O'Neill enjoys dig at Man Utd legend Neville over England defence

Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill has enjoyed a dig at England assistant coach Gary Neville.

The former Aston Villa boss was left unimpressed by Roy Hodgson's back-four against Italy and took aim at ex-Manchester United fullback Gary Neville.

"...might just be a timely reminder to Gary Neville that the game is a lot easier on a big screen than it is when you're actually playing it.

"This isn't just a problem England have encountered, it's happening every single day at club level. Managers and coaches - the brightest in the world - never seem to be able to get it right."
