2024/25 Dwight McNeil

[Drico]

That pass for the goal was almost so pinpoint it nearly hit the defender on the heel.

Talk about threading a needle.

I’m a fan of Dwight and I’d love to see how Moyes will improve his form. As far as that pass to Doucoure being lucky why couldn’t it be perfectly placed between the defender’s legs and deliciously weighted to Doucs? He looked composed and sure of himself, not lucky.

 

[Cameron Manning]

I've genuinely never got the hate. He's one of our most creative players and works very hard.

I think some fans vastly under rate McNeil I think he’s got a good football brain and is a good team player and will be a valuable part of the team squad remembering that substitutes these days are big a part of team planning.

 

[DanB90]

He’s got 2 more assists this season than our next highest assister (Gueye) in under half the games.

I've genuinely never got the hate. He's one of our most creative players and works very hard.

He started off very slow at Everton (no pun intended) and I think he’s miscast as a purely wide player. Sometimes people can’t get past first impressions.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

Not only will he naturally improve under Moyes’ style of play, but he’ll get some rest instead of being on the pitch 90’ every single match.

….wonder if we’ll start scoring from corners again

Just finding an Everton player would be a massive upgrade atm

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Quality when needed. Underrated gem.

@kev just watched the latest Everton video and you're correct, 100% he's looking for Doucoure

Yeah, that shows it from a much better angle than the TV footage.

Brilliant stop by Dwight on the offensive advance, heads up awareness, and perfectly weighted pass to Doucs. So glad to see him back.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Not like better set pieces with Tarks, Branners and O'Brien are a bad thing either

 

[hetion]

Screams Moyes player to me stylistically. Does everything he's been setting us up to do - work hard and transition fast.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

I’ve been noticing O’Brien is consistently setting himself up in front of the keeper and moving around to block his view. No keeper’s taller than him. Makes it more favourable for him to nick the headers, too.
