McNeil shared his thoughts after the game, which was Everton's last match at their home stadium, Goodison Park. He said, "I think we controlled the game from the beginning. Being 2-0 up at home was where we wanted to be, but Ipswich scored just before halftime, making the second half challenging. We controlled the game well, but we didn't capitalize on our chances, and that's what cost us the win."

McNeil was pleased with his goal, citing good technique and movement as key factors. He said, "When I'm in that position, it's all about technique and connecting with the ball. I aimed for the right movement and hoped it would go in. Luckily, it did, and it was great to contribute to the team again after being out for a while."

Despite his goal, McNeil was more disappointed about not winning the game. He emphasized the importance of taking chances in the league, saying that if teams don't, they will be punished.
