Iliman Ndiaye

[Bumble]

Banned for the next two Senegal games, for "unsporting behaviour towards the referee", which presumably was when Ndiaye was rubbing his fingers together to imply bribery for the penalty...

He wasn't wrong though was he.

When’s this fella back from the Afcon??

Hasn't been great, but I think we're seeing the absence of Grealish. Ndiaye was being asked to do everything creative and we need some better balance.

Similarly, I think we maybe could've eased Gueye back in a little too. Especially given how well we did at Villa with Garner/Armstrong/Rohl.

Yeah, Ndiaye was overused today with little options, and Gana seemed proper sluggish.

[Shogun]

He's way too deep. Almost getting to Dyche levels use of him. Get him up the pitch. It's great he contributed so much defensively but with a CB at fullback and his quality then he doesn't have to be that selfless.

I dont think Branthwaite made any overlaps for him, which was probably the directive, but really how harshly can we judge our wingers when they have zero pass or movement from any of our fullbacks all season to give them space to run in to?

Big 2nd half change last 2 games was KDH playing up the pitch. Huge difference both games and gives wingers and Barry someone to play with. First half he was picking the ball up of Tarks from 5 yards, which Garner or Gana can do all day long. Totally wastes him.

[Toddacelli]

Yeah it’s a different game these days, players are far less individuals and the relationships on the pitch are critical to doing their roles well.
