2025/26 Dwight McNeil

McNeil is a wide midfielder not a wide forward so he fitted in with Dyches 4411 system but is a fish out of water with Moyes 4231 system. Its really as simple as that
Sad if true. If we're that wooden in set-up no wonder we don't get goals ( even allowing for the sitters missed by B&B, weekly ).

Isn’t the most important factor that Moyes has played him on the right and he is - as you say - a wide player, but definitely not an inverted wide player?

Successful inverted wingers all have the balance to be able to go on the outside as well as the inside. Dwight doesn’t. Asking Dwight to play on the right is like asking a giraffe to walk a tightrope. It’s not the lack of effort that’s gonna kill him, it’s the fact that nothing about him is equipped for it.
 
If Dwight McNeil is ever the answer, we’re asking totally the wrong questions.

He won’t do a job for us, he’s been given multiple opportunities and thrown them back in our faces, and he ain’t getting any younger, so bomb squad him.

He shouldn’t even be in the matchday squad imo, he’s crap.

Is anyone getting younger Nath?

Same i have respect for the lad becuase has been a good player for us and was a big part of us staying up. But everton as a club have moved on and he has not raised his game to that level. A move is best for him and the club

I think that’s harsh. He was one of our better players in the 2 seasons prior to this one. I do accept though that his cameos this season have been disappointing.
 
If he left us where would he go?
No top half team would want him.
He's an excellent championship player but his lack of pace and inability to use his right foot at all means he's best moving on.
 

With Grealish and Ndiaye now gracing the team - it's hard to remember that he was one of our most creative players - but he was.

Hasn't come back from his injury with the same application - maybe he will still have a part to play during Afcon.

Those systems are incredibly similar! Honestly think people go way over the top about formations.

Moyes doesn’t rate him and he’s been half arsed and poor (which is nothing entirely new for McNeil) when he’s had a chance.
