no

I'll give it another few games.

Would like to see him in a position to cause trouble!

Which position would that be mate?

I want him more central. But thats not on him. I wouldnt be questioning him whatsoever. The only bright spark tbh recently.

He has been off the boil recently.

He just....isn't doing anything right?

It is tactics and position, but he's not impacting games other than dribbling for territory.

Isn't that what the manager wants from him?

What can we expect of him under Dyche? Flair players like that stick out like a sore thumb. I can’t imagine Dyche has him working in partnerships across the pitch in triangles. Get back, work rate, get rid, win a free kick. Hoooooof.

Watch him under a different manager and watch him cook.

He is having an impact. If he wasn’t dribbling then the ball would be stuck in our half and our possession numbers would be in the low teens or single-digits.

In the list of ''problems for Everton'', Iliman Ndiaye's form/contributions isn't in the Top 100.

Wonder if the fans love for him will last when he goes another 5,6,7 games without contributing a goal or an assist.

When did he last have a shot?

Playing him like Damarai Gray.

He had a shot last game, cut inside well but unfortunately fluffed it straight at the keeper.

I think most fans can see he’s not suited to how we’re playing.

It just feels like a waste of energy projecting imagined negative futures and then reacting to them pre-emptively.

There's actual things happening in the present to be concerned about.

Also he's not playing anything like Demari Gray... Ndaiye works really fucking hard and doesn't score 30 yard worldies, the comparison is not even close.
