October 2012 STEVEN GERRARD has hit out at Everton captain Phil Neville for diving and told the former Manchester United player he let his club down during the Merseyside derby.

Neville, 35, received a yellow card for a blatant dive during Sunday’s incident-packed 2-2 draw at Goodison Park.

Everton manager David Moyes said before the game that he was concerned about Liverpool striker Luis Suarez’s history of diving, but it was Neville who was forced to apologise.

“His manager did every paper, every radio station and every TV channel talking about Luis Suarez,” said Liverpool captain Gerrard.

“Then his captain, who is meant to be setting an example, blatantly dives. If David Moyes is a real man and a real manager, which I think he is, then he will be speaking to Phil Neville about it.

“With what he said about Luis Suarez before, David Moyes was trying to get in the referee’s head.

“That’s all part of the game, stuff like that – but you don’t expect your captain to dive like that.

“I think Phil Neville badly let his manager down".
