]

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.

Walking round the perimeter of the pitch signing autographs during the game against the mighty Burnley underlined that he thinks he's a superstar and his AFCON win has put him in the world class category. He isn't and it doesn't.

Play him up top. He does it all on his own and can’t rely on Beto, who seems to be Moyes’ favour of the month.

I'd give George ago up top , what's too lose , pacey and will run at defenders , I know it won't happen but worth a punt

5 goals & 3 assists in just over 20 games worth of minutes.

I think thats good considering the team hes in and the amount of work he puts in defensively.

He's got to stay on the left though and its a no from me on Grealish.

That's exactly where Moyes falls down massively. Barry substitute on Saturday. Ten minutes later I would have taken him off, brought George on in his place, Dibling on and switched Ndiaye to the left...

I'm not saying it would have worked but for me Barry cost us this match. His 0/10 performance was a disgrace. Beto was running at their CBs and holding the ball up. Every time the ball went to Barry it came straight back.

These decisions are evidence that Moyes has a ceiling. He is too conservative and it will cost us to the end of the season.

I think Lee Carsley who managed him i the u21's has said he can see him playing as a 9 in the future. So you might not be far off.

 

[MikeyMike]

Yes George would be a good number nine - in a different team. The number one requirement for Moyes at the moment is someone who can play with his back to the goal, holding up the ball. If we ever change to a different style, or playing against a team which plays a very high line, then George might be an option

Behave, theres nothing wrong with building a genuine connection and rapport with the fans, or would you rather we have a team of emotionless mercenaries who jump ship at the first opportunity?

Signing autographs when the match is in motion = pathetic.

When he's been subbed off so isnt involved in the match?

Must boil your piss watching cricketers sign autographs when fielding on the boundary

Cricket?

Pfffft!

Why? It’s probably the only time he will be near the relevant fans and it costs him and Everton absolutely nothing. Absolutely bizarre thing to criticise.

I would like to see Ndiaye or George be given a go upfront at some point but Moyes is never doing that.

Won't change his system.

If you can't see the hype with Ndiaye you should genuinely pick another sport.

Most entertaining player in the league and it's not particularly close. Does the dirty work too. We're very lucky to have him.
