Makes another substitute appearance
Dibling recorded two tackles (one won) in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Arsenal.
Analysis: Dibling entered the match in the 72nd minute as Everton attempted to find a way back into the contest, contributing two successful tackles during his brief appearance. The young winger has been restricted to a substitute role this season, accumulating just 46 minutes across three Premier League appearances. Despite his limited playing time, he has created three chances during those outings, demonstrating some attacking potential when given opportunities. Dibling remains behind more established options in Everton's attacking rotation but could earn additional minutes if he continues to make an impact off the bench.
Impactful from the bench
Dibling recorded three shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Ipswich Town.
Analysis: Dibling came from the bench with 24 minutes to go to try and help Everton secure the win over Ipswich. He took three shots and created two chances in his first Premier League minutes for the season. He put in a brilliant cross for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall but the midfielder wasn't able to head it on target. Of Dibling's three shots, he was able to put one on target.
Strong outing in EFL Cup
Dibling provided an assist in Wednesday's EFL Cup win over Wolverhampton and drew praise from Everton assistant manager Alan Irvine, who stated that "he looks like he belongs here now."
Analysis: Dibling made a positive impression and could strengthen his case for more involvement going forward. It was the winger's second start in cup action following his exclusion from league contests, and he impressed through offensive play generation. That is a noteworthy development for a young attacking option competing for minutes. Still, he's facing tough competition with Brennan Johnson currently favored on the right flank.
Recovered from minor knock
Dibling has recovered from the knock that ruled him out of the game at Bolton and played 60 minutes in Tuesday's friendly against Stoke City, the club announced.
Analysis: Dibling's 60 minutes marks a step forward in his workload after the minor setback, an encouraging sign in his recovery as he continues building toward a bigger role since signing with Everton. His minutes will likely continue to be managed carefully as preseason progresses, with a fuller role expected as the new season approaches.
Dealing with minor knock
Dibling (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's friendly against Bolton due to a minor knock, according to the club.
Analysis: Dibling has been building toward a bigger role after signing with Everton, and this new knock is a minor setback to monitor, though he is expected to feature against Stoke City in midweek. His involvement in that fixture should provide a clearer picture of where he stands physically as preseason continues.
Rare league start
Dibling registered three shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Burnley. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 85th minute.
Analysis: With Iliman Ndiaye away at AFCON and Jack Grealish (illness) unavailable, Dibiling earned a start on the right wing, his first in the league since Oct. 5 against Crystal Palace, when he was substituted at halftime. He posted solid attacking numbers with three shots, three crosses and two chances created but finished without a goal or assist and remains without a goal involvement in his first season with Everton.
Signs with Everton
Dibling completed a transfer to Everton from Southampton, the club announced.
Analysis: Dibling made his move to Everton from Southampton and is now set to be an important part of the attack. Last season was tough for Dibling during his first run in the Premier League, as he finished with just two goals in 33 appearances. Everton profile as a better attacking unit, and have the space for Dibling to grow into a larger role without relying on him immediately.
