I dunno - McNeil has impressed since coming back in the team. Seems a good professional.
I’m sure he is. These decent performances will give him more options in the summer, and that’s great for him if he is to have a fresh start.
If we wanted to be really harsh, we could ask why “he’s been training well” for the last couple of weeks. Why wasn’t he training well over the last 12 months?
Moyes had clearly sidelined him, but it’s fair enough that if he’s trained better than the other options, play him. Will he stop training so well in 12 months time if he hasnt got any minutes for a few months?
Unpleasant talking about him like that during his redemption arc and his deserved reception from the crowd, but we can’t ignore all the water under the bridge. And let’s not forget we cry every single week about our lack of pace.
