2025/26 Tyler Dibling

I genuinely dont get why people think that he can come on having barely had time on the pitch at all this season and just start beating players who are sat back defending with no support whatsoever. Not even the best players in the world do that regularly. We literally see with Grealish a lot of the time he isn't so much beating his man as much as he's pulling them away and opening up space but the difference is he not only has the confidence on the ball to do that but we almost always surround him with options, its quite literally the opposite on the other side where Dibling regularly just gets given the ball and is expected to just go past one or two players and then also find the one striker upfront that we have.
 
He’s never a right winger. Actually not sure what he is, he’s just not sharp enough at all for the Prem right now.

I watched him a couple of times last year and he was a different player to what we're seeing now. Doesn't look like he can compete at this level.

It sounds ridiculously old school but I'd be telling him to roll up his sleeves and just liven up more. Absolutely impossible to affect a game of football when you're as passive as he is.
 
can’t get past a player which is concerning
Even when he gets a step on them, instead of getting his shoulder in front of them and driving onwards, at the very least getting fouled; he does that thing kids do, drags it back and tries to beat them again. By that time there is no space.

Clearly brilliant at manoeuvring the ball, but what’s the aim? Bags of talent, but either hasn’t been coached to be an effective football player, or has resisted coaching and is unfocused in training.

A very very hot take, but have thought the same every time he’s played.


We may have bought him for the future. But does anyone know what we’ve bought? What will we actually get in the future? A Lee Trundle-esque show-pony?
 
I thought he showed some great touches. Not taking that chance to shoot was a mistake though.

He's young and will get better though. He needs more support when he's doubled up on too, which he wasn't getting.
 
For the 1000th time, he didn't choose his transfer fee.
Doesn’t matter it’s what we paid so will come with that price tag unfortunately. Can get a Garner and KDH for that money or KDH, Ndiaye. Whether he chose the price tag or not that’s what he’s cost so I expect and will judge him on that fee, if he come through the academy you’d probably be saying loan him out never mind £40m.
