Phil Neville says Everton have a duty to cause FA Cup upset at Chelsea

Phil Neville has admitted Everton need to produce an FA Cup upset at Chelsea on Saturday to compensate their supporters for the atrocious performance against Bolton Wanderers. The FA Cup represents the last chance of redemption for Everton, who face a fourth-round replay at Stamford Bridge, in a season that is drifting towards a fight for Premier League survival. David Moyes's side are just three points clear of the relegation zone having produced what their manager described as the worst performance of his nine-year tenure in Sunday's 2-0 defeat at the Reebok. Moyes took full responsibility for the Bolton debacle but Neville, the Everton captain, insisted the players share culpability and owe it to the club's supporters to deliver a vast improvement at the home of the champions. "It is a collective thing," said Neville. "It wasn't good enough and we don't need anyone to tell us that it wasn't good enough. We have got an FA Cup tie at the weekend and we have got to pick ourselves up. We are going to take a lot of supporters down to London and we need to give them something to shout about because one win and then a couple of losses isn't good enough." The Everton manager was incensed by Sunday's abject display and openly questioned the attitude and commitment of a team who have delivered only six wins in 26 league games this season. Louis Saha, the club's in-form striker, will again be absent against Chelsea with a hamstring injury suffered in training last week. Neville added: "The bottom line is we didn't perform. We all take responsibility and that wasn't good enough. We need to be better. We have an outstanding group of players but we just didn't produce."
