No regrets for Neville
Phil Neville has no regrets about making the switch from Manchester United to Everton, insisting it is "the best move ever".
The versatile England international has seen United field some unfamiliar and weakened midfield line-ups of late, with John O'Shea and Ryan Giggs starting in the engine room during Sunday's win over Liverpool.
However, Neville is refusing to wonder what might
have been as he is thoroughly enjoying life at Goodison Park.
Speaking from Old Trafford to Sky Sports, he said: "It's been the best move ever.
"I think I've not looked back yet. It's the first time I've had a chance to come back to Old Trafford.
"I don't regret the move one little bit. I'm playing with a great manager and a great set of lads. Playing every week is what a professional footballer wants to do.
"That's what I'm doing at the moment and thoroughly enjoying it.
"I didn't move particularly to enhance my England chances, I just wanted regular first team football. I've joined a club that's got the same work ethic as I have got.
"They're all down to earth lads and hopefully I'll be playing every week and can impress the England manager."
Neville is convinced Everton can finish in the top half after four Premiership wins in succession, the latest being Saturday's 1-0 win against Arsenal.
"Hopefully, we're on our way up now," he added. "It was our best performance of the season, beating a very good Arsenal side.
"We're on a bit of a good run now and we've got Chelsea in the FA Cup next week. We can approach that game now and give it a right go.
"I think we've looked at performances of other teams that have had success against Arsenal and that's been the reason why they've beaten them.
"We played a lot of balls forward early on and we've got James Beattie up front, who will run through a brick wall for you. They didn't enjoy it and he was the catalyst for victory.
"Hopefully, we're looking at the top half now. When you're down in 16th or 17th, you can always get sucked into it. We've seen, over the years, teams who think they're too good to go down get sucked in there and end up being relegated.
"We needed a run of games where we've won and we've got the points in the table now.
"Hopefully, we can look up, not down.
"For me, the change was when we scored in the last minute against Sunderland. We didn't play well, Sunderland probably deserved to win the game. We had a slice of luck and it gave us the catalyst to go on a run.
"The players are coming back into form and we're starting to score goals, which we didn't do at the start of the season." |
