2022/23 Dwight McNeil

[andy4efc]

No agreed, but he’s been the worst of the three by a distance.

He never seems involved in the game, then when he does get the ball he’s either bullied off or loses it.

Could say the exact same for Gray though mate. Can’t stand Gray. Always wants to be the hero, never does the simple thing. Does not have a football brain in the slightest.

One thing I’ll say for all three is that they have had nothing in the middle.

 

[navidson]

A truly baffling signing that eradicates most of the goodwill generated towards Thelwell and Lampard

 

[Deckard2049]

Should have signed Cornet…

 

[Goat]

That's my point really.

I understand he's low risk in terms of age, appearances, English...

But some alarm bells with his signing because I just can't work out what the plan is with him but then I'm sure the much more qualified people in football at the club will know.

He doesn't look an out an out winger to me, and if he isn't that, he'll be given a more central role but then we're light on the wings. Weird.

Hes got a wand of a left foot, if hes given time and space, not much of that around in this league tho.

Not gonna be writing the lad off, but consider me bemused for now.

 

[Mozza1987]

Least he can put a decent cross in. Gray and Gordon are pathetic at this. Still starts for me.

 

[grandjoeblue]

Well, he can't really show off his crossing ability if he never has anyone to cross the ball to.

Look at his statistics for Burnley with the tallest strikers in the league. He's utterly shocking and a terrible signing.

 

[Paul Rideout]

he’s not a wide forward.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Well, he can't really show off his crossing ability if he never has anyone to cross the ball to.

This is a very valid point.

Whipping balls in to Gordon against Koulibaly last week.

One thing I’ll say for all three is that they have had nothing in the middle.

Only reason I’d start with Gray ahead is that he has a bit of pace, not much else. McNeil just looks so incredibly slow.

But if we had options I’d have 2 on the bench at least. To go into the season with those three being our main wingers is criminal

 

[atypicalusername]

Nervous performance from him. Hopefully can step on.

 

[riddick]

I have no idea why he's on the left. Have him cutting in on the right, I think it would work a LOT better.

 

[Telford-Feb-85]

Give him time in his correct position with a striker on the pitch.

 

[Furey1878]

Look at his statistics for Burnley with the tallest strikers in the league. He's utterly shocking and a terrible signing.

His stats for Burnley show he is a good crosser of the ball, they also show that Burnley had some terrible finishers.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Well, he can't really show off his crossing ability if he never has anyone to cross the ball to.

Now now common sense.

 

[caughtbythefuzz]

Pretty uninspiring two games. I'm sure he will improve.
