2024/25 Dwight McNeil

[Azza]

Didn't even notice his 2nd attempt went out for a throw in!!

Hahahha

 

[toffee82]

Offered nothing today.
Would have helped Harrison the other side if Brighton had something to worry about on McNeill's side of the pitch.

McNeil should look at videos of baines and peanuts, thats how you run up and down the left wing. The lad can't even touch the ball with his right.

Yet he’s now our starting right back

 

[ToffeeTim]

He's the player I would leave out next week for Ndiaye

Other than striking the ball half decent from range, I'm not sure what else he offers. He's just far too slow to play as an attacking option.

All 4 attackers were really poor today but he was certainly worse than Harrison out of the two wide players.

Slow not just in terms of overall speed but also his decision making. Always feel like he's on the verge of wasting possession as well.

This team is crying out for a couple of attacking midfielders who can build attacks and put the opposition under sustained pressure. God knows how many years it's been now since Pienaar left but it still feels like we never replaced him.

I like him but he's not Robben. I just don't get how a coach has never ever coached it out of him to use his right foot. He makes MILLIONS a year and uses just one leg? Come on.

He is never ever dropped. Harrison is never tried on the left

 

[teppic]

Surely his shot that hit the post should have been called back for offside? Doucoure looked yards off when he got the ball.

It was.

It was.

Ah, I've missed all the footy today. Just caught motd, and it wasn't clear at all that it was offside.

Think it was Doucoure initially offside,for about the 23rd occasion in that first half

Yes, but McNeil didn't know that at the time. His attempts to score were scandalous. It's no wonder we struggle when our forwards put so much needless pressure on our defence to be perfect. This fella's lack of conviction needs calling out. Again, another one who can never be dropped, it seems.

 

[RomanReigns]

Even though doucoure was offside how did he miss an open goal

 

[Tel001]

Useless on the counter as he's too slow, main offender for slowing down/stopping any attack or momentum as he has to turn infield and go backwards to avoid using his obviously artificial right foot.

Utter yard dog of a player

While I agree he slows counters … doucs is by far and away the biggest hindrance to our attack… can’t pick a pass, can’t dibble, constantly offside and has no link up ability.

Embarrassing isn't it. League two players have better weak foots
