2025/26 Dwight McNeil

[DualityNSNO]

It shouldnt be as noticeable as it was but his first touch last night was always in the direction he wanted to go which gave him an extra yard of pace. It’s one of my gripes with the modern player how they need 2-3 touches before deciding what to do. Dwight was either confident or played with nothing to lose - either way he was brave in and out of possession hence the recognition and deserved ovation.

He's always done that, or at least mostly - his control is usually good.

Oh McNeil, McNeil! Orange Peel!
If only I could see you again!

Hello Rick…

very good for the second yesterday.

Dwight belongs to the old Everton. As does Mylenko. The new Everton requires also two new full backs. Selling Dwight will help pay for the new Everton.

the less pacey players like Dwight do have a quicker footballing brain

and he has done well whenever we have possession

which makes me wonder if we should keep him for Everton 2.0 with a better squad that plays on the front foot with more possession
like having him as a 10
instead of making him chase around

That’s pretty unfair on Osman, that.

You have to admit some of the discussion and comments about could have been found in an Isnan thread.

Just needs to do a bit of snitching and we are there.

Great first touch, good striker of the ball and does his bit defensively, most of the time. However, he is almost ridiculously one footed, lacks pace and is easily knocked off the ball. If he keeps his levels up he'd be a decent squad player, no more than that I afraid, not if we want to be a side which is regularly qualifying for Europe.

Not always thrilled by his presence on the pitch but chuffed that he was able to have notable match performance, as he seems like a genuine and grounded human. Also I know it pales to other hardships in the world but I get why being emotionally invested in a move for it collapse can be jarring, so good on Dwight to work out his feelings on the pitch. Hopefully he can build on Tuesday's performance

I think it’s commendable that some blues can separate footy from humanity. There is obviously a lot more to his life than kicking a ball - he’s absolutely gash at that, but clearly a very decent humanitarian, I love that.
