2024/25 Dwight McNeil

He does get a lot of unfair stick because he is slow and one footed. He is a very good player imo. Statistically well rated too and for good reason. Does both sides of the ball well and has great close control and a great left foot

He frustrates hugely but most did under Dyche, I still wanted to see what he'd be like under a manager who actually didn't instruct players to only look forward when the backpass isn't on.

95% of the stick he gets is purely because of his lack of speed, but hes one of only two players we have who can generate a goal out of nothing, and I dont think its a coincidence we have struggled to score so much in the matches hes missed.

Apart from the last 2 matches
massively overrated imo
He’s had a lot of very poor performances, including the last 4 starts before his injury. Doesn’t really score goals 2/3 a season and gets assists because he takes every free kick and corner and we have been set up as a set piece team for 2 years.
 

Such a shame about this injury. Took some time, but he has become our best player outside of Illiman. We desperately miss his goal threat from outside the box.

Please define "massively overrated". Under Dyche we had 14 goals in 13 matches with him. We had 1 goals in the 6 matches he missed(we also didnt score in any match he missed last season). I personally think hes better than Doucoure but to each their own.

Doucoure is pants
But McNeil is not a player we kick on with
I’f we want to kick on and try and be like a Villa, in the next few years you need better players than McNeil
I heard a pod a few months back liking him to sheedy 🤣🤣🤣
