Not like he was a world beater before and he's always been slow but he was at least a strong runner with the ball at one point. Seems to have completely lost that.
Can't fault his effort, he's just not good enough for whatever reasons they may be.
Utterly fucking useless last night, but in his defence, Moyes plays him wide right, when he doesn't have a leg on that side. How a player who ends up a professional Premier League player doesn't get pulled at some point on his journey for only having one foot... baffles me

It’s mad how he keeps his place yet Dibling gets binned after one stinker
I think it's probably because we aren't going to improve McNeil and Moyes feels Dibling needs to develop his work rate and willingness to battle... Playing him won't necessarily do this and so he's doing what he thinks is needed to make the transfer a success long term.
It's probably the right approach even if it means some pain now for that to reap any rewards.
I'm all in on a manager demanding a player does the basics regardless of their fancy footwork, and also not playing them if they aren't willing to do it.
