Gary Neville - Pundit

If this is the case then why does he spend 90% more time talking about United underachieving than he does about Spurs?
 

If we are talking about players that are likely fit to play the final, I can't think of any of our players that clearly get into the Spurs side other than Bruno and Amad. Possibly Mazraoui over Porro, but they have very different qualities.
 
He’s a strange one. The way he always talks down his ability too. I don’t know if he thinks it’ll make him more likeable but it just comes off weird.

Do you think that is partly because you watch us a lot more, so you know how poor some of our players have been this season. Whereas with Spurs we don't watch as much so are looking more at the names and what they have done in the past?

Because from what I've seen of them, players with big reputations like Son, Romero, Porro, Bissouma.. have been utterly terrible this season. Certainly as bad, if not worse than, Garnacho, Dalot, de Ligt, Ugarte...

Yeah, that's possible. To be fair, I would have included De Ligt over Romero as well, if the former was fit to play. Son is on the decline but still has double digit goals and assists this season, and we know the technical quality he has. Porro and Bissouma are definitely up for discussion.
 
I do agree with him that I have a sickly feeling ahead of next week. The fact that Spurs have beaten us 3 times and at times with players missing hasn't helped and they have had the wool over us with most of the same set of players.

Nobody beats Man Utd 4 times in a row :)
 
I am not sure if is he trying so hard not to be bias that he's now coming across as a total ABU.
Either way.....shut the fcuk up Gary you are just becoming boring now

Yeah, I am worried about Son, especially if he ends up playing up against Lindelof. But I'm reassured that Spurs are even worse than us in the league, and they don't even have the excuse of a manager trying to shoehorn players into an unsuitable system, so their players must have been really bad this year.
 
Yes Gary, give me every member of that Spurs defence that has conceded 59 goals and lost 20 games.
 
I genuinely think it's time to ex-communicate him from anything to do with the club. He had a very, very long leash given his achievements as a player, but some of the stuff he's come away with recently is borderline psychotic. Has he been watching casemiro recently? Hes been brilliant, and won more in one season with real madrid than the entire tottenham midfield has won in their career, yet Bissouma and sarr would start ahead of him? Come off it Gary, its far too tiresome.

In the careful, measured tempo of European matches, he has. He can't survive in the Premier League anymore. The trophies he won years ago with another infinitely superior team in another league means nothing to his current ability.

It's utterly bizarre.

The way he talks about himself is so odd, he was England's best right back for 10 years plus and a mainstay in the dominant team of the era. He wouldn't have been Utd's first choice right back for 15 years under Fergie if he wasn't a really good player. Yeah he wasn't one of the star players but he played an important role.

Constantly talking himself down means you get players like Micah Richards, who was a completely average nothing player that was basically semi retired by his mid 20s, genuinely thinking he was better than Neville. Neville was far better than Carragher and won about triple the amount of medals Carragher did but it's now like Carragher was some PL great and Neville was some no mark.

Very strange.
 
This team has broken him. Every time he has talked us up in the last ten years he falls flat on his face. And then he has to go on TV and talk about Man City and Liverpool winning trophies. It's bad enough being a fan right now, but imagine it being your job to talk about the terrible football and total indifference we see every week. And it just gets worse year in year out. Even in one of the last overlaps Carragher was having a go at him that we'd finish 17 and Neville stood up for them only for them to lose miserably to a shockingly poor West Ham.

I can't listen to him commentate, he's a moan and always has been going back to when he'd sigh at missed passes during youth cup games on mutv. I wish sky wouldn't have him on any United games. But he's not doing it out of malice he's doing it because it hurts him to see United like this. Not everyone is out to get us.

He thinks that Trent Alexander-Arnold, who can’t even defend, is somehow a better right-back than him. It’s like, have some fecking self-respect, man.

I paid no attention to carragher at all while he wa splaying, he was a nobody really. Weird how he’s been turned into a prem legend and his word taken as gospel
 
so tell me in which way is he wrong? Who else would walk into the Spurs team?

I’m talking in general. However in relation to the Spurs/Utd combined eleven I don’t disagree with him too much but I’m taking Amad over Johnson all day long, there’s probably a couple more if I actually thought about it.

De Ligt over Romero too.

It was a nonsense statement said to create headlines. That's all he's about anymore.

They've scored 20 more goals than us this season, Romero and Van De Venn have been injured for large parts too, it's not to outrageous to say what he said imo, if only for entertainment alone you'd say Spurs have been more value than we have, we haven't scored in what 11/12 games maybe more this season

Depends what means that "would walk"? He must be clearly better or if it is debatable (50:50) then Spurs player stays?
If it is "clearly better" criteria then only Bruno, Amad, Solanke and VDV are 4 players who clearly stand out on their positions. For all other players we can debate.
For me;
Dalot is better than Porro who can't defend at all, Casemiro is (still) better than Bentancur, Garnacho is better than this version of Son. And it is complicated to talk about Yoro/Romero.

Neville is frustrated that we didn't get British manager (as he said few days ago) and now he is pissing on Ruben and players every single time. Most of clubs would ban him long time ago. Only United allows you to shit on you and at the same time have full access in club area.

Yeah, I’ve always thought Romero and VDV get overrated. Romero is a hothead and walking red card and VDV relies on his pace to get him out of trouble all the time. Pace is a great attribute to have as a centre back though for that reason and I do prefer him to Romero.

Aye, purely hyperbole from Neville. You see way he talks about the likes of Rashford and Sancho later on in the video and you’d never know these are players deemed not good enough and have been sent out on loan to get them away from the squad, Carragher rightly calls him out on it.
 
If he didn't make sensational/ridiculous statements, he wouldn't be hired by places like sky sports. The guy is a super failed manager and yet he preaches about team management and coaching.
 
He is quite off most of times regarding judging players (or better said I disagree with his views) and he should not talk in such style regarding the players of his team, at the end of the day all of these United Legends are mostly riding their own dick, no matter how bad current team is playing and it's tiring.

Leaving this aside, apparently De Light, Yoro, Harry are clearly above Romero and Van de Ve and Neville it's the only with over the top views?. Come on, let's agree to disagree, yet Neville should never talk in such style involving every player and being so blunt.
