Yeah I agree completely, Niakhate was a good player but you just knew a mistake was around the corner. I think Niakhate in particular has been made to look ordinary compared to our current 2, but he was definitely better than the ones we were promoted with. His throw in's kept us up no doubt about that.Niakhate was ok.
Like Mangala, he isn’t good enough for a top 10 Premier League side.
He just wasn’t physical enough, and he always seemed to have a mistake in him.
I think Mangala was top class at ball retention and not much else, in a side that doesn't prioritise keeping the ball he couldn't impact games - even stranger he is now playing under Dyche!
