2025/26 Tyler Dibling

[Swartzy]

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.

Crazy as it sounds 40m isn’t a huge amount to spend … not nowadays

Gibbs white went for more a few years ago without getting into the wolves team that much

Its a lot for us though mate, just due to barely spending any money

…looks like he ‘stands players up’ rather than use pace, a bit like Grealish but he needs to do it in more threatening areas.

I asked a few times on here whether he had pace before we signed him.

That's what we desperately needed to address in the summer out wide.

From the very limited game time, he's not a winger who'll stretch play/give us that pace out wide, so it'll be interesting to see how we use him.

Agreed. Can see why he’d look good last season in a team pinned back in their own half. Looks like he’s good at carrying the ball with space in front of him.

As an out and out winger, might not be the best fit for his attributes and definitely not without a fullback giving him some help out there.

 

[Bedfordblue]

Reminds me of a two footed McNeil

 

[greener]

He will get better, he will be a top player, he will play for England.

The question is only if he does it all at Everton or goes elsewhere.

 

[ToffeeTim]

He definitely looks like a player who played under Martin's style at Southampton. He is good at recycling the ball and is tidy in possession, but he doesn't actually do anything that hurts defences. I would be very confident he has the ability to fix that, but it's on our coaches to teach him how to play quicker and much more direct. He needs to be willing to take risks in the final attacking third because we didn't bring him here to turn back inside and keep the ball.

He deserves time and patience because he is still very young and played in a poor team last year, who played what is IMO a terrible brand of football. I would have much preferred a more direct and quicker player who would run in behind but that's not his game and we need to allow him time to adapt to Moyes style. It's frustrating because he cost 40m, but that's not his fault and it's due to the recruitment. We need to now see that the club know how to develop a talented player into a player who will win us matches.

 

[MACCA75]

We still need a quick, direct, straight line winger. I’d probably try and do a deal for the Leicester lad, see if we can throw McNeil in.

Reminds me of a two footed McNeil

McNeill has 2 feet. So just a McNeil then?

 

[Haydn]

Playing him with our paralympic team wasn’t a great introduction. He should have been played in our strongest team.

 

[Titus Shambles]

McNeill has 2 feet. So just a McNeil then?

Perhaps he meant 2 feet in terms of height?! Sure you can basically nutmeg anyone if you can do the limbo quick enough but you're buggered if you ever wanna ride the log flumes at Gullivers World.

 

[Joey66]

Debut made in the worse team selection ever - Like to see him with Nydaye at no 9 - & the ball played on the deck at pace .....

The other no 9s just encourage hoof ball ....

Said this when they rejected £25mill or so. Should've walked away then and got someone who would stretch a team and fullback cover.

But got shot down with someone even saying Dibling was "similar to Mane"

By that logic McNeil, Alcaraz, Barry all would like the same.

 

[kenada_blue]

Russell Martin said he’d be an 8 or a 10 but they used him on the right. He doesn’t look like a traditional winger. He’s good at carrying the ball for sure but he’s not looking like an electric tricky winger who beats a man.

Got talent no doubt. Is it the type of talent we needed or that Moyes is capable of nurturing/developing. Not so sure, we’ll have to see.
