Would you offer Phil Neville a one year contract in January?

[steken1]

My eyes suggest he's a terrible footballer.

My eyes suggest that about loads of players in the prem. For whatever reason he performs a function that helps our team. I'd be made up if we never see him in blue again as long as we had players that can do it better. Moyes obviously doesn't think we have.

If Junior or anybody else comes in and does better I'll be suggesting we get rid too.

How is this poll that close???

He's 35 years old, a footballing liability AND he's on £50k a week!

^^^^^

Never thought I could dislike an Everton captain as much as I do Neville.

82 people on this forum are braindead apparently.

He's defo blackmailing Moyes like...

He was abysmal tonight. Embarrassing that he turns out for us most weeks. Threadbare squad is an understatement.

 

[Azzurri]

Fukcking horrific tonight. He needs to just retire right now.

Just for posterity, before tonight this poll was 82 "Yes", 84 "No". Which means nearly 50% of Evertonians who answered this poll actually want to see that "footballer" in an Everton side for another 12 months.

Amazing.

When his brother put out a performance as bad as that (Stoke away a couple of years ago) he retired straight afterwards and has gone on to achieve some success.

We can all live in hope. Watching the news like a hawk tomorrow.

He was shocking and the Newcastle players targeted him. People are giving ossie **** but I would like to see you play in the middle with Neville next to you.

He doesn't want the ball under pressure and when he gets it he just panics.

He really was and he really does.

If he was a horse he,d be called sad ken. And if moist was his owner he'd be entered in the grand national.
I would the derby too but he'd obviously lose that.

I'm sick of saying it every week, really.

He is past it. People talk about Barkley going out as 'CM is the hardest position, in the hardest league' etc. Well putting a 35 year old whose legs have gone there, when he has no natural ability on the ball... hmmmm. Genius.

I watched him deliberately today and so many times I saw the ball in between him and one of their players and he just stood off. He's not confident in his own legs to get to the ball, and when he did try he got carded and gave away another foul later on that a more stringent ref might have punished with an early bath.

Drop Fellaini back into midfield and put Mirallas or Naismith behind Jelly. I am no master technician but even I can see that one.

I'd rather have Heitinga or even Barkley in the midfield if that is the way it has to be. ABN. Anyone but Neville.

He really is very poor. I did state earlier in the thread that I'd offer him a reduced contract on a backup basis but considering the state of that last performance, how much worse does he have to get to get dropped from the ****ing team?

I can remember quite a few moments in the match where he was unbelievably bad, and I didn't even watch the whole thing due to having to do work at certain intervals. Hesitant in the air, and poor on the floor. Not a good combo. He somewhat (not too much) gets away with it at RB but at CM his flaws really are very apparent and the sooner he is shown the bench, the better.
