2024/25 Dwight McNeil

Completely agree. Used to be loads of posts about how he used to just stroll around and hide in the big games. Not sure where this love-in is coming from. Had his moments but was definitely not good enough for us to be looking back fondly at his time here.

It’s that thing about set pieces, isn’t it? When you’re struggling, having someone who can take a decent free kick or corner gives you a bit of hope to cling on to, and they get praised more than their really worth.

Trouble with him was he didn’t do much beside the set pieces.

The advantage he has and we saw it on sat is that he comforatble drifting to the left wing, especially as Ndiaye likes to cut inside. Its far harder for full backs to pick you up if you drift between the CB/FB space rather than appearing from a conventional winger position.

100%, he also can drop deeper into the engine room to help the press there was also that steal the steal Vs Onana that came from the press.
