2022/23 Dwight McNeil

[jonnyg]

He needs to be playing tucked in off the right for me with Patterson behind him offering energy up and down. I think you lose any threat he has by sticking him on the left.

Hasn't that been done a couple times this season without much effect though? His two good attacking performances have been on the left. Unless Lampard needs a defensive shift I don't think his best position is on the right.

I think a diamond would be better going forward with Maupay/DCL/Gray/Gordon up top since we're so toothless attacking from the wings. McNeil would fit nicely on either side of the diamond with Iwobi at the tip.

I watch him and I think Siggurdson #2.

Does the odd good thing and is hard working for the team, but doesn't look like he'll dictate a game or worry opponents for 90 minutes.

Don't think he in Siggurdson's league to be honest mate, but, I can see where you are coming from.

I think his best game for us was against Leeds when he played off the right with Patterson behind (I think...) - I recall Burnley fans saying similar that he was most effective off the right (sort of like a cut price james rodriguez)

I do think he is a player that has something about him but just isn't quick enough in the modern game to be an out and out wide man.

He looks as if he lifts his right foot to pass he will fall over

Yeah, poor man's Siggy ain't a good look really.

I think there's been some flashes of the dribbling james had to makeup for his slowness but his passing's pretty hit or miss so far. Never get why he insists on trying to beat his man for pace when they've already caught up to him too.

He is never a winger - Burnley never played him wide......

They did Joey, but I think it was mainly as a Left Centre midfielder, rather than a Left Attacking Forward.

I like the boy, hes got a great left foot.

Yep never a winger though..

 

[maccavennie]

He's that ineffective they put him rb and Patterson in front of him.

Abysmal player

 

[Tony101]

Nothing player.

 

[Bristol Blue]

Offers nothing. Proper panic buy

 

[hashbike]

Nothing player. 5 yr contract!

 

[GoldenToffee]

The club continues to make horrific choices in the transfer market. Dwight McNeil, my gosh. Worst of the worst.
