Re: Dwight McNeil
Having Ndiaye with McNeil has changed us massively going forward this season. If Branthwaite and Tarkowski stay fit we'll he comfortable. Been impressed with Mangala too, reliable in possession.

Re: Dwight McNeil
His game has its quirks but he doesn’t hide and his final ball is pretty excellent given space (and provided the ball’s on his left foot).

Re: Dwight McNeil
What can I say? Tonight is not the night for this opinion.
Well done Dwight, tremendous goal.

Re: Dwight McNeil
Dwight absolutely best in the 10 gives us more quality on the ball in final 3rd. N’Daiye clearly more effective wide than central. With Gana and Mangala in the 6’s, I think it’s the best midfield

Definitely not "terrible" for the first. Not many GKs are getting to that.TheRam wrote: Sat Sep 28, 2024 4:12 pm Can I be a bit of a misery and say it was terrible keeping for both goals?
But still, he’s been great in that number ten.

Re: Dwight McNeil
Dwight can't really be criticised all that much given his main role up until this season has largely been graft for benefit of the team and the defensive side at that, rather than where his flashy skills lie.
If, say, he didn't have an engine, (or we had a better and deeper squad) and wasn't played back and wide, fans would probably appreciate and rate him alot higher than they do.

Yeah, watched it back now and he’s buried it in the corner.Jamokachi wrote: Sat Sep 28, 2024 10:50 pm Definitely not "terrible" for the first. Not many GKs are getting to that.
Looked at first glance like the keeper kind of dived under it but he had no chance there.
Poor for the second though but Dwight Shoot can hit them in from any angle.

Re: Dwight McNeil
Great variety of goals/technique to his shooting.
Can score curlers, pure screamers where he puts his foot through it, goes high, low, close range, long range.
Great goals today.

Re: Dwight McNeil
He frustrates me at times. He can do THAT, especially the second goal which was just class. Then he'll pass when an easier shot it on. He needs to hit from range more often, especially if their defence is solid as Palace's was. Made up with result obviously
