If that was a shop window, it was boarded up

Re: Dwight McNeil
I agree, it was very poor, but it beats not playing at all.
I think Dyche will value the half a dozen seasons he's had him under him, more than one game under a different manager.

Re: Dwight McNeil
The shop window argument doesn't make sense. There is no market in today's game for a player who doesn't look anything like an athlete, runs in quicksand and who can only use one foot. We're not close to a transfer window, we're not desperately in need of money and we have better options already at the club.
It was just a really, really poor decision from a manager who looks like he belongs in another era, both tactically and inter personally. His motives for it are open to debate but it was so bizarre it'll go down as one of those 'do you remember when' pub conversations for the next few years.

Re: Dwight McNeil
The only rational explanation for this is that he’s trying to set a bar in training and wants more in training from other players.
But even in that context it was the wrong thing to do.

Re: Dwight McNeil
Yeah it was more of a throwaway comment on how poor the fullback situation is. People are complaining about Mykolenko a lot at the minute but our options are very limited right now.
Re: Dwight McNeil
Would like to se Aznou given a go when we're chasing a game. Not from the start but as an atracking sub. It could give Jack so much more space constantly having an option running beyond him.

Re: Dwight McNeil
We would need to be leading 3-0 and comfortably dominating a game for Moyes to even consider this, maybe even 4-0.

Re: Dwight McNeil
I’d want a lot of protection in front of Aznou if he played in a league game. Otherwise he’d get an absolute hounding.
Re: Dwight McNeil
Aznou needs to be brought on for Grealish with 15 mins left.
Moyes is running Jack and Ndaiye in to the ground instead of giving them a rest at the end of matches we've already won or lost.
Need to blood the youngsters as much for the senior players longevity this season as for the subs getting experience.
