2025/26 Dwight McNeil



….liked how he tucked inside lots and wasn’t stuck out on the wing. It meant he did lots of valuable work behind the ball, intercepting and blocking. Very good assist and also played a part in the lead up to the 2nd goal.

Delighted to see him getting back to decent form and I can see him playing ahead of Alcaraz when Grealish returns this week. I don’t know if there is transfer interest in him but Moyes won’t want to lose him until late in the window and the club can hold out for a fee in the region of £20m.

He was poor first couple of sub appearances but getting better.

Probably explains why Myko looked up against it all game and the majority of their crosses came from that side

….Mykolenko looked far less exposed than Patterson, they certainly got in behind him less but they did throw an extraordinary amount of crosses in the box. The CBs were magnificent dealing with them.

Worth looking at McNeil’s part in the 2nd goal as it might have even been more impressive than his assist. He again won a valuable defensive tackle outside of our box and made that pass to Barry on the half-way line but he then ran the length of the pitch and when Garner found Barry running into the `Forest area, McNeil was actually the nearest Everton player.

He has plenty of detractors but it was good to see him returning to decent form and providing such a valuable contribution.

Be interesting to see if offers come in but I reckon Moyes will be happier if he stays, he’s an ideal squad player. Saying that, if the price is right and he wants to leave it’ll happen.
