2024/25 Dwight McNeil

[TheBigIguana]

It is very simple: never put him on the left

 

[MACCA75]

Not saying he was great but it wasn’t a co-incidence that we actually played some football when we have a footballer playing at 10.

Keep him there, N’Diaye looks a threat cutting in from the left.

Played well but is so one footed

Agreed. He was dreadful against Spurs. Some players only pass back, it seemed all he wanted to do was dribble back.

But we're a completely different team when you have a guy in that spot that has even a little bit of skill.

I thought Dwight McNeil did okay today, to be fair.

DCL's goal - we haven't scored that type for a while. Clever intricate through ball.

 

[blueblood]

Moving him out wide, taking Ndiaye off and bringing Doucoure on, followed by DCL off and Beto on, has to rank as one of the worst tactical changes in football history,

 

[Neiler]

Thought he was poor myself, a player who I think we need to move on from.

Yeah, I said he did "okay" as in not brilliant, I wasn't trying to claim he put in a Maradona type performance for us.

Dyche expects his wide players to defend and protect the full back. Yesterday proved without doubt that the full back doesn’t have to defend furiously if the player in front of him makes the opponents think. They can’t bomb forward, they get pulled out of shape, they double up. Completely different game.

Move a more defensive minded and slower player back out wide at precisely the moment the other team decide to just go for it; they were throwing caution to the wind and we removed all risk for them, gave them the green light.

Not convinced on Dwight in the middle, but seeing the opposing full back getting rinsed and how much it pegged them back and avoided the usual onslaught should be so obvious.

 

[JJK]

He’s dreadful. A premier league footballer who can’t kick the ball with his right foot. Embarrassing.

13 chances created this season the most of any player in the league....
