2025/26 Tyler Dibling

….to critique a player does not mean you are ‘writing them off’. Nobody expects Dibling to be the finished article but you want to be seeing signs that the lad is the ‘special talent’ we’re wanting him to be.

For me, he looks wonderfully balanced and composed in possession of a football but I’ve found his performances a little disappointing, particularly in going beyond defenders and creating threat.

It’s an observation not a conclusion and surely it’s fine to have such an assessment.

He does look good on the ball and composed like you’ve said. What’s disappointed most in the fleeting glimpses we’ve seen of him and his unwillingness to run and players and make things happen. Maybe he’s adopting a safety first approach while he settles into the team and Club or maybe it’s following the orders of Moyes.

Having played football for far too long and at a level way below what the 19 year old Tyler is playing at the moment I feel that he has to be given a chance. In all that I have seen or read about him is that he is comfortable on the all. I don’t think that can be coached, that is talent, the rest is coaching. Would I have paid £40 million, no but we have so it is time to get behind the kid. This is the future, embrace it.
