We are drained!!!!

I am really concerned, Villa are flying and we are treading water. I think they now have a better goal dfference to? We need to get behind the team and make it a big Goodison game, although the Sunday games hav not been great for atmosphere of late!

Lets use this forum to get messages out to fans to get behind the boys, and stop this ridiculous criticism of Phil Neville, our captain. The lad tries his best every game and is a solid player, he would not have got as many games and medals with Utd if he wasn't? Since he has been at Everton he has had nothing but nice things to say about the club and the supporters, he is always professional and his interviews are excellent, he talks absolute sence.

So lets get behind all of our players.......

Are you his mum? Nevilla Neville?
 

I agree Nevilles criticism is unfair but people are already thinking about next season and who should be sold and who shouldnt be- Neville falls into the bracket of maybe he is dispensable.

Villa won 5-1 today the signs arent good for next week and as we generally do [Poor language removed] when we are live on Sky we may just struggle against them. On the other hand our defence is solid and we dont conceed many goals but we do need to create a lot more and get some service up to Yak and AJ. I really hope Pienaar, Arteta and Ossie are fit for the game as I think they are the key to us winning. Fingers crossed that all free are available.

Good post. Your the kind of fan we want on here.

With regards to Neville though, I just don't like him in midfield.
 
Not his mum, just think the criticism he gets is unfair; don't you?

No. As the captain of our club he should be setting the highest standards.

As the captain of our club he should be a big enough man to tell the boss he isn't good enough to play in midfield.

Having him in midfield does untold damage to our club.

He is a professional footballer who constantly gives the ball away due to his inability to pass to a team mate. Thats Sunday league amateur stuff.

And it should not be tolerated.

He has a place at this club and thats at right back. Not out of position costing us games and vital points just because Moyes has a hard on for him and has to play him.

What Moyes sees in him as a midfielder i do not know. Or is he that blinded by his defensive capabilities he cannot see anything else?

Everything you said about him may well be true but they do not disguise his major shortcomings for which he deserves every bit of criticism that comes his way.
 
Phil Neville

To be fair to Phil Neville, I do't think he tells the manager where he wants to play, he probably has only played in midfield because we are short, and for that reason I am glad we have him. If Ozzy, Cars, Tim, Pienaar and Arteta are all fit, he doesn't play there. Also, had Manny and Tommy produced what we thought they could have, he would have had even less chance.

Truth is he is a good player to have around the squad and his experience is vital.

As I say....we are lucky to have him....

I'm worried about the Villa game now. Very worried.

But to be fair they did only beat the whipping boys Derby and the Birmingham game was at home, and Villa havent really played well away.

The way we are playing we are no better:dodgy: But I think we will at least draw and in the end get 5th spot(y)

What???...we signed Pip in Summer 05 just when we had qualified for the Champions League qualifying rounds. Starting from those games against Villarreal he has contributed nothing but dreadful performances. In the derby games alone he was sent off twice and scored an own goal. Neville really is atrocious...incredible how he survived at United although he was mainly a sub, a utility player, most great sides can carry one dud and that was neville at Man U. He is not a premiership player...yes hes a good pro, doesnt complain or cause any unrest...but purely as a footballer hes [Poor language removed], zero control, [Poor language removed] passing and terrible decision making. In 99 he gave away the pen to Arsenal that should have knocked United out of the FA cup, in 2000 he gave away the pen to Romania that kicked us out of the Euro's. Neville may have a cupboard full of medals...but he earnt none of them...they were won inspite of him. I hate the fact that such a pathetic "footballer" is our captain nevermind making the first XI. So...we are NOT lucky to have him....he is lucky to have US.
 
would anyone els go back to 4-5-1 for the game... i would only if it didnt have nev in the middle of the pack... or should we stick with yak and johnson who well have been [Poor language removed] for the last 2-4 weeks
 
I'm gonna revise this:

2-0 to Villa.

We picked the absolute worst time to lose our form and lose players to injuries.

The amount of matches we've played this year have finally started to take their toll.

Osman and Arteta should be back next week. With Fernandes getting back to his best and Pienaar with another 60 minutes under his belt we should be ok for players.

I really can't see Villa beating us. We have been poor of late YES but one thing we have is a quality defense who rarely have off days. Most I can see Villa getting is a draw.
