Playing him central in his best position 2nd half we can all see the benefits.
But yanno Dyche sticks him on the wing & puts McNeil centre in the 1st half.
Who'd have thought playing your players in their correct position actually works.

Was just going to say this not sure what the other fella was watching but he looked lost in the middle and came alive on the wing in the second half!

Dyche will soon have the turning on a sixpence and driving at defenders coached out of him. Expecting slow, ponderous passes back into defence and his first touch being backwards within a handful of games.
He's an exciting player, but there's a reason that Doucoure, Harrison and McNeil get played by Dyche, they press and work hard defensively. Hopefully Ndiaye can do that too
That's all being based on Dyche's reasoning being fit and proper. We've only seen glimpses of him, but I like the look of Ndiaye a lot - he plays on the front foot.
We need creativity and goals, and to some extent we set up to play on the counter, and I think his pace, direct play and his footwork will suit that.
I'm not saying he shouldn't press or whatnot, rather I hope Dyche doesn't shackle him to fit the wider model, which I think he's done to Harrison to some extent.

We see that at Bournemouth, all players hard working against the ball, but then also have the pace and creativity to fast transistions. They play a bit higher line than us surely.
I see an element in him to combine both. The first goal this spring against us was examplary, they scored often like this. Semenyo won the ball 30m in front of their goal.

They do and we lose a lot of games whilst they do, so perhaps the answer is not play midfield players based on their defensive capabilities if we are poor defensively still and not scoring goals?

It was actually the opposite, ironically. He was central in the first half, on the left in the second.
Long way to go for me before I put him in the same bracket as Scott Gemmil and Mark Pembridge.

N'diaye is a very hard worker by the way it's always been a part of his game.
He does do the pressing and he also wins back the ball often.
No Reason not to play him.

I think he gets caught offside quite a bit playing off the left. Would rather see him central (in place of Doucoure).

Whatever his other shortcomings, Iwobi woukd have a go.
