It's always left footed players in general that people say are too one footed.

I can't really think of any right footed players that play with it as exclusively as McNeil does with his left foot.
I get this and yes it pads out the stats so in isolation it's easy to say he's done his job as a winger.
But we can't base a players performance and what's acceptable by saying "from a stationary position he put 3 good balls in".
His performances was absolutely diabolical apart from that. Shoved off the ball countless times, turning in circles like a dog chasing it's own tail, over hitting passes, under hitting passes, making passes where passes were never on to make. Missing out on any dual where it's 50-50.
He's dreadful and no matter how dreadful some of these players are (and there's plenty) I think it's fair as a fan to still have standards of what's passable as a performance and contributing to the overall pattern of the team.
The players certainly don't have standards I'd want to see from an Everton team so maybe it's just me and I'm overly harsh of him (which I've always admitted I probably come across as overly harsh, I just think he's a dreadful footballer)

I get what you are saying, I mean Giggs was very left footed but he could use his right, Dwight has a real issue with it and I just think its odd for a kid that's come through Utds academy tbh.

I agree that's a generic criticism of left footed players but it's his whole body shape, like he literally cannot turn or dribble on his right. He definitely is definitely one-footed to a fault.
I think that’s probably true - but I think it can also be true that McNeil’s one-footedness is almost satirical in its extremity.
Rather than tapping a simple short pass with his right, he’ll weave himself in-field through opposition players so that he can re-shape and find a left-footed pass.
My memory isn’t the best - but I honestly can’t remember noticing stuff like that with any other player, left or right footed.
Was generally as poor as I've seen him last night, but, the fact is we need those deliveries

There’s the old adage that in grassroots there’s so few left footed players that right footed players have to learn to use their left where a left footed player is always shoehorned into a position. No idea if it’s true and Andre Gomes was the most two footed player I’ve ever seen and he was absolutely useless so I’m not sure it means much.

Absolutely spot on. I agree with every word. Add into this Harrison and Doucoure and that’s a huge part of where the teams at. The three of them are utterly dire footballers. We actually won that game despite them. Just think of how far ahead we could be with some of the players we’ve sold to cover the gross mismanagement of the club.
he’s saving his best for sat
These are the players we're counting on for goals and assists and knitting things together.
It's dark days supporting Everton it really is, football wise on the eye and the lack of quality on the ball throughout the squad is just grim. My lad is 16 and I honestly don't know how he conjures up any enthusiasm to support us.
Fingers crossed mate
Better to be one footed than one legged.

Like Doucoure, a necessary evil as long as Dyche is the manager. I am convinced if we get any sort of result on Saturday, it will be because McNeil hits a belter or drops one perfectly on a blue head.
