Sideliner Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 maybe if he was there Readding would have scored first and it would have been 3-0 - hehehehe - just a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I don't think we missed his presence on the field. Hitzlsperger played reasonably well, and will get better as he gets match fitness. We miss him in terms of numbers though and unless Gibson is back for Norwich we'll feel that heavily.

MikeO Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 We miss him in terms of numbers though and unless Gibson is back for Norwich we'll feel that heavily.

JoeQuince Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I think we did seriously miss Phil yesterday. As much as I like Hitzlsperger for all of his brains and attacking qualities, he has always lacked a certain toughness. Phil's got the toughness and plays a no-nonsense game. He just isn't very pretty with it. But Neville can really take charge of a game, as a captain, which Hitzlsperger never reeeaaally did for Stuttgart. Â I feel like Neville just looks like a passenger, more so than he actually is, sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouse Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 So hopefully Gibbo will be back for next game and Hitzlsperger can remain on the bench. As for Neville he will still have the off field influence whilst he is injured we will miss his versaltility tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I dont think we missed Neville at all. Hitz covered all his defensive work and also brought a lot more to the attack. Steve_E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Like I've already said, I just hope that if we do play him that it's not on the wing. He doesn't look suited out there at all, and he's built up confidence by playing through the middle for Wednesday and putting him out wide would take his confidence away (IMO).

Hafnia Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I think he's doing the wrong warm up for his role in the team - no where in that clip did you see him outstretching his arm, pointing and shouting with his eyes in a furious authoritive blaze.

Avinalaff Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Isn't it time some of you took note of the great things Neville has given the club, and stopped knocking the guy towards the end of a fantastic career? If he was not worthy of making contributions to the team, Moyes would not play him. He might not set your world alight, but he isn't any where near as bad as some of you make out.

Â I don't think there is a member on this forum that doesn't respect his professionalism and dedication he has made in forging a career out of very little natural ability - certainly when you compare him to more lavishly talented players. Â The fact is Av, when moyes plays him in the centre of the park he adds nothing from a footballing perspective. Yes he talks, he points, he shouts - he makes a very visible cheerleader/motivator and fair play every team needs that. But that needs to compliment a player who can pass, who can control a ball, who is comfortable in possession... Phil isn't very good at any of these things. Â For me he is our 3rd choice right back and emergency defensive midfielder (when there is no felli, gibson, hitzlepserger). Â Some people find it tough to criticise good honest pros, but the fact is they don't always make a good team. Sideliner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoward18 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 http://performance.f...e-match-warm-up  HAHA it reminded me of this:   As goofy as that shit looks, it's extremely effective. I messed up my hip/thigh pretty badly a long time ago while shooting a ball. Ending up straining my thigh muscle to the point that the tip of my hip bone became detached and every time I attempted to run or kick a ball I would pull up. All three of those dynamic stretches were crucial to getting me back into shape and preventing pulls.  Also, is the whole silly walk sketch really that hilarious to British people? When I first saw it I chuckled for the first 10 seconds or so but the way people are laughing in the background the entire time you'd think it was the funniest thing ever.

Sideliner Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 if Neville is not a complete passenger ( with a lot of luggage ) then he is the closest thing to exactly that that i have ever seen if Giggs and Scoles can't get full games for United, Neville should not be allowed to do his stretching exercises for Everton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't exactly have loads of depth and that especially holds true with Barkley and Gueye on loan. His ability to fill in at mid and right back is needed. I don't want to see him back as anything more than a substitute on a cheap contract, though, after this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avinalaff Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 The 36-year-old's current contract expires in June and he is yet to open talks with the club about a possible extension. The former England international has already started 20 matches this season and but given his age and the fact he has recently undergone knee surgery, he remains unsure as to whether he can continue for another campaign. Â "I'm quite relaxed about the situation," Neville told the Liverpool Echo. Â "I spoke to the manager before Christmas and he asked me what I wanted to do. And I said I wanted to speak probably more towards the end of the season. Â "I think I'm a year older than Sylvain Distin (who has just signed a year's extension). Â "I think it's sensible at my age to first, see how the body is, and then see how my situation is within the club and at the end of the day ask 'Do I still retain the hunger and the determination, and more importantly am I still having a positive effect on the team?' Â "These are the things over the next three or four months that I'll be weighing up and we'll take it from there. Â "I've been at Everton for the last eight years and I've been captain and I've been a large part of what's been going on. Â "But I want to remain as influential and if felt I wasn't as influential or I felt my form had dropped, or if I was standing in the way of someone who was coming through then I would have to look at it. Â Â Some of the comments on Toffeetalk have been really mean, and I'm not sure I'm going to be able to read that forum anymore. Â "That's the reason why I'm in no rush."
