Alongside an angry face emoji, one Twitter user asked: “Why is @GNev2 so negative towards @Everton!”
Another fan on social media added: “I think he is just a negative person.
“Just think everyday he must wake up everyday and think I’m a multimillionaire ‘what can I moan about today?’. The blokes just a moaner mate.”
Neville hit back as he slammed Everton’s poor record against the Gunners.
He wrote: “I mean you haven’t won at Arsenal for 24 year, you are crap in big matches (and I actually don’t want you to be).
“Your team shrink in nearly every big game I see and you ask me to talk you up!!”
Arsenal closed the gap on North London rivals Tottenham after picking up three points at the Emirates.

After the final whistle, Ancelotti backed up Neville’s claims as he urged his team to improve.
He said: “There was a good performance in front. We were good coming from the back, we had some good chances.
“Defensively, we were terrible. We have to improve. There were three goals we could have avoided.”
