Scripted from start to finish.

Two warriors bicep to bicep....
it’s a dreadful match with him and his scripted sermons and Neville with his girlish screams and “at this moment in time”x50
I remember a tweet at the start of the season saying we'd all be sick of him by the second week. How true that was.
I have no idea what he thought he was babbling on about, but it sounded like utter nonsense.
Sky in general are just minging.
He's a WWE commentator
He was randomly boning Thiago as some sort of Eriksen type of creative force when he came on
Come back Martin, all is forgiven ......
Insufferably cringe.
He is so bad, he knows what he is going to say hours before the game.
He is awful. Never liked his commentary and now that he's the main commentator on Sky it's becoming almost unlistenable to.
Why does he try to make himself sound so clever. It's like he's trying to rhyme everything, using needlessly impressive words in a vain attempt to add some extra gravitas to the moment. I reckon he eats a thesaurus before every match.
Just speak plainly you idiot. The best commentary is almost conversational. Martin Tyler did that and, while at times annoying in other ways, he was the mainstay and best commentator for decades. Darren Fletcher on BT Sport is also very good at that. Sky should poach him at some point.

He’s been contrived and garbage for years. Sad it took this long for people to notice.
Sky should’ve went all out for Tyldesley. Best in the business for me.
Yes, he's top notch. Why he's been left out in the cold I don't know.
Probably because he's 70 this year. Drury has also been around forever but is only in his mid-50s still.
A horrible commentator. The mute button is a must on matches he covers.
Agreed. Drury is just tiresome. It's like someone bringing a long, shit poem to the dinner table every day and reading it out.
Aye it’s bizarre. Even at ITV he’s been relegated to their commentary “B team” behind Sam fecking Matterface! Terrible decision.
Christ, I actually miss sleepy Martin Tyler.
I would prefer Jim Ross and even Michael Cole to this.
Two warriors bicep to bicep....
couldn’t watch the rest of the game until i’d finished myself off. it’s irresponsible commentary.
he’d have been worse today.
Football fans hate every commentator. There is no pleasing anybody.
It’s weird how excited everyone was when he got the gig
Didn't realise I thought this. What the feck was I smoking that day.
Two warriors bicep to bicep....
Bring back Tyler.
The liverbird has had it's wings clipped and referncing the Arsenal invincible spirit... plus many deliciously delivered phrases.
This guy is insufferable.
Referencing the potential Liverpool title win as the 'Utopian Klopp climax' had me reaching for the mute button.
I always used to like this guy but I think it's because only rarely heard him. Now he's the regular guy on sky, I've heard enough.
Think everybody feels the same. Tries every game to have another soundbite on the level of the Roma vs Barca game and simply wont be able to because its not natural.
Feels so rehearsed and scripted all the time.
That’s exactly my opinion too. Thought he was a good replacement for Tyler but about 2 weeks into the season I was done
The tiktok/Instagram folks seem to love him. That's all that matters I guess.
For the record I absolutely detest him

His Roma goal commentary, the CR7 return commentary and the Messi world cup winning ones are fine. But now everything is a poetic journey even if it's just a corner being given
Almost as cringe as whatever commentator said "and Solskjear has won it" after the PSG win.

Narrating a funeral at full time. Embarrassing.
A couple of new ones today.
3-0
"Liverpool on a serene sunshine cruise"
4-0 - Elliotts goal.
"A diamond of a goal from Harvey Elliott, sweet and precious. Frame it and stick it on the mantlepiece of his life"
He's insufferable and actually makes games more unwatchable than Tyler.

A couple of years ago when everyone was wetting themselves silly over him I told everyone that he's contrived and couldn't lace Peter Brackley's boots.
I thought he was a great change from Tyler at the start of the season, but the more games you games you watch with him on commentary the more he just grates with the overly contrived wordy bullshit. I will watch any other channel I can now rather that listen to him.
Peter Brackley was brilliant, football Italia and PES with him on it, good times.
Throwing now, on the far touchline. There's a certain poetry to even the simplest acts in football, this canvas of green that awaits yet another stroke of intent. The ball, back in play, arcs through the chill, floodlit air—a humble pass, but every pass, every move, holds the whisper of potential. Looking to weave their narrative into the tapestry of the game, as the crowd watches, breath held, in the cool evening's embrace. Here, in this moment, the beautiful game continues, uninterrupted by the grandeur of goals but no less significant.
A team when they are taking a throw in.
