Everton’s season has been plagued by a disastrous start, but it appears like things have settled down since then. After all, their losing skid couldn’t last forever, even if it felt like it could after four successive Premier League defeats, two of which came with them leading 2-0. Everton manager Sean Dyche was under increasing pressure, but a win and two draws have slowed the bleeding and put the Toffees in a much better position heading into the latest international break. They are presently 16th in the table with five points, one win behind big-spenders Manchester United and West Ham United, and with games against Ipswich Town and Southampton on the horizon.
Things aren’t as bad as they appear, and people in the club remain optimistic. Fabrizio Romano shares how Everton feel about the £15 million star. Especially in terms of the improvement of one of their key players from an otherwise disastrous campaign, with Fabrizio Romano, a renowned transfer journalist, providing a behind-the-scenes insight into how Everton fans feel about Dwight McNeil’s progress. Signed from relegated Burnley for under £15 million in 2022, the wide man has blossomed into one of the club’s best players, with this season in especially standing out so far.
And, predictably, Everton are overjoyed with how he has thrived in his new role, having been forced to play as number 10 due to a shortage of available players. Romano said on X: ‘Dwight McNeil has three goals and one assist in three games and has been nominated for the Premier League Player of the Month award. Everton are quite pleased with his progress. Dwight McNeil has been Sean Dyche’s shining star this season. It’s no surprise that McNeil is up for the Premier League’s Player of the Month award in September, given what a fantastic month he had to add to his already impressive season.
He has three goals and two assists, but it only scratches the surface of his incredible form; he averages 1.9 shots per game, 3.3 important passes per game, and has produced seven significant chances, according to Sofascore. Whether out wide or across the middle, he remains hardworking, making him the ideal player for Dyche to have at his disposal. Hopefully, the rest of the squad can rise to his level in the coming months, moving them well out of the relegation zone while also laying a solid platform for when Dan Friedkin completes his Everton takeover.
