2022/23 Dwight McNeil

[Kev The Rat]

What like you?

I mean he’s still not really good enough. Looked somewhat better the last couple of games, that’s all.

Is Gary o Neill at Bournemouth Dwight McNeills dad?

Just realised they have different names.

Same eyes though

Hello from Asia



Footballing soccer isnt for you



He'll benefit Patterson and also Mykolenko through his unselfish play (opposite of Gray) and should feed Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Ideally we splash the cash on a right forward next summer with Kean and other funds.



A ray of sunshine through a chink in the armour there Kev.

So what about my order Zat??? Number 59 please!

 

[Charlie Sweet]

Was poor today. Worrying

 

[MikeH72]

Towards the end we threatened to break away with a 4 on 2, but two of those 4 were him and Rondon so I just sat back down.

Would love having Cornet off the bench instead of McNeil. Just too slow. Needs to play in the center in games we don’t need to set up so defensively

 

[jazzy]

I was happy with his signing but the more I see how we set up and how he plays and has been so poor the stranger this signing appears.
Clearly he is completely lacking in confidence. However the way FL has turned Iwobi around means I'm not writing him off.

I thought he was anonymous when he came on yesterday. I'm sure he will prove his worth eventually, Lampard and Thelwell obviously see something in him, but, he is not the player I would have chosen to spend a large amount of our transfer budget on. Having said that, I felt the same way about Alex Iwobi, so...what do I know?

Yes, I think patience and work on the training ground are what’s needed. I’ll give Lampard the benefit of the doubt with any player, having seen with my own eyes what he’s done for Iwobi.

We’re also at a point where we’re seeing improvement in the team and we’re not needing McNeil to be a Richarlison replacement or anything crazy like that. So hopefully there will be less pressure on him, and he’ll have space to grow into his role.

 

[Eagle Eye]

McNeil is a hard working wide midfielder, not really a winger or a forward. Would probably shine in a bog standard 4-4-2, but we are never going to play that.

He is exactly the type of player to bring on to defend a lead or the type of player to start away from home against better opposition where you won't have much of the ball (e.g. City) so if this becomes his role at the club, then so be it.

A good option to have IMO.

 

[Paulie]

Was a tough game to come on in that. Not one to judge him on.

 

[Dddddd]

We’re not relying on him in any way so he’s got the time and space to (hopefully) improve

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

I thought he did ok when he come on, did what was needed doubled up well with Patterson in defence retained the ball ok and worked hard off the ball. We wasn’t chasing the game we was holding a lead.

 

[Nymzee]

He’s a good player. You’ll see.

 

[chippy1722]

He looks too scared to take anyone on.
Looks a million miles from the player who came on and scored 2 pre season.
