we literally did try to get a FB in, we just failed, and I got the sense we wanted woltemade over barry but knew we couldnt get himWas thinking last night that that team is 2 first team players away from being really competitive. The midfield we had on the pitch at the start is fantastic, Pickford is great and the centre backs are good enough. The issues are basically our full backs and our striker. Really strange that, in particular, we didn’t try and get a better full back in
this is about the size of it for me. I get the choice last night to see the game out, but with Iliman off to AFCON, I'll be gutted if Dibling isnt getting minutes at that point.I will say out of every other opportunity I can understand why he didn't play last night but this is getting concerning.
I know what you mean but I do think there is an element of easing him in and at the same time putting McNeil in the shop window as I don't think he will be here much longer tbh.I will say out of every other opportunity I can understand why he didn't play last night but this is getting concerning.
It was a several month saga to sign him mate, with loads of press involvement.Did Kinnear sign him without telling Moyes?

I don't think even the most pessimistic of us would have dare guessed our most expensive signing has barely played a full match of minutes by December.
Per Kroldup vibes.Surely even Everton can't spunk £40m on a young player and write him off after three months when he has hardly touched a ball in that time. He is still very young but somehow some of our fanbase expect prime Gareth Bale/Messi and even they, especially the former, took until their early twenties to really establish themselves. Let's give the the lad some space and time to develop. If he doesn't then it's a really bad call on our part but, quelle surprise, he will potentially go on to become a 'worldie' somewhere else.
Signed for the equivalent today for £29.5 million, played one match.Is being sat on the bench every week, not getting a sniff, development?The club aren't concerned with his development by all accounts so there's no reason for the usual moaning and negativity on here.
