2025/26 Dwight McNeil

[Marius57]

After the first few months of this season, didn’t think we would see him in an Everton shirt again and then when we did, he was fairly poor.

But the last 2 games have been much better and he has had a real impact. Hope he keeps it up and gets some consistency with that.

Happy to be proven wrong about him if he maintains this for the rest of the season.

If Moyes is he’ll bent on playing a 4231 them I’d give home a go at the 10 and drop KDH back with Garner. Harsh on Gana for sure but would like to at least see

He played half dozen games in that position last season and was terrible. He’s had one good game all season v the worst team in the league. You’re getting slightly ahead of yourself, what next a new deal for him

Absolutely not in your world lads. You made your minty bed so lie in it, you don’t get to enjoy anything McNeil does for Everton.

Tarkowski Goal and McNeil masterclass, a large subset are quiet this morn.

I don't understand what the plan is here. Club and you'd imagine Moyes were happy to sell him in January despite the Grealish injury and now he's playing regularly again. I think he's decent enough to be a squad player but it feels like he's still open to wanting a fresh start somewhere else so I'm unsure why we aren't investing more in George and Dibling who arguably have more of a future at the club than he does.

With how this cuts it makes it bizarre and pointless to have the first part, other than so we can post "a hug from Seamus", as if it's a reward or something, like Dwight's a dog.

Sentimental fc we will never changes it’s embarrassing. But Everton know a lot of
Fans will lap it up like lap dogs.

George Won’t be staying and i think
Any younger players we go for in the summer if Moyes is still here will turn us down,
As they know they won’t be getting games under him

Nice words by Tarks

Tarkowski proud of McNeil as he details winger's training ground response

Dwight McNeil looked set to leave Everton on transfer deadline day but he has won his place back in the side and on Tuesday produced his best performance of the season

He was one of our most important players under Dyche, then Moyes came in whilst he was injured, struggled at the end of last season. Then in the summer Grealish and KDH came in and he was a bench player... that's a quick turnaround and must have affected him.

The support he got after the failed move seems to have inspired him, training and performances improved as a result. Great to see him getting back in to form!

Why wasn't this the case when George signed?

I think the plan though with the George deal was that he would be staying. McNeil not going in Jan has perhaps changed that but with the latters deal ending soon he either needs to be sold in the summer or given a new contract. I'm just worried that long term this ends badly despite in the short term he's doing well thus far.

He came on loan when it looked like a winger in McNeil was out the door and probably told by the manager he would be getting plenty of minutes.

We only have an option to buy him and we can agree with Chelsea, but he can say no.
Ends badly for who?

So no young players are going to join Everton because Dwight McNeil still plays for them? Not sure this logic is holding up.

Was thinking more about. Dibling,
Aznou, Rhol. Alcaraz and let’s have it right if Beto and Barry were the same level,
Beto would be in the team 80% of the time.

If he was getting gametime here he'd stay.
