This all day long.
Some people would have us with 11 players and a couple of kids on the bench.
Or we could use his £50k a week pay packet to sign a player who actually has the legs for the premier league.
Im sorry, but I read this part of his interview in a slightly different way....with him bieng from Bury and all....
"I've got my A licence now, I go to games and study methods and read a lot. I've always been into the fitness side, my [twin] sister's a conditioning coach so I tap into that"

Everyone played well against United. Neville wasn't one of the better performers.
And singular performances aren't really a good yard stick for any player, never mind a defensive one. It's about consistency and as I said before, although he plays in defensive roles they are roles where some offensive threat is really required. It's not that he doesn't get into the final third, it's that when he does he is utterly useless. That's putting ourselves at a willing disadvantage.
That chart shows players touches against Villa. As you can see Neville had a fair few (bigger font = more touches). More than Naismith in fact, and as many it seems as Fellaini. Now we were on the front foot all that game, and Neville was useless in that department. His crosses are awful, he has no vision and he can't pass beyond 5 yards. He also has no pace and when pressed with the ball he panics as he has no real skill or ball control. I know we won that game but Neville was pretty much a passenger, and I can't help but think in similar games -- or any game where we're not on the back foot 90% of the time -- that someone with offensive abilities either in CM or at RB would be a better asset.
I'm happy with him as cover, but he will never be just cover under Moyes. He's started every game so far and we started the season injury free. I miss the days where we had an in form Arteta at the centre of our team. That was great. Seeing Neville on the ball there just makes me sad.
Against United, as you implied, he did indeed play well but he was asked to do a massively defensive role. We had to defend a lot in that game even if it didn't seem like it with their lack of clear cut opportunities. But in most games we do not have to do that. When we need to break a team down having Neville at the heart of our team is like playing with 10 men. Against West Brom this was fairly evident.
