Iliman Ndiaye
Re: Iliman Ndiaye
Its mad the way 3 players will be on him and him and the ball will just pop out and he will be free.
Dont know how he does it so consistently.

Looking forward to watching him next year.
In a funny position with him though where I don't think left wing is his best position right, but it doesn't feel like he's going to be a 10 for us.
Would love to see two rapid forwards either side with him behind a top striker, but I dunno if that's realistic.

Re: Iliman Ndiaye
That would be the dream. Would need some kind of player behind him as well though. I would say Gueye except if we’re planning for the future it’s Gueye’s replacement we need there. Absolute gem of a player.brap2 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 06, 2025 9:26 am Looking forward to watching him next year.

Reckon he could play as a false 9 with two attacking wide forwards in some games?brap2 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 06, 2025 9:26 am Looking forward to watching him next year.

Would leave us the ability to play a 6 and 2 x 8s to control the midfield where needed.
Re: Iliman Ndiaye
I doubt we'll ever play it but the reason I wanted Potter was to play a 3-4-2-1 with Ndaiye as one of the dual tens.
Him and Alcaraz behind a good striker would be obscene.
As a solo ten I'm not convinced as I want someone with creative passing in that position so we can create chances for the striker rather than just ask someone to do a similar job to Doucoure.

Re: Iliman Ndiaye
I actually think LW is the best place for him, but he needs an attacking fullback to stay high and wide and offer more of a threat than Myko.brap2 wrote:Looking forward to watching him next year.

Then he can drift inside to the same space as the ten but we can still have a creative passer there.
Re: Iliman Ndiaye
Just a shame to have a slow box player really in that position. Does anyone play with that kind of player wide? They're all wanna be Salahs now aren't they road runners who shoot lots.StirlingBlue wrote: ↑Sun Apr 06, 2025 10:56 am I actually think LW is the best place for him, but he needs an attacking fullback to stay high and wide and offer more of a threat than Myko.

Re: Iliman Ndiaye
Probably better there than as a ten as it would mean you could have a three man midfield behind him, problem is we're still and probably will be for the time being be a team that needs to progress the ball via lumping the fuck out of it either into the channels or onto the big man, and Ndiaye is neither a channel runner or an arse and elbows and headers man.
Would be nice to watch tho, maybe in a cup game.
Re: Iliman Ndiaye
We need to invest heavily in at least 2 wingers this summer so will be interesting to see if he continues with him on the left next season.
