Looks like a proper right back to me, certainly from the 70 minutes or so I watched on my shitty stream.

I'd have him over both Hibbert and Heitinga at right back, I was hoping he'd cement his place and it's good to see Moyes finally giving him a game.

His aerial ability and height will also come in handy, we'll have less teams hurting us with that long diagonal ball.

Agree he looks quality that we are not used to in this position.

I've never rated the lad tbh..if he's that good then why didnt have a club at the start of the season??

Time will tell of course but for now my view remains the same.

I thought he played quite good, better than Hibbert does.

Umm did anyone see the game last night? Neill was one of the best on the pitch. Set up both of our goals and went in hard in the tackle. He may have been at fault for the last goal though?

great to hear that Lucas played well
i've always rated him as a good player
he's better than Hibbo, so he's a step in the right direction for us

He didn't have a team at the start of the season because he was asking for too much money
but he seemed to lower is asking price for Everton (probs to be with Timmy)

Neils quality.

You wait and see you monsters.

Was very impressed with him yesterday, good football ability and a footballing brain, he has a bit of a niggle and presence about him and with his expeirence we have a tough nut on our hands here. Did well for Saha's goal.

 

[AdamTheGreatOneB]

did we need him seems to me we have spent probably 1/2 a mill at least on him so far with wages and signing on fee if he was fit for the oz games then why play hibbo last saturday

Yes!!

 

[heatmeiser]

Surely people aren't arguing that Hibbert is better?

But if Neill is first choice right back (presuming a lot) where does Big Johnny fit in?

 

[Neiler]

Captain Phil is our best right back for me - though i liked what i saw from Neill yesterday, Hibbert isnt as bad a lot make out.

Anywhere except the injury list.

Thought Neil was class yesterday. Him, and Heitinga, are little rats able to piss anyone off. Add a little bit of bite.

If we had someone like them in the midfield, it'd solve a lot of problems.

Bang on there mate.
The biggest miss for us this season is a strong defensive midfielder
