Moyes holds out hope for Dibling during Afcon

Give him some minutes in the next few games, and not some useless 2 minutes + added time to run down the clock.

The Fulham result and performance were very good and took the pressure off you for a bit but that performance has got to be consistent and let’s be honest we won’t be playing Fulham, at home, every week.

Prime example would be Ndiaye coming off for McNeil against Sunderland. That would perhaps contradict what he is saying slightly. Playing young players more, particularly one with a full season's Premier League experience, would I think put us in a better place.

I might be wrong but I'd harbour a guess that the Nottingham Forest Chairman would have liked to appoint Silva. I think that, if Dyche, wants to stay in his new job (I'm sure he does), then he's going to have to prove to people that he's more than a defensive minded fire-fighter.

This article is about Dibling, I know, but I don't think I've ever seen a player improve without playing competitive football on a regular basis.

That of course is not fair to the lad who at £40M chose Everton because he expected regular first-team football. Instead of other options I am sure he had.

I am still searching for why Moyes would have brought McNeil, who has been poor ever since his injury last season, on as sub instead of Dibling recently.

We would all be complaining and asking for Moyes's head if Tyler's inclusion caused us to lose games.

I tried to edit an earlier post, Michael, but couldn't, it didn't work for me.

But he is the Moyesiah and his judgement must not be questioned -- or it just makes the situation worse!!!

I think it is a bit early to decide that Dibling has no future just because McNeil has been subbed on a few times (odd though those substitutions were).

Give the kid a break. Moyes is never one to break in new players super quick and I hope over time Dibling will get and take his chance.

I was watching him in the moments before kick-off against Palace and, while the rest of the lads were high-fiving and geeing each other up, he was stood still with a completely blank face. I thought at the time that "He's either stone cold emotionally or he's scared shitless!" — and after his performance in that first half... I think it's the latter.

I think McNeil will likely start when Ndiaye goes to the Afcon and it's up to Dibling and Alcaraz to show that they're up to the task of replacing him. Unless McNeil rediscovers his early Dyche form then that right wing position must be very much up for grabs.

The disappointing part is McNeil is totally out of form. Against Sunderland, Moyes wasn't wrong to give McNeil a chance. Until last season he has been good performer and the only ounce of creativity that this bunch had till last season.

However, this season so far, he has been shite.

Tyler needs game time now, not two weeks before Afcon.
Dwight will not get a look this season unless we lose Grealish during Afcon, and he wont be up to speed in any case, sadly we might do better to sell him on.

I would like an insight to how we set up without Gana during Afcon too, and how Rohl fits in.

If Garner is restored to the mid we will need a dedicated right-back incoming January, is that option on the table or are we purely focused on the Number 9? After the Fulham showing some belief has been restored in developing what we have, with Barry showing the first signs of adjusting and contributing, and squad players proving useful too.

So from a Tyler story to a transfer question: How much can we spend in January, and who are the targets?
