Should be easy.

I think he’s the de facto box crasher wherever he plays (left, right, or centre).

Grealish and Dibling are more indirect players and are here to do the hard work of holding up and carrying the ball. Ndiaye can do some of that when needed but he’s now free to pop up in the penalty area and get on the end of things now that he’s not responsible for every phase of scoring a goal.

There's signs he'll be taking a leap so large it might be his last year here!

This lads gonna score a hatful this year. Already benefiting from having fellow footballers in the team and not being the sole creator. With them in behind the CF, it’s not possible to mark them all out the game so he’ll get more space

Can't think of a player we've had recently who looks in trouble, couple of players around him, twisting and turning yet he still emerges with the ball.

Love him on the right.

Has all the right instincts to get in the box and score goals whilst still doing his mad dribbles.

Brilliant player. Going to have a huge season.

The doom merchant in me is already stressing that we will be priced out/gazumped over Grealish and this lad is getting a mega-bucks move somewhere next summer.

Friedkins out :lol: :lol: :lol:

Now he's not having to take on 4 players to get us 50 yards up the pitch then it's pretty handy to have him finding space constantly on the right after Grealish does his magic

Yeah the right side seems to really suit him when most of us felt like that was him being pushed out of position. I also think that the presence of Grealish really helps him too - previously he was our only player you had to worry about beating a man and creating a dangerous situation and now we've got 1 on either side it's harder to defend against.

Really hope we hang on to him for a long time as he's a joyous footballer to watch.

On both sides ideally.

Must feel nice arriving at the back post to score compared to receiving the ball halfway inside his own half and trying to dribble past an entire defence on his own to help us get up the pitch.

Definitely going to be a breakthrough year for him now he's got some playmates to create space for him and do some of the work.
