Possibly the worst take ever.
McNeil played several seasons under Dyche. When he came through he was regarded as very talented and followed closely by top clubs. But he did not improve as expected. If anything, he did worse season by season.
There was some excitement when he signed for Everton, but we did not need to see much of him to conclude that he was very raw and that he was in desperate need of some proper coaching.
McNeil went from scoring five times in 100 league matches for Dyche. After 4-5 months coaching by Lampard and his staff, he scored 5 times in Dyche's first 15 matches as Everton manager. Looking nothing like the McNeil that played for Burnley.
If it is Dyche that gets the best the best out of McNeil, why did he wait all these years? Why didn't he do it as Burnley manager?
