Pretty cool for him to be the last scorer at Goodison and the first at Hill Dickinson.

Looks comfortable enough on the right too. Has a better sense of when to crash in at the back post to find a scoring chance than anyone else we can play over there.

He's that player who you can chuck anywhere across the midfield and he'll offer you something. Loses the ball a lot and I think he always will but he's so dangerous that you have to love the lad

I can see lots of moaning in future when Moyes subs him off but it’s absolutely the right thing to do when we have a lead as he’s much better in tight spaces than he is in open spaces to run

Think this fella is just too good that you can put him on the right and he’d still be great.

If Dibling does come in, I assume he'll shift again to the middle? Unless Grealish ends up there.

Grealish said after the game that N'Diaye can play in all 3 forward positions.
He then said that he prefers to play on the left or middle (but would play on the right if needed, although he doesn't like it).

If Dibling is right or centre, then I think it's clear what we play wen all 3 are on the pitch.
(For what it's worth, I think we'll only ever see 2 of them at a time though).

Imagine N'Diaye coming on as an impact sub, for Grealish.

Stuff of RB/CB nightmares.

I preface it by saying I didn't see the game and was frantically following text updates but did he go off injured?
BBC text said he went straight down the tunnel holding his hamstring. We cant afford to lose this guy or Grealish for any protracted period of time.

It did look as though he was holding his leg to me.

Think he was brought off for precaution though, he returned at the end of the game for interviews and appeared to be moving ok.

He was walking around the pitch in his flip flops, I don't think they let him do that if he's an injury risk

Fingers crossed it was just a bit of tightness rather than a pull.

A few of the first XI had cramp. Am guessing Illy was feeling the same.

Agreed.

Was thinking more in 2-3 windows time when we have proper depth, after Grealish signs an extension and we have another star RW battling with Dibling for minutes.

And 2 highly capable right backs...
