Can't fault his effort, he's just not good enough for whatever reasons they may be.

Painful watching him.

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

He's trying imo, he is just slow and crap. I don't watch him thinking he's capable of more.

Cannot watch him any more, I can't do it.

not sure he is tbh. Last night he just looks at the heavens, stops running, turns like a truck, skip hop when he loses the ball etc

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.

What is the point of having him here

The most dangerous ball of the whole match came from Aznou.

Just persist with him until we have players back.

Absolutely none. Punt asap

I think if we'd had more players available, and a bigger squad generally, he'd already by playing for another club.

One of the first ones out of the door in the summer.

He can go now IMO

Waste of a squad place, blocking the development of others
