Re: Mcneil
Hopefully it encourages Dyche to be less scared of youth. We need more of it.

Re: Mcneil
Gudmundson has always been good though....one of our most under rated players....Bardsleys grit is exactly what we need...if he stays fit or suspension free I don't want to see lowton anywhere near our first team....he needs to drop a division or 2 on current form.

Re: Mcneil
if you have player that runs at people or can get a foot on it when it looks lost, even if they lose it it changes the shape of the opposition. The space created allows us to pick the second/deflected/tackled ball and that is when we create. Southgate's England do much the same.

Re: Mcneil
amazing the difference when you have a player that looks to go forward, played lots of nice little one twos - has to start against Hudders

Re: Mcneil
The thing about him is he will constantly look for and try the cross. A good few times it didnt come off. But it doesnt matter. Hes not scared of trying.
Re: Mcneil
Fearless, energetic, and wasn't affraid to get in the box.
Great to see from such a young and inexperienced lad.

Re: Mcneil
He tired in 2nd half but first half he was the main reason the play was stretched and it meant our players had a bit more time on the ball.....lets take into account just how poor west ham were though....I think we surprised them today....Huddersfield will be tougher....but every aspect of our play was better today because we played on the front foot instead of just waiting for them to score...its as if Dyche targeted this as a must win game.....just hope we can mirror todays efforts against Huddersfield.
Re: Mcneil
Phenomenal from the young lad today in a pressure game for us. Looked to go forward every time he got the ball and never lost it. So rare to see a young player with such upper body strength. Very hard to knock him off the ball.
He’ll go far. Also credit to Dyche for picking him.

Re: Mcneil
Really like this lad, he did tire the last 15 but I think it will have done him good to know he can get through the full 90+ mins. Keeps his place for me.

Re: Mcneil
I was impressed with how quickly he looked to distribute, essential at this level
Re: Mcneil
Just what we've needed since the start of the season. Just worry that when Lennon and Brady are back Dyche will revert to the framework and drop him from the squad
Re: Mcneil
Quality on the ball. Great touch, as Vegas said looks to distribute quickly always. All he needs is experience

Re: Mcneil
Fantastic. Calm on the ball, two-footed, accurate and intelligent deliveries, positive on the ball and looking to find space constantly. A very impressive performance.
Physically he still has a long way to develop but he’s got plenty of time to do so. Definitely keeps the shirt against Huddersfield if he’s fit enough.

Re: Mcneil
yep he is still developing his strength but the qualities he has including being 2 footed mean that in a year or 2 we could have someone who we couldnt afford ( or wouldnt buy )....if he isnt ready for 90 minutes then lets try and start him and get him to give us a blinding 60 minutes....sd often likes to sub with 25 or 30 minutes to go.Rileybobs wrote:Fantastic.

Re: Mcneil
Very exciting stuff. But I remember 1975-76. The year we went down for the last time in over 30 years. We had WHU at home. I went to the match feeling sure we would lose [much like today], but we won 2-0. An untried midfielder called Kevin Kennerley scored. His only goal for us. I'm happy for McNeill. I just hope history doesn't repeat itself.

Brilliant game. Bardsley just shaded him for Motm imo. But it's brilliant having a winger who tries to take on a man.

Re: Mcneil
The only negative and I hate to be picky after an excellent showing but Antonio made him look like a carthorse a few times and he was blowing hard for the last 20mins.
The stamina will come the pace won’t.
He should be a very happy young man tonight.

Re: Mcneil
We knew he had something when he played in the Europa at the start of the season. You have to ask why on Earth he hasn’t been in the team at all in the last few months. Moving in the right direction now. Hope it continues. All Dyche has to do now is learn when to make subs, McNeil and Wood were exhausted and should’ve been subbed much earlier. Hope they’ll be fine for Wednesday.

We were comfortable and there were no natural replacements for Wood or McNeill on the bench so Dyche rightly held on with what we had.thelaughingclaret wrote:We knew he had something when he played in the Europa at the start of the season.

Re: Mcneil
Outstanding. Looked jaded on 75 mins, thought SD should have subbed him for Hendrick and Vokes for Wood at that time, would give them more recovery time for Wednesday, but as said he (McNeil) should be well pleased with his performance.

Re: Mcneil
I was worried by Dyche's decision to introduce McNeill today - I wasn't sure he was ready (based primarily on the evidence of 30 minutes against Everton), and I wondered if it was a bit of a desperate roll of the dice from Dyche. Delighted by how wrong that proved to be.
For an 18 year old, his composure and poise are really quite something. His confidence to look forwards and try things - even if they didn't all come off - and his intelligence and appreciation of space and angles were equally impressive. Of course he made mistakes - a couple of times he wanted a bit too much time on the ball, including on time when a first-time shot was on inside the box in the first half - but he's bound to; he's 18.
He definitely tired a bit in the last 20 minutes, and so it woudn't be a total surprise if Dyche decided to give him a rest against Huddersfield. He needs to be handled with a care - he's making a huge step up. But the evidence so far is he's a seriously exciting prospect.

Re: Mcneil
Watching him today, I think he’ll eventually move into a more central position. He’s not particularly quick or tricky, but he’s got a good touch, a nice left peg and he wants the ball. You can see him playing off the striker(s).

Re: Mcneil
Wouldn't disagree with that AG, but roaming from the left hand side seemed to suit him nicely as well. He's got the ability to find space from there.agreenwood wrote:Watching him today, I think he’ll eventually move into a more central position.

I'm not comparing him in terms of ability - it is way to early for that - but there's a touch of the Christian Eriksen's about his style of play.

Re: Mcneil
Was magnificent today and nearly had a couple more goals to go with it. Was really unlucky with the one that went just wide.
Even the great Fabianski wouldn't of saved it.
I thought his goal had gone in the side netting as he didn't look to have any room to score.
He will learn just how quickly you get closed down in the premier league as he keeps on improving.

Re: Mcneil
Did really well today. Definitely 'blowing' in the last 15 minutes but if he wants to retain his place in the team he has to get used to it. He's young and I can't subscribe to the notion of some on here that Wednesday's game will come a little early for him. After today he must be eagerly awaiting the next fixture.
Re: Mcneil
Brilliant game. As a teenager he shouldn't be knackered for Wednesday. Same again please.
