Moyes will say he's had chances and hasn't been good enough, and he will get more chances in the future, which he will. McNeill was appalling the last time he played, so surely Dibling will get another go before he does.
….thought McNeil was much better than his performance at Sunderland. I’d have to think he’s the more likely cover for
Ndiaye in January.
I can only guess what’s happening with
Dibling. I’m sure the hope was he’d be an exciting addition to the squad, getting decent playing time and providing cover for
Ndiaye. Because of that, I’d also be sure his move has not gone as expected as he’s not impressing enough to be involved.
Maybe he’s just not as good as they thought or maybe he’s finding the move really difficult. He’s making the bench but they seem to be keeping a lid on his profile, not even giving him some football at U21 level, so he could be struggling and the club are protecting him and simply giving him time.
