2025/26 Tyler Dibling

[Neiler]

Agree with this. However, the problem isn't that Dibling might need time to settle, or Aznou might need to be built up, or Barry might be a bit raw, or Alcaraz might need to become more disciplined... It's that ALL of them need time for one reason or another. That wasn't a tenable transfer strategy when we needed players for the here and now - not the future. The likes of Kinnear will be judged more on commerical matters than he will on football results. The same cannot be said for Moyes. This is one reason why he is now coming under serious pressure.

I think buying young players and developing for the future was the universal hoped for strategy mate, its happened and now we aren't happy because its impacting the here and now.

Maybe we cant have our cake and eat it, we wanted the above, but we also clapped lads like Doucoure, Young and DCL off - they'd be handy right now. Loads were going apoplectic when we were linked with Souceks and Longstaffs etc.

Maybe there is a measure of taking your medicine with patience in implementing this strategy in managing this change.

The plan was for stability. You'll get away with patience when you aren't 1 win in 8.

The manager has to coach these players and make them effective. Otherwise, cheerio.

Are we not stable?

I agree but with the younger ones that's not going to happen in a week really is it....clearly more Senior signings are contributing like Grealish and KDH, so the issue is obviously the scale and scope of the change and adjustment to the profile of player and influenced by youth or adjustment to the league.

Are you serious? Right now we are on the precipice. If we go one win in 9 with Moyes's cowardice at Old Trafford to come, we're in a world of bother.

Saturday is critical. Moyes needs to win that to buy himself more time. But he's short-term anyway, so signing players for the "future" when we didn't have a stable present was a dereliction of duty. He won't be around to develop them.

Mate I've a long Everton supporting career, 14th isn't the precipice for me - its two weeks in Barbados.

Its not critical at all, if you listen to all the mood music its been about players bedding in and developing a team and this taking time - which as i explain above is logical.

He's not getting sacked in a million years unless he gets himself into the position Ange or Perriera got themselves into and even then he would be given a chance, you can take that to the bank.

 

[Nymzee]

Called up for England U21's again.

You can buy for the future if you have an already strong squad and European football to bed youngsters in as part of a team that wins more often than not. Or if you have a well oiled recruitment team that can find the players with the attributes to hit the ground running. We have neither.

Let’s be honest mate, if wed spent and got John McGinn and Thomas Soucek rather than Rohl and Dibling, people would have been apoplectic.

 

[Neiler]

What does Dibling need to do to get into the team?

Moyes: "We want him to up his levels, up his training. I think about Leighton Baines, Joleon Lescott, John Stones - they had to wait there time."

We also don't have European football
On offer

Basically isnt getting in the side anytime soon.

Very pointed mate and after bringing McNeill on before him, purposeful boot up the backside.

did they?

maybe i didn't notice it because we were a top 7 side at the time.....

 

[preposterousvelios]

Thing is,he isn't and never has been a " lead the line" player. Not his fault but totally unsuitable for our set up.

He's not totally unsuitable for our set up. A lot of people just wanted pure pace on the wing and that's not what he brings. Has a different game and that's fine.

Long term I can see him playing behind the striker or doing a similar job to what Grealish is doing. Silly to write him off just because he's not the exact profile you wanted for the wing last summer.

Namechecking defenders is hilarious in this instance. The kid is a right winger. There's a reason you see multitudes more teenage attackers than teenage defenders.
