2025/26 Tyler Dibling

[BlueBarrow]

A voice of reason. Agree totally

 

[Billy Dean]

Except he’s deffo not a winger.

Pedant.

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

He is young, but what does settling mean in this instance? Already played plenty of PL minutes last year? Way more than Armstrong. Adjusting to the climate of the North West? Different water hardness upsetting his gut biome?

He has had substantially less impact on Premier League football this year than last. Regression can’t possibly be a good thing. Not like we have a squad of world beaters blocking his progress.

That kid Arsenal have played a few times has only signed a professional contract this week because he only just turned 17. I’m baffled as to what is going to suddenly click for Dibling just by doing rondos at Finch Farm. He is underperforming massively when he has been on the pitch even compared to his own standards shown last year. Don’t mind at all if he tries and fails to take a man on. Do mind not going crazy trying to win the ball back if he loses it.

Not taking that shot last week is totally about confidence and comfort within the squad, and that’s a big shame for him and us. Seamus’ famed welcome dinner round his gaff for new players obviously didn’t work.

“Oh he needs a quality full back behind him.” Why? He showed more for a embarrassment of a Southampton team that were one of the worst the PL has ever seen.

Somethings up. I also think if we can somehow have the patience to keep playing him without sacrificing too many points it will work out. He is clearly ultra talented with the ball at his feet. But other than a couple of decent games, he has been objectively and visually awful.

Progress isn't always linear

To be fair he’s come from a team with attacking overlapping full backs, to one with CBs playing RB.
His style has had to change to accommodate that, plus the bit part role he has with limited games. (I bet in training he has Patto going past him etc)
I’m holding judgement until he’s utilised in the way he was bought for and his confidence is back.

 

[DanB90]

If, has been suggest, Dibling is prone to struggle with homesickness and being a shy, quiet lad, it wouldn’t surprised me if they’ve had an eye on that when bringing Tyrique George in.

Someone who he will know well from playing through the age groups with England.

Maybe why they were keen to keep Armstrong here for the rest of the season as well.

 

[Ferguson1878]

Waiting for someone to say the ole classic " theres a player in there "

Rolls Royce about Morgan Schneiderlin will never be topped

 

[SteStocksDJ]

Maybe he will be good enough to play two years from now....

He’d still only be 21

 

[Tel001]

Pace, power and directness on one side guile, trickery and hopefully delivery n the other. What could go wrong?

They’re both watching McNeil from the bench ?

Rolls Royce about Morgan Schneiderlin will never be topped

He was the new Martin Dobson wasn't he?

 

[greener]

He was the new Martin Dobson wasn't he?

He was actually very, very good when I was a regular at St Marys back in the day.
Man Utd killed him as a footballer. By the time he got here it was just for the payday.

Strangely we could do the same to Dibling as Utd did to him. Play out of position, short cameos, moan about the bits of his play which he was never bought for anyway. I think Dibling will go sooner than later now, if the club can get most of their money back.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Progress isn't always linear

No. But effort is binary.

 

[Curtis]

He needs an overlapping fullback such as Patterson to partner with or have some opportunities at the 10 role becomes isolated on the wing as our attack is so disjointed so one is able to provide an outlet for him.

 

[Neiler]

We're building a team for 3 years time IMO.

Tyler will be key to that.

 

[heatmeiser]

I imagine they're equally as pleased with £62m in transfer fees currently being written off instead

Written off???

 

[Hangleton]

I watched him in a couple of U21 England games in the summer - and he looked just the same kind of player we are seeing for Everton.
