>Asked how he’d react to George coming in if he were Dibling, Moyes, whose side go to Fulham today (Saturday), said: “I’d be thinking I better get my finger out and show the manager what I was really all about.
>“The one thing is Tyler has got on his side is that he is young and he is a quite a quiet boy who might take more time to settle in. *Might.* But he needs to show when he gets the opportunities.
>“I think there are just little glimpses of him just beginning to get angry, which I am enjoying, just beginning to be someone who might have to get angry in order to show what he wants to do.
>“What we want from him is being direct, taking people on, committing people, Jack Grealish does it in a way where he drags the ball and brings people to him and find a way of not releasing.
>“It doesn’t need to be all one way, but he needs to get a way of becoming that player who we bought that we thought would be creative. Are you going to get us some assists, are you going to score some goals? He is just showing little signs that he is heading towards that a bit better.”
>In terms of where these emotions Moyes claims he is seeing are coming from, he added: “I think Tyler is more angry with himself. He is quite a quiet boy, but I think he is angry with himself because I think he is realising that if I don’t get my finger out than I am going to get pushed aside here.
>“He has more competition but that is what happens in football. If you want to be at the elite end of football then the competition is stiff and you have to live with that.”
>Moyes believes George’s arrival can be mutually beneficial for the pair, though, who were photographed together in training this week at Finch Farm with Dibling smiling when in conversation with his new team-mate. He said: “Yes, he’ll help him. They play in the England Under-21s together.
>“They’re quite close and quite pally, they know each other. So, hopefully it helps Tyrique as well as Tyler.”
Brutal honesty pushing the player on. Armstrong clearly has the i’ll show you mentality and we will see on George. Dibling may have been coasting a bit on his ability so this could spur him on. This is at least a much better response than him just repeatedly calling Aznou a twink as the reason for lack of games
Dibling looks increasingly like really bad recruitment on our part, especially for the money we laid out for him. I’ve been thinking the reason we’ve seen so little of him is because he was bought as a future prospect, but Moyes clearly seems to be disappointed with what he’s offering.
Welp at least everyone knows where everyone stands. It is looking like a strange piece of businesses. Player needs to take his chances assuming the manager gives him a consistent run of games.
19 year old players who need time to improve are a tough sell to the instant gratification crowd.
Patience.
He’s a good player with great potential, but it’s always been clear that he’s a quiet, reserved person who would likely take time to get comfortable. He’s still only 19 for goodness sake. We should be encouraging and looking after him to help him flourish, not deciding that after 6 months and a handful of appearances it was a mistake. We should have learned from Dwight McNeil that these types of people aren’t deliberately playing badly or don’t care, they are struggling for confidence and don’t know how to get out of a funk. Yes he needs to show something to earn the chance to play but the number off people writing him of and dismissing the signing as an error is daft.
The most Everton thing to happen now is him to come off the bench and get himself sent off.
Funny if he doesn’t even get a minute against Fulham now.
