Always been a confidence player.
When hes smiling and firing on all cylinders, he can be a very good player.

But his form is like a rollercoaster.

Always continuing to play him out of position is now just infuriating

Think we dont like an average plodder but we'll make excuses for a really shit flair player or a failed youngster. Think most would speak higher of gomes Kean or patterson.

Plus his first name is Dwight which is never good

You could see the lads been struggling for a long time now….i mentioned it last June in a post about the turmoil he was in…I’m just surprised no one at the club picked up on it earlier…big thing is….as a professional footballer it only gets highlighted through his performances on the pitch….as that’s where he is spotlighted by the fans as obviously we are not as close to him as the inner sanctum within the club…..

Oh aye yeah if there’s one thing Everton fans love and have patience for it’s a flair player or a failed youngster

Some of the people slagging mcneil off are also saying they love patterson. Don't think its much of an argument which contributed more. Gomes was apparently ruined by injury despite being shite before it too.

I think signing supposed wonder kids who dont work out or a crap flair player from Barcelona is more palatable than signing bottom end of the league plodders even if them plodders produce more

Buying a mcneil never sat right with everton fans because it shows how far we've slipped
