Had a great season, I had reservations about him in midfield but he is making me think again. One more thing bad players don't play for Fergie as many times as Pip did
 

excellent game today. strong season.

i think the problem is that last season if he was in midfield he was usually paired with carsley. both good players but not a great partnership. crab central.
 

I think hes been getting better every game hes played in midfield. I think at this stage last season I would never have imagined myself saying anything but put Neville on the bench!

He simply isnt Bill. He wouldnt get in a top 4 sides squad never mind be captain and in the 1st 11 every week

Sure he is.

I won't argue about playing his position for one of the top three, but for Everton, he's made that position his own this year.

I agree that it has made a huge difference having Arteta next to him but give credit to Moyes for making the decision to move Arteta to the middle.

Everything changed for the better once those two were paired together in the middle of the park.

I would say that was more down to the spaniard more than Neville, even today he struggled until he got someone who could play football alongside him.
So if your admitting he wouldnt be good enough for a top 3 side, why is that good enough for us?

Because he has been good for us.

I think everyone would admit on here that in the past few years, when we'd see Neville's name penciled in at DM, we'd all moan and say "Oh no" because it clearly didn't work for him next to Carsley.

However I think this year, we'd all be concerned if he wasn't penciled in at that position from the get go.

And we are not yet a top 3 side HB!!
 
Neville has been good for us. Saying its all Arteta is a poor excuse for the Neville haters. The last 2 performances shouldve proved you wrong.

He was solid at right back at the start of the season, and hasnt had many if any below average performances this season. He is suitable for the starting 11. Who else are you gonna play HB, Jacobsen? Maybe Castillo?!
