2024/25 Dwight McNeil

[blackie_jones75]

I think that’s probably true - but I think it can also be true that McNeil’s one-footedness is almost satirical in its extremity.

Rather than tapping a simple short pass with his right, he’ll weave himself in-field through opposition players so that he can re-shape and find a left-footed pass.

My memory isn’t the best - but I honestly can’t remember noticing stuff like that with any other player, left or right footed.

This , can't be a$$ed looking for the clip but at one point in the second half he was in position in the middle the half way line 'D' in Wolves's half and he slowly did an anti clockwise 180 turn from his left foot instead of passing it to someone on the right

Apparently missed the game today complaining of a “sore foot”, I have it on good authority that it’s probably around 9 or 10 inches. Get well soon Dwight

 

[Trimm Trabb]

Looks like his maybe one of those standard Everton injuries where he’ll be ‘not quite ready’ for about 6 weeks.

 

[Bebeto]

Massively missing this guy...our only other creative outlet alongside ndiaye. No surprise that his last match was our big win against wolves. We need him back ASAP, but more importantly we need a suitable alternative option from the bench that can provide him with competition.

 

[Vedder]

It's a bad state we are in, when we are in need of this guy to get back shape-ish for his deadball delivery

 

[Charlie Sweet]

Sorely missed today

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Not a great footballer, but seems to be a very effective footballer. Creating “big chances” however they are defined in the stats, occasional goal, and above average corner taker. We have very few effective players, if any.

Talent/ability/trickery/pace/two footedness is a bit irrelevant if it’s not effective, which is the case for almost all of our other players.

 

[Walken]

His delivery is pretty much our only attacking outlet

 

[Nymzee]

I miss him. Only player I trust to have a pop from outside the box.

 

[dannyboy]

Classic case of his form improving while he doesn't kick a ball. If/when a new manager comes in McNeil should be one of the first we get rid of. Apart from N'Diaye that whole forward line isn't fit for purpose.

 

[f.t.r.s]

Any news on when he's back? Shocking how much we miss a one footed player with no pace but that's our lot right now

 

[EGWToffee]

He’s certainly missed in this poor side. Him and Ndiaye are out best players going forward. Without them there’s nothing.

 

[toffeemeister77]

Hopefully he's back for the next Prem game. Badly missed!

 

[jazzy]

Hopefully he's back for the next Prem game. Badly missed!

How bad are we when we think that McNeil is the answer to any question?

How bad are we when we think that McNeil is the answer to any question?

We are in desperate desperate trouble of being relegated this season because we can't score. He is one of the few with end product.
