EVERTON FC: HIBBO'S KEY ROLE

/noticias.info/ Phil Neville has tipped Tony Hibbert to play a key part in Everton's run-in.

For the most part, the duo have shared right-back duties this season - but Neville moved to midfield against Manchester City and Hibbert impressed against dangerous winger Martin Petrov.

Neville told evertonTV: "He was my man of the match without doubt.

"We have all seen how awesome Petrov has played all season for Manchester City.

"He was their dangerman and he didn't get a kick which was all down to Tony Hibbert.

"We are all really proud and really pleased he is in our team," added the skipper.

"He's a top defender and a great lad to have around. He's been in and out the side and never moaned.

"He gets on with his job and comes in and produces top class performances."

Neville revealed that winning at the City of Manchester Stadium was particularly sweet because of his long tenure as a Manchester United player.

"I love winning here," he declared.

"The fans obviously don't like me here and I don't particularly like them because of the rivalry between the clubs.

"It's nice to get a victory."

With fellow Euro-hopefuls Portsmouth hitting Goodison on Sunday, Neville knows how important three points are.

"It's a massive game," he said "They are coming thick and fast and it's against our rivals.

"It's another must-win game."
