You got it, if only some Scouse pundits would take note.He's just doing his job, trying to as impartial as possible.

I do find Neville entertaining but this is certainly trueand likewise, your last point. Although people will diversify in the extreme, online, Gary does tend to swing one way and then the other with zero self-awareness.
Apart from him being complimentary of our performance for much of the half apart from the points where Villa were on top. It’s almost like he was reacting to what was happening in real time and commentating on it.He really overdoes the “neutrality” requirement, doesn’t he? If you’d just switched on five minutes before half-time, you’d be led to believe by Nev that United had played poorly and were very fortunate to be ahead.
Said no one everNeville is quality. He talks sense.
Except when talking about United.Neville is quality. He talks sense.
Oh feck me I feel old10 years ago today, Gary Neville played his last game for us.
Time flies!
When Pogba dummied the ball for Fred? Wouldn’t have been mentioned if it was another player....or if Bruno it would have been brilliant vision etc etc.He’s full of shit tbh. He decided after 10 mins that Villa were the better team then the graphic came up that we had 10 attempts whilst they had 2. Also Pogba has brought a lot of attention on himself but the way Neville patronises him every game in how he should play football is cringeworthy.

That dummy was great football and if it goes in it’s one of the great PL goals. To be fair any footballer - and I include goalkeepers - should have a good chance of scoring coming on, unchallenged, to a perfectly weighted pass 18 yards out. It was either clever by Pogba to leave it or a good shout from Fred but could have easily resulted in a classic goal.When Pogba dummied the ball for Fred?

It was poor from Pogba, he should have taken the shot on, he knows he's a better striker of the ball than Fred is. But this is the main issue with Pogba, he doesn't take responsibility, he'd rather someone else have a go and feck it up and let them get the stick than have a go himself and get stick when he misses.When Pogba dummied the ball for Fred?

Hahaha but thanks for highlighting exactly the problem with Neville saying what he said and then you repeating it word for word.It was poor from Pogba, he should have taken the shot on, he knows he's a better striker of the ball than Fred is.

Yep...it’s usually interpreted that way isn’t it....except when it’s Neville and Pogba. We as a team do this sort of thing a lot around the edge of the box also.That dummy was great football and if it goes in it’s one of the great PL goals.

Sky probably encourage it tbh, they love all that “fan banter” stuff because it gets people watching and tweeting.His social media activity is just stupid, acting like we were top before the Villa game then popping champagne corks when we were joint top. He may be winding other people up but it just makes himself look stupid. Just brings unnecessary pressure onto the team as well.
Does Paul Scholes dummy that for Ji-Sung Park?Hahaha but thanks for highlighting exactly the problem with Neville saying what he said and then you repeating it word for word.

It’s a ridiculous argument to try and blame Pogba. If Fred does what any professional footballer (let alone one who cost £50m) does in that situation and at least hits the target then Pogba would be rightly praised for creating a great chance.Does Paul Scholes dummy that for Ji-Sung Park?
It also looked a bit behind Paul which made the decision easierNeville managed to turn it into a poor decision by Pogba
I’m sure you could find an example of Scholes dummying a pass on the edge of the box....can’t guarantee it was to Park....I’m mean that’s a very specific set of circumstances you’re asking about right there.Does Paul Scholes dummy that for Ji-Sung Park?
No one's blaming anyone, and I don't understand why Neville can't express an opinion where the better technical player should have really taken a shot and most of the time would have. You'd think he called Pogba a fecking donkey the way people are carrying on in this thread. For every person that thinks Pogba did the right thing, there are also people who think he should have smashed it because he's better at that than Fred who only has 1 goal to his name, we saw Pogba do it at West Ham.It’s a ridiculous argument to try and blame Pogba.

I’ve been a big critic of Pogba but I’ve no issue with him passing up a difficult chance to create a better chance for a teammate
It’s an absolutely nothing thing to point out in commentary is the Issue, some might think it was the better thing to do, others might think it would’ve been better for him to shoot. Neither were great chances, absolute sitters It’s just meh either way, I’d guess Pogba got a shout from Fred, it’s just normal, nothing. Yet Neville for some reason decides to spend 30 seconds talking about Pogba dummying a pass on the edge of the box leading to a chance for Fred. It’s absolutely bizarre.No one's blaming anyone, and I don't understand why Neville can't express an opinion where the better technical player should have really taken a shot and most of the time would have.

Anyway, it appears you can't say anything about Pogba without being bombarded. No one's saying he's shit, in fact he was one of our best players last night, I just simply think he should have shot and apparently so does Neville so I guess we used to be red's and now we're not anymore.
I think people are incapable of understanding that if he commentated/did his punditry as a fan he wouldn't last very long at all!I've literally no idea what people have against Nev, do they want him to never criticise United? I think he usually calls it fairly
Phil Thompson got away with it for long enough to be fair.I think people are incapable of understanding that if he commentated/did his punditry as a fan he wouldn't last very long at all!
He'll be enjoying us winning as much as anyone.
He wasn't ever a co-commentator though was he?Phil Thompson got away with it for long enough to be fair.
Excuse him for having an opinion.Neville managed to turn it into a poor decision by Pogba
