Probably doubled his value in just 8 games this season, total baller!
In a team full of average shite he stands out like a sore thumb as being someone with genuine talent.

Re: Iliman Ndiaye
Such a great signing already, whoever is responsible for it deserves major credit.
Re: Iliman Ndiaye
He's the polar opposite of Jack Harrison... Every time he gets the ball he goes at defenders and he knows exactly what he's doing whilst the defender has no idea.
Harrison goes at the defender having no idea what he's doing yet the defender does and easily takes it off him.
I genuinely would hate to be up against Ndaiye, even if you had him in your pocket all game he'd still be fucking running at you in the 88th minute believing he'll get you this time. Must be a nightmare to play against.
His defensive work was pretty good yesterday too, I noticed him tracking back loads and putting in some good interceptions.

Re: Iliman Ndiaye
I thought Harrison did well yesterday, also the sort of player Young will appreciate playing behind.Not saying he's in Ndiaye's league but he let no one down.AjaxAndy wrote: ↑Sun Oct 20, 2024 4:54 pm He's the polar opposite of Jack Harrison...

Dyche does have to get Ndiaye on the ball more with licence to run in behind DCL. Need to make him an option for those one on ones, running along the line. With DCLs link up play, McNeil with his head up, there is defintely an understanding developing there between the 3. DCL should just sign a fucking contract with that sort of service and BMD on the horizon tbh. Surely has to be his best option right now.

Re: Iliman Ndiaye
Harrison is just the guy that goes about his business, plays for the team and nothing else. He has enough quality to be competitive in games and provides support and energy wherever it is needed on the pitch. He is a fantastic squad player but one that we need to upgrade on if we are to move onwards and upwards in the league.
Ndiaye is a different class to Harrison. I always try and look at the quality of any attacking player by how many times they are tackled/lose possession - and for him, it’s a rare occurrence. His first touch, dribbling, pass is all on point. He looks forward and tries to effect the game. And he also scores goals which is a massive plus.
As I have said before, we need a quality attacking full back though to get the very best out of him. It’s not a slight on Myko, who is very able, but once we have that, the left flank will be very tasty indeed.

It's hopefully no surprise that Ashley Young's improvement and increased forward runs and support play (as well as James Garner's) has resulted in much better performances from Harrison, and the team overall.
It's good to see instead of Harrison with ball vs 3, it's been Harrison+Young+McNeil vs 2. He's been unlucky not to have at least a few assists along with his pre-assists in recent matches, and has been the better option not played in more than once.

Re: Iliman Ndiaye
He's great, fast becoming my favorite player in the squad, but come on there's no way he gets a better song than Heeeeee's Brazilian......
Re: Iliman Ndiaye
He will be a cult hero for us I can tell. Hopefully we can match his quality over the coming transfer windows.
