2025/26 Tyler Dibling


Be patient with him. He'll improve after a few games.
I dont think Moyes will ever play him or give him a run of games to improve, I fully expect him to leave at the end of his contract for free with less than 50 starts under his belt, Moyes will 100% play steady eddies rather than give someone a chance
 

He can beat a player, but he relies on skill to do it. He can’t beat a player by knocking it past them and then using pace to get past them. He doesn’t seem to have any acceleration at all and runs like he’s wearing concrete boots.
 

Some good comments on here about his strengths ans weaknesses. I’m starting with the position that he’s a raw, talented 19 year old kid , how do we develop him ? Then I worry. We don’t have to develop Grealish, just make sure he’s fits, understands the team and tactics and let him do his own thing. Dibling needs special, specific training, somebody needs to be identifying that and working with him , whether it’s developing more speed, more strength, tactical nous about when to move inside or move outside etc. Alan Irvine was good at developing youngsters in his early coaching days , Baines too, but I wonder now if they’re too closely involved with “ general training” to take him under their wing. He’s too good to learn anything with our u21s but an outlier with our first team in terms of his age and experience.

I haven’t see anything yet to justify the fee but I assume somebody has , my concern is that I don’t see anything or anyone in Moye’s team or tactics that reassures me we are going to develop this 19 year old to his full potential.
 
I don't know if he did this under instruction or whether it is a personal style trait, but he drifted quite narrow into the ten position or into the half spaces, leaving a lot of room out wide for JOB. A few times JOB was there, a few times he wasn't. As always with an inverted winger, an overlapping full back is complementary, even necessary.

However without that overlapping full back to enter the space or take away their full back, I thought he generally nullified himself; when staying high and wide would have got him more 1 on 1 opportunities.

That being said there were a couple of really pleasing bits of play, when he evaded 3 Wolves players on the half way line in the first half, winning us a throw up the pitch, and a really nice bit of link up play with KDH in the second half that took about 4 Wolves players out of the game.

Think he would look a lot more effective playing in our full strength team. You could see the effect KDH had, for instance
 
I find it hard to judge him on last night's performance.

It certainly wasn't impressive but he was thrown into a scratch team.

What Moyes should have done was make no more than 3 changes and then you could make a meaningful analysis if he was playing with a virtually full strength team.

What I would say is that Illy looked 3 times the player when he came in and played wide right.

To be honest, playing like the last 3 games , the one who could finish out first is Moyes.
 
Just not very good.

I’m sorry but who is sanctioning the transfers here?

40m on Dibbling & 27M on Barry? Both miles away from being starters here.

67m on possible when we needed ready made, we had so many positions needing to be filled.

We needed ready and made like
KDH.

He's started one game you mad man 🤣🤣🤣

And that was a game in which we changed our complete front 5 and, surprise surprise, they played like strangers.
