Phil Neville struggled to count from one to four while talking on 'The Debate'
Neville was talking about Ross Barkley's future as he stumbled while counting on Thursday
Neville was heard saying: 'I think so, there was a period at Everton where the supporters got on his back, he was a local kid and look I thought he tried... I thought he was trying too hard at times.
'He so desperately wanted to, 1: score goals, 1: play well, 1: be the star and 2... 4: play for England.'
And as you'd expect, those on social media were quick to jump on his back with some brutal tweets.
One Twitter user, called @StupidPundits, wrote: 'Phil Neville using the classic 1, 1, 1, 2, 4 counting approach. Always good at maths were you, Phil.'
After his blunder, the 40-year-old received a brutal trolling all over social media
This social media thought Neville's counting was like someone performing a sound check
Many social media users were quick to troll the 40-year-old following his blunder
Another user, @eddo75, tweeted: '1-1, 1-1, 1-1 - Phil Neville doing a sound check', while @GraemeJ_83 said: 'Phil Neville making a great contribution here, added real value by using the 1, 1, 1, 2, 4 approach to listing his points.'
And the trolling didn't stop there unfortunately for Neville. @FoxyN77 wrote: 'My youngest is still in nappies but can count better than Phil Neville.'
For many users, they just couldn't stop watching the video of Neville making the blunder, with @Chlo_G saying: 'Phil Neville here, counting like a true champion. I just keep hitting replay.'
