2025/26 Dwight McNeil

[sdk]

I love him. Not the best athlete but an excellent footballer. Not the most pace but a keen eye for a pass. When he’s playing he’s in on the playmaking and when he’s not playing he’s out foiling the plans of international crime syndicates (I’m guessing). All hail.

Our right side was completely paralyzed—couldn’t get forward and got slaughtered defensively. But Moyes decided to throw in the towel on attacking and just had McNeil chasing Lewis Hall around all game.

….you clearly missed Hall being completely bamboozled by McNeil in the lead up to the 2nd goal, it’s worth a watch

That flick in the build up to Beto's goal - pretty special

Still can’t be doing with him. So slow, weak and half arsed.

You know that the internet exists, Joey? Are you really sure you want to maintain that?

To me - Dwight has always performed best down the centre of the pitch no pace to beat a man never a winger ...now !

Yes, but you said he never played on the wing for Burnley?

He often scored down the middle I remember him scoring v us at Turf Moor

Good management from Moyes in regards to him.

Am sure Dwight feels like he's got a point to prove.

Thought he played well yesterday,that first touch from him was sumptuous.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I don't think he is a winger. He will never play centrally under Moyes in all liklihood but I feel like the majority of his good work comes when he drifts there or plays there.

Joey, there's a big difference between "he often played down the middle" and "he never played on the wing"

Never a winger - never had the pace back then ...

Oh, he used to be sad,
But now he makes us glad,
He stayed and showed his class,
The best we've ever had!

Cheer up, Dwight McNeil,
Oh what can it mean,
To be the best winger,
That Everton has seen!

Oh, he runs down the wing,
And makes the Gwladys sing,
He'll cross it on a dime,
Dwight McNeil every time!

Cheer up, Dwight McNeil,
Oh what can it mean,
To be the best winger,
That Everton has seen!
