2025/26 Tyler Dibling

[GoodisonRoadSupperBarWool]

He’s probably terrified if he does anything too risky / gives the ball away he’s getting dropped.

Felt like Barkley vibes from Moyes was last here.

Let the lad go and play in the final third. He was decent when he got on the ball today for me

 

[Gene Parmesan]

He’s certainly shown more than McNeil and should start over him in future based on that outing.

 

[Del-boy]

Liked how he stopped a dangerous Burnley counter right after the handball on the corner. Just grabbed the guy and pulled him down. Times gone by our players would just let them run off towards our goal.

He was okay, but we might as well play the lad until Illy gets back. There is no alternative really. We've got Forest, Brentford and Wolves up next, so it's not like he's going to be ruined by playing against the best teams when he's not ready.

I think there's potential but my biggest worry is that he's regressed since he's joined us. Yesterday was fine for a lad his age, but the price tag makes you think there should be more than what we're getting right now.

One positive, I guess, from the game is that Moyes had some positive words to say about Dibling. Hopefully next game and it'll be McNeil dropped instead of him when Grealish is back.

One of the only 3 players of note on the pitch.

However, hes mostly not playing how he was at Southampton. Playing backwards and sideways wasnt his game then.

Posession for the sake of posession is pointless and what we tried to do yesterday. Need to go for the jugular with quick incisive play suited for Dibling and others.

…..encouraged by that, maybe the best thing that came out of a poor team performance.

If we're bringing up Barkley though...have to say Dibling is nowhere near his level.

Good first half, never loses the ball or gives it away, definitely a player there just needs games. He doesn’t look short of confidence, I think he definitely knows what he can do, he just seems scared. I think with him it is definitely an age/maturity thing.

Its why i don't think it was a wise investment for now.

3 years down the line. Maybe.

Maybe if he`d not just been sat on the bench since he signed he might be more settled in and producing more. Moyes knew Ilman was going off in December for the African Cup but waited until he left before trying some other options on the right. Great planning by Moyes.

 

[sanctioned]

He has a right foot and if he uses it more he can be incredibly dynamic. Has good reflexes and is big and strong, think he could grow into a really effective player. Perhaps a bit more confidence on the mental side will help.

 

[Dharma]

Just doesn't look happy to be at Everton.

 

[SJB]

Thought he did well yesterday, created a few chances. Didn't look to beat his man as often as some might have liked to have seen, but he was very isolated out there with nobody overlapping or making runs to take defenders away and create space for him.

Stood up for himself well against a bit of rough treatment from the yard dog Burnley players too which was good to see.

Who was playing for Sheff Wed at the same age.
