Everton’s heavy defeat to Tottenham has drawn sharp criticism from pundits and fans alike, with Gary Neville leading the charge. The former Manchester United defender didn’t hold back in his post-match analysis, insisting that David Moyes must make “immediate and ruthless changes” if the Toffees are to recover from what he described as “one of the most disjointed performances of the season.”
According to Neville, two players stood out for all the wrong reasons — Michael Keane and Dwight McNeil. The Sky Sports pundit argued that both were major liabilities during the 4–0 humiliation at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, questioning their effort and tactical awareness.
“Keane looks completely lost out there,” Neville said. “He’s been given multiple chances this season, but the same mistakes keep happening — poor positioning, slow reactions, and a lack of confidence on the ball. You can’t build a solid backline around that. Moyes has to be brave and take him out of the lineup.”
Neville was equally harsh on McNeil, claiming the winger offered “no defensive support” and “hardly influenced the attack.” He added, “In games like this, you expect your wide players to press, track back, and make something happen going forward. McNeil did none of that. It’s like playing with ten men.”
The defeat leaves Everton dangerously close to the relegation zone, and Moyes — who recently returned to Goodison Park in an attempt to steady the ship — faces mounting pressure to find solutions quickly. Neville suggested that younger players like Jarrad Branthwaite and Jack Harrison deserve more chances to prove themselves, arguing that the team needs “fresh energy and accountability.”
With crucial fixtures ahead, fans will be watching closely to see whether Moyes takes Neville’s advice and drops the underperforming duo. One thing is clear — Everton can’t afford another humiliation like the one in North London.
