Yes; but Ndiaye didn’t make the entire team play differently.

he gave us an outlet but didn’t make the entire team think “oh now we can play”

In my view, he (and taking Doucoure away from a number 10 role), and a lesser opposition was the significant factor behind our improvement vs the prior 2 games.

I've felt for years that just having someone like Pienaar on the pitch would be massive for us, and NDiaye could be that player.

Ndiaye will be good for us; but he didn’t impact the rest of the team in how we played that game.

If you honestly believe that Dyche has wanted to play a certain way but couldn’t because he waiting for Ndiaye, then that raises even bigger questions about his reliance on certain players and formations.

It was tactics from the manager, and the fear you should hold on to is that he will look at the game and think “we got beat, let’s shut up shop moving forward, play margins and don’t concede”.

Last time we played with that freedom was Burnley away, he then went to wolves with the same setup, we got hammered and the he just went back to “snatch a point mentality”

so the team then left fell apart

The contributing factor was putting the wrong subs on and leaving very very tired players in the pitch

Bournemouth changed half their team, for fresh energy and legs. We left 36 year old Seamus Coleman on because the manager is useless Brexit bellend

Can't deviate from the dyche master plan which somehow involves not replacing keane or reinforcing our defense with Obrien

Utd 4 - Everton 4. Ferguson should have been sacked after that.

I don't know about should have been sacked, but I take your point. This collapse is hard to take, but I don't think it will cost us in the long run.

Day 7.

I was being sarcastic.

It’s going to be a long season, again…

I was being sarcastic.

I didn't really think you meant it literally.

The official YouTube channel hasn’t uploaded highlights from the match.

Maybe someone there does feel a sense of shame, either that or they couldn’t be arsed
