Sean Dyche Burnley
Burnley winger Dwight McNeil has even more to offer according to manager Sean Dyche. The 21-year-old could make his 100th Premier League appearance in the Clarets’ clash with Everton at Goodison Park. McNeil has earned increasingly rave reviews for his performances, topped by a superb goal in the equivalent fixture last season that sealed the three points. Dyche has seen the winger evolve into one of the top-flight’s hottest properties since his debut in 2019 and believes he can still add more to his game.
Sean Dyche said: “Dwight has been fantastic and I’ve been saying it for months and years. He started young and he progressed to earn the right to be a regular in the side. I still think there’s more there, but I think he’s a young player and to amass that amount of appearances so quickly is a great achievement.”
McNeil has been a virtual ever-present in the side since his first start against West Ham in December 2018, missing only two games in the three subsequent years. And his displays have inevitably earned the attention of a number of rivals, with Everton themselves persistently linked with a potential bid in the new year.
Sean Dyche added: “Players become top players because they are consistent and because they still offer something even more even on their quiet days. I think he could just raise that consistency for the full 90 minutes. He can raise the consistency and deliver key moments, which he’s certainly got in him. He’s got the framework to work on, and it’s about working on the details of his game.”
