Everton captain Phil Neville hits out at tough schedule of three matches in six days
Phil Neville 300[LNB]PHIL NEVILLE has labelled Everton's gruelling run of three games in six days as 'nothing short of a disgrace' - but has backed the Blues to come through the exhausting series of fixtures with the character which has epitomised the club in recent seasons.[LNB]Everton play Bolton tomorrow, the meat in a League and Cup sandwich made even more difficult by a debilitating injury list, before travelling to Tottenham in the Carling Cup barely 48 hours later.[LNB]Neville rapped: 'The fact we are playing on Tuesday is nothing short of a disgrace.[LNB]'Someone has taken that decision in an office somewhere not bothered what Everton want or the fact that we want to win the Carling Cup.[LNB]'But that's something out of our control. We've handled situations like that in the past and we'll do it again.'[LNB]Manager David Moyes is also bitterly disappointed by the Carling Cup organisers, accusing them of showing a lack of respect to a club which reached the semi-final of the competition two seasons ago.[LNB]'I find the lack of respect we have been shown by the Carling Cup organisers really disappointing,' he said. 'My philosophy has always been to try to put our best teams in whatever competition we enter but we've been asked to play Tottenham at White Hart Lane on a Tuesday night after playing the previous Thursday and Sunday.[LNB]'I am aware that other clubs will have a similar scenario, but they haven't got games on Thursday and again on the Sunday.
