“I thought Ili’s [Ndiaye’s] performance in the first half was outstanding.
I thought he was a standout player at that time in the game. I just saw signs that he had fatigue during the game because of [recent internationals], and even the [first] goal, we just get it a yard wrong from stopping the pass going through. Ili is playing really, really well but I just don’t know if maybe the two games for his international team just took a bit more out of him and the travel as well. But he played very well, just unfortunately he couldn’t get us a goal,” says David Moyes. [EFC]
“Beto has got a great mentality. He works hard at his game all the time…he’ll keep putting himself in positions to score goals and I’m sure at some point he’ll put them in like he did last season. I don’t think he needs an arm around the shoulder too much. The lads will support him if he needs it, but I’ve seen him working hard at his game ever since he’s been here, so he’ll keep putting himself in those positions to score goals and hopefully one will go in for him,” says James Tarkowski.
