2024/25 Dwight McNeil

[Osamabindiesel]

So the less he plays the closer he becomes to prime Messi then.

If we ignore the one footedness, tardiness on the ball, lack of pace, inability to play the ball ahead of someone he can clearly see and focus only on the occasional blammo - he's the best player in the world, right next to Broja.

Nobody is calling him Messi. At least I hope not. He has been one of our better players. If anything the opposite of what you said is true and people are dismissing him entirely as you have here.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Some people have said we've missed his set pieces, which is probably true, and I think we've missed wide options both in the starting line up and from the bench. I think your use of the word "massively" is not really reflective of the general tone in this thread. I haven't seen a single post suggesting he should be the first name on the teamsheet or anything like that, just a few people saying it would be good to have him back.

He is just dismissing other people's opinions with his rhetoric. Carry on.

Regardless of his (many) shortcomings, the lad weighs in with goals, something Harrison and Lindstrom do not. Harrison and Lindstrom both help out with defensive duties, but so does McNeil. On that basis alone, his return should be welcomed.

Looking forward to seeing what he can do in an attacking team. Like all the others, it should allow him to express himself with a freedom not seen in too many years. I reckon he’ll do well.

Anyone know when he might be back?

Anyone know when he might be back?

I think i read somewhere that it would be April sometime

One of our best players through the dark days of the last couple of seasons yet still gets the dogs abuse on here. Mad how a group of middle aged men will pick on one of our young blues like this. Must be an agenda.

Seriously mate. How do you work out that everyone here is middle aged?

He's not a winger FFS

He's not a winger FFS

He is though....not a traore/lennon/Walcott style winger, more of a kilbane style wide midfielder

Save us from our own set pieces Dwight.

I wonder if he could do a job in midfield, almost two 8s ahead of one sitting midfielder. Garner could sit, McNeil inside left, Alcatraz inside right. Would then allow us to play Ndiaye on one flank and someone else on the other either side of a striker.

Maybe if Ossie Ardiles was picking the team.

Yeah, teams would love walking through that midfield.

At last...the longest non serious knee injury ever. Let's hope that he gets up to speed quickly because we need him.

Curious to see what Moyes does with him. Will he shove him wide or central?
