The arrival of Jack Grealish has seen Iliman Ndiaye switched from the left side — where he played all of last season — to the right side, which seems less natural for him.
A big issue is where Ndiaye is receiving the ball in the build-up. The Senegal international tends to drop deep, but when playing on the left, he looks much more comfortable at taking the ball onto his stronger right side and opening up the pitch, taking on multiple defenders and allowing Everton to get up the pitch.
Jack Grealish is rightly stationed out left, but on the right, Ndiaye’s ability to carry the ball is somewhat negated. He is turning onto his weaker side, and then is not a natural winger — he isn’t going to get chalk on his boots or deliver a killer cross; that is simply not his game.
