2025/26 Dwight McNeil


I thought it odd he didn't see a minute. He made by far the most chances out of anybody these past few seasons whether you rate him or not. KDH didn't seem to have the magic in him tonight so it seemed natural for Dwight to come on at some point. He had a disaster of a preseason to be fair but so did everyone else.

Already a threadbare squad and you want to sell even more players.

I think maybe you should somehow try to connect your brain with your fingers.

He can play one position only and is third choice there. The manager didn't even feel that he's good enough to come in and make an impact against a poor promoted side last night. If that £10m we could maybe get for him goes to add an extra few million to a couple of transfers we're in discussion for it would be brilliant business.
 
Dwight should have been the left back. Some people hate him for reasons that escape me, but he's a constant threat on set pieces and interceptions, sparking counter attacks, putting the ball exactly where it needs to be, from all over the pitch. He can score from range and he plays intelligently. He gives you everything you need for 90 minutes, but some people just don't care unless you're the fastest person on the pitch.

The best lineup would have had McNeil at left back and Garner at right back with O'Brien next to Tarkowski. Tim would have been on the bench with KDH and Garner behind Alcaraz. If you don't think Grealish is ready to start with Ndiaye on the right, then be bold and play Barry on the right.

I'm so desperate for news that I'm looking everywhere for information, and some people are saying Dwight McNeil was the leak via friends like Still Ryan. Someone posted here that he knew who it was and guaranteed they wouldn't be sacked, which makes sense if it's a player and not staff, so I can't help thinking this might have legs. Why else would McNeil, who was so productive after he returned from injury last year and who's goal involvements were being touted by the club, not see the pitch? If true, here's hoping he's been punished enough and brings some creativity on Sunday.

Absolute nonsense


He can play anywhere on the left, behind the striker and right wing (though not that well on the last one)

He has been our most creative player for years and a great set piece taker

After ten pages of wild made up rubbish about why Moyes dropped/hates/fell out/regretted buying Aznou we should stop trying to second guess why Moyes didn’t bring him on… maybe he had a knock, you don’t know, but he played lots last season when fit and was even given minutes when he clearly wasn’t match fit by Moyes end of season

£10m is a pathetic price for a player as good as McNeil and writing anyone off for anything after one game which they didn’t even feature in is madness after being our most productive player

Absolutely cretinous management if true, given the horror show that ensued - truly foot-gun stuff.
 
Really can't afford to lose Dwight at this point. Him.and Garner cover a couple of positions - as has been pointed out.

If Moyes doesn't rate him for some reason...but he's also been out of the first team a while due to injury - not up to speed ?
