2022/23 Dwight McNeil

[maccavennie]

I’m convinced people have never seen good players at this club

tbf I can't slag anyone off who gives him motm, it's just this is where we are now that's the standard. It was another 6/10 performance which is better than the likes of Iwobis 5/10 or Grays 5/10 whwn he plays.

There's all a bit "meh".

Worked hard enough, laid one on a plate for DCL and really should have slipped him in 2nd half. Just a lot of his play lacks any kind of skill, I think he's a piss poor player looking half decent because those around him are piss poor

If Dwight had pace he would be a top player, if he could use his right foot then a top top player

 

[Shibbywiggles]

He did mate but my point still stands, he's a Championship level player at best. That's not me slagging him off, that's me being honest.

I think he’s a premier league player, just a lower/mid table one which is where he’s always been

Put it this way, if we manage to stay up, he’s one of the last ones that needs replacing in our lineup but again I get that all that means is he’s one of the best of a bad bunch

If we had any semblance of an attacking setup he'd be a great left (wing) back when we're on the front foot - seems defensively aware enough and has a good engine and a good cross on him.

 

[Kantareller]

Tries 100% so I don't mind him in this current setup. Average player at best nonetheless.

 

[AirMo]

I really like him. He is a bit limited but he has been one of the better players recently and he looks like one of the main players putting in the effort needed to try and win matches.

I could see that yeah, like what Chelsea used to do with James and Alonso

 

[PKwalnuts]

The only one in blue with half a decent footballing brain. Getting better for us with each game, and I hope he continues to give us an outlet and attack like we need him to in the last few games

 

[Cels]

Played well against Leicester City did Dwight McNeil. Loads of energy and direct play.

 

[Baggzio]

Biggest compliment i could pay him tonight is when he was driving forward and getting within striking distance i really sat up because you know the lad can slot one. Dont get that with many Everton players. In fact none. He really looked like he wanted a win tonight.

Also love that he actually tries to shoot often. So many of our players, especially Iwobi, try to walk the ball into the net and constantly try stupid passes.

McNeil always drives forward and will have a go. He’s like Gray that way but with McNeil he’ll actually pass as well when there’s an option, if Gray wasn’t so selfish all the time trying to score Hollywood goals he’d actually be something sort of useful on the other side of McNeil.

 

[Baggzio]

I say this often with McNeil but we got a good deal on him. Always puts a great shift in, has been our best and basically only attacking threat since Dyche came in and now looking better with Calvert Lewin in the team, an actual striker.

I think it’s a testament that we sold Gordon for £45m and McNeil is better than him and less than a year older. He’s a good lad, can see him being part of the squad for a long time, even if we improve.

 

[Duncan’s Pigeon Loft]

Played very well I thought. Worked his arse off defensively and got us in the front foot with the ball. If he can learn when to release it instead of ‘chewing the ball’ I think there’s a player there. Saying that he needs options when he runs and most of our players are no where when it comes to making runs and supporting.

My MOM though

 

[Mathieubleucoyb]

Too slow and a terrible Richarlison replacement. We need someone that can win us games on the left. He isn’t it. The LW position is for match winners.

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

The only one in blue with half a decent footballing brain.

In the last ten minutes he was picking up the ball and getting himself into lots of open space in the final third. He was the guy I wanted distributing when we got into the final third. He was looking to make things happen.

The bolded is mind-blowing, it's like one of those where Australia is wider than the moon, or Atlanta is closer to Detroit than to Miami, or Belgium is bigger than Canada.
