2024/25 Iliman Ndiaye


Even me overlapping would make a difference in drawing defenders away and creating half a yard of space.

It was a wonderfully taken goal, but it ultimately comes about because both Harrison and Coleman are high up the pitch which creates a pocket of space for Doucoure to take a touch, get his head up and put the ball in the box.

Imagine the danger Ndiaye would be able to cause if we regularly worked these situations on his side of the pitch.
You were terrible at FB Bramble :lol:

Overlapping FBs in this day and age is essential. Coleman probably gave dyche palpitations for doing it
I appreciate the Dycheball draws from the last 3 matches but it isn't horses for courses with him. He'll be as cautious against weaker opposition too and it's annoying af
 

That goal against City was superb, I can only think of my names sake getting his foot round that cross. DCL, Gerrard or Salah would have hit
the corner-flag.
 

I love this lad but playing him wide is a waste of quality, play him either alongside the main striker or just behind him.
I don't feel that way at all. He is one of the best and trickiest dribblers in the league. Put him in the middle where the space is condensed and center backs have more license to rough players up and you lose a bit of that. I see the value of playing him out wide. He is great in isolation. McNeil has been productive in the middle. I think the issue is more that we lack fullbacks and a right winger that can compliment the two of McNeil and Ndiaye.

He's arguably playing the best football of his career in that position, moaners gonna moan though
