2025/26 Tyler Dibling

[HalfTimeSayers]

The idea he should just play because he's our big signing is wrong. He doesn't look like he's at the levels required.

I get that he's a young lad and needs time but while he's turning in performances like today he shouldn't be on the pitch unless it's a case of absolute needs must.

Not sure when and why he will suddenly be ready, or why he needs time. 1874 PL minutes last season. 33 appearances. KDH and Grealish had less than 1000 combined (I know they obviously have a back catalogue of experience, just an interesting stat).

It’s weird.

What do we think is going to happen with time? What do we think is going to happen the more we play him? Is he going to become “ready” and confident just from being at FF with Seamus cuddling him?

There are plenty of super talented footballers and sportspeople that have middling to poor careers because they just don’t have “it”.

 

[EGWToffee]

He has no confidence at all. Shoulders slumped back arched. The massive price tag doesn’t help the lad.

Pretty clear it’s a mental thing rather than an ability thing. I feel sorry for the lad.

 

[Gilbert..]

He doesn't look like he wants to be here.

Make him stay. Ive had 40 years of that feeling. Its his turn now.

 

[Bluewater]

The kid has talent.

 

[Ragnar]

Yeah, he’s crap. What a waste of money.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

He doesn’t need more time. He’s just less than advertised. I don’t see his ceiling going much higher. His bad habits are too ingrained. Same with Rohl. Armstrong is younger than them both and looks light years better. And the small cameo from Aznou was way better and more memorable for all the disappearing acts from Rohl and Dibling. It’s like watching Jack Harrison and Jesper Lindstrom 2.0.

19 year old lad. Wind it in

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I think he’s been managed poorly but he really hasn’t helped himself with his performances. Looks like he can’t be arsed.

 

[Eggs]

All on our clueless manager - if he’d treated me the way he’s treated Dibling, I wouldn’t be arsed either.

That he’s Still getting dragged off ahead of Dwight mcshite is laughable also.

….at this point in time, McNeil offers more than Dibling.

It’s not a very high bar and it’s an unpopular opinion but that’s the reality

 

[DualityNSNO]

Plays for his previous team, for a full season, looks between average and great at the age of 18.

Comes to us a year later, Moyes at the helm, "isn't ready", doesn't look good.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Leylo]

I know he's young but the least you can is run your arse off especially at that age... strolling around like he's Glenn hoddle

 

[Rodebaard]

Looks a bit lost to me, positionally.

'What bad habits'?



Getting the ball and beating players causing mayhem?

Makes McNeil look like prime Messi. I feel for the lad but he's way out of his depth and comfort zone currently

 

[atrottel]

Decent PL defenders close him down and his defensive abilities need work, see ball-watching with the goal today rather than staying with his man. Will he get better? We have to hope our coaching is enough to improve him.
