2024/25 Dwight McNeil

Fair enough, it just maddens me when professional players can't use one of their feet. Their literal full time job is practicing football, surely you can practice enough that you could occasionally make a five yard pass with your non-dominant foot or use it to cut inside once in a while.

Anyway, he played well today, scored two crackers and, at his age, probably isn't learning any new tricks.

True.

Guess it really is a "leftie" player issue as their brains just don't compute just lobbing a right foot at something.

No scientific research behind that like. I just know a lad at 5 a side who will literally not swing a right foot at it even if the goal was open. It's like phantom limb syndrome that they don't realise they have body parts on the right.
 

The definition of average.

Nice left foot but defies science how a young man his age cannot sprint.

Not good enough in the long run but for the time being he’s become quite important. A sad indictment of where we’re at.
 
Weird take on arguably our player of the season
It’s not a weird take, it’s a very valid and honest opinion.

You can tell how starved we’ve been of proper players in recent years if we’re lauding his man as a good player.

He’s fine. He’s okay. He isn’t great and there’s a reason why he plays for Everton, never had a “big” side take an interest in him or has ever been close to getting a national call up.
 

I’m thrilled the monkey is off the back.

Let’s not get carried away though. One win against a poor side doesn’t make everything else go away.
It doesn't of course, but let's have a nice night from it. Plenty of room in the dyche thread for blues gutted we got a win.

With the neverending ownership saga hopefully seeing it's conclusion and the new stadium we just have to survive this season. After all, Dwight clearly had a really tough year off the pitch so seeing him celebrate sexy goals in a toffees win needs to be enjoyed.

There won’t be a single Evertonian genuinely gutted that we got three points. Whatever bravado is played out.

I don’t subscribe to the idea that the best we can hope for is Premier League survival and I never have. There are some good players at Everton and a proper coach would get much more out of this squad than we’ve seen in the last 18 months.

But if your bar is that low than you can crack on.

We can worry about that in 8 months time as far as I'm concerned, we've come too close to obliteration off the pitch and on it and having witnessed benitez and lampard attempt to destroy us I'll take Dyche keeping us afloat until the ownership can assess the lands and re-evaluate appropriately.
