Gary Neville sparks outrage among Everton fans with an 18-word defense of Anthony Gordon. Following Gordon's late introduction in Newcastle's 1-1 Champions League draw with Barcelona, Neville claims, “He hasn’t got a history of not turning up.” Critics, including Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney, question Gordon's fitness after illness sidelined him from the start. Keane adds fuel to the fire, pointing out the absurdity of a player being too ill to start yet coming off the bench. He challenges Neville's defense by referencing a previous interview, suggesting bias. The controversy reignites memories of Gordon's tumultuous exit from Everton, where he reportedly refused to train before his £45m move to Newcastle. Gordon reflects on the fallout, asserting, “I didn’t care too much to change the perspective.” Tensions remain high as the fallout continues from this latest Premier League incident.
