‘Spoken alot’ :Dwight McNeil says he’s been trying to build a better relationship with one Everton player

Everton’s season has been tumultuous so far, but the worst seems to be over.

   After starting proceedings as poorly as the previous campaign, Sean Dyche has come under deserved scrutiny from his management this term.

   Still the best man for the job, he assured that things would improve, just like the year before.

   And with a first win in the Premier League, it will be interesting to see if his prediction comes true.

   But what is undoubtedly a hit is Dwight McNeil, who played in the middle of all the battles.

   Dwight McNeil shares a conversation with Dominic Calvert-Lewin
   Chatting to Everton’s official website, the wide man, who has been revived as a number ten this season, combed through what has been an impressive campaign so far personally.

   In the top three in the Premier League for chances created, ahead of some truly star names, it’s no surprise that fans are quick to praise McNeil.

   But, ever the hard worker, he acknowledged that more needs to be done.

   At the top of his list of goals is clearly building a stronger relationship with his forwards, namely Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

   The 24-year-old admitted: “I’ve also spoken a lot with Dom [Calvert-Lewin] and the forwards about what they want, because they have one of the toughest jobs on the pitch and as a number 10, you’re the one who generally gets the most  resists, so it’s about building this relationship and understanding between you, ready for the moments when it really matters on the field.”

   Dwight McNeil has been on fire for Everton this season

   It’s fair to say that McNeil Everton has stood out this season.

   It’s so refreshing to see him finally start the new campaign with the consistency and creativity we’ve only seen glimpses of at Goodison Park over the past two years.

   Last term, the former Burnley man scored three goals and assisted a further six, a solid but unspectacular return.

   He already has three goals and two assists this campaign, and his basic stats are even more remarkable.

   After all, he is making 3.5 key passes per game and has created six big chances, four of which have been denied, via SofaScore.

   Clearly, the relationship he shares with Calvert-Lewin is bearing fruit on the creative side.

   All he needs is for his forwards to get in good shape and this could be the best season of his career so far.
