• “Shocked that McNeil had such a good game, he had a couple of good moments in last game, but he seemed to shine at his best in this one, he even won the ball off Burnley players at times and he kept bringing ball forward without just giving it away, talk about a turnaround. Impressed by him for once.”
• “I also expected Dwight McNeil to be on the bench tonight, having played for around 70+ minutes on Saturday. Moyes stuck with him, and McNeil proved it to be the right call, as he was excellent tonight”
• “Thought everyone across the midfield was brilliant tonight and great to see Dwight McNeil playing with confidence – he and Ili were top drawer!”
• McNeil. For the s— he’s got recently, he put in a performance tonight.
• “Though McNeil had a great game tonight, fair play to the guy.”
• “Thought McNeil played his best game of the season.”

McNeil received a standing ovation when he was subbed off, and speaking after the game, he thanked the Toffees faithful.

“I just want to thank you all for the reception I got coming off the pitch. It means a lot. But we keep going, on to the next game.”

Moyes revealed after the Newcastle United game last week that McNeil had been training really well at Finch Farm and deserved his opportunity to start.

“I just told him to get on with it and he has done so, he’s trained really well this week and deserved an opportunity to start in the team.”
