I get the impression some on here really have no idea how vast the gap in ability between the Championship and PL really is.
Under no illusions at all to be honest - but there’s countless examples of standout Championship players cutting it in the Prem.
As for the other point - in terms of wide players the ability to use both feet whilst:
controlling the ball, dribbling with the ball, passing the ball, crossing the ball and shooting…
As well as the ability to dip a shoulder and go either way around a fullback.
One of the other biggest attributes I love is their ability to keep going when things aren’t necessarily going their way, to keep showing for the ball and keeping their head up - keep trying stuff instead of looking for a pass back to the left back or inside to a midfielder.
Fully aware that our current shape and league we’re playing in is different but I don’t think McNeil could do what our players do now.
