Dan Neil


Majestic. Has started to cut his brain darts where he's unaware of his surroundings when trying to let the ball run. Think he nearly got caught onexe but won it straight back and wasn't in a dangerous area
 
The interception before the fourth goal was the highlight of his performance for me. He was excellent.

Why does he blaze every shot with his strong foot thirty rows up but can strike it like that with his weak foot? :lol: His goal against Ipswich was with his left and his half volley against Burnley last year was with his left as well.
BA is the same - hits target with left foot more than right.
 
Eric Cantona once criticised his French international teammate, Didier Deschamps, as being ‘the water carrier’, suggesting that Deschamps didn’t really compare with their midfield colleagues, Viera, Pires, Ginola, etc.

However, Deschamps pointed out that every team needs a player who is capable of just keeping things ticking over, doing the unspectacular stuff, providing leadership, etc.

Deschamps led France in winning the World Cup in 1998 and European Championship in 2000. The undoubtedly more individually brilliant didn’t.

Dan Neil can be our Deschamps, enabling the likes of Ekwah, Clarke and Roberts to optimise their skills, often unspectacularly.
Well, I think Dan Neil is a very skilful footballer .
