Which 'Phil' was the better Everton skipper?

[Khalekan]

Yeah but it was about 5 years ago. It speaks volumes about us as a club really.

“Eh laaaa do you remember that time Jags did that fkn boss screamer to earn us a famous 1-1 draw at Anfield?”

“‘Kinell Robbie, I do mate, I do indeed. Av got tears in me eyes ere kid!!!”

Indeed.


As someone else said in reply, it is such a big deal because we have had bugger all to shout about since

The Andy King goal versus them in 1978 is another examole of a very rare bright moment in a dismal era which was celebrated beyond its actual significance in the greater scheme of things.

Dan Gosling as well

As you say, this disproportionate celebration and reverence of mundane goals is more a reflection on the hopeless underachievement of our club than the passion of the fans.

I agree with what most say on here, Jags was the better footballer and in his prime was a superb center half. Neville though had a bit more snide about him, super vocal, always whingeing at the ref etc. and was an OK full-back. His biggest problem was that Moyes insisted on playing him as a midfielder. Moyseys biggest failing was his insistence on shoehorning decent players into positions that made the look rubbish. I still shudder remembering when he would play Jags as a right back

Jags, for all his qualities is not the kind of captain we need. Leading by example is only effective when the guys you are showing an example to actually care that they are playing like cowards, many of our lot dont seem to care and Jags or Baines say nothing! Neville would at least have called them out for it and given them a severe pointing at!

Jagielka, Phil Neville was an anus stain on the cloth of that club.

 

[gianthogweed]

Jags has had some great seasons while Neville had about 3 decent games in his whole everton career
anyone can shout and point fingers but if you can't back that up with actual footballing ability who listens

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

That both have been the go to guys for captaincy over this last decade probably says a lot about the character of many of our other players during this period.

Sad eh?

Every vote for Phil Neville is an actual crime against humanity.

Some people shouldn't be allowed to vote. Tyrannical yes, but it's for their own safety.
