Gary Neville - Pundit

[KingCavani]

I agree with him personally.

Seriously.

We know Rangnick was in contact with the staff on Friday as we heard he was watching training.

Do people really think he couldn’t communicate something to Carrick?

Do people really think Carrick would tell him no knowing that this is his project know and that he’ll be working under Ralf?

I think it’s exactly what happened. Ralf has put the word in to try and do certain things, lets him evaluate who is effective. The team and play style is inexplicable otherwise.

 

[Rook]

He'd be such a millstone around the clubs neck if he hadn't made it so abundantly clear how little he knows.

 

[Berbaclass]

We're standing off most of the time.

When the keeper has the ball they are pressing really high and aggressive. You just saw Bruno there pointing at Rashford to get in the right position.

Absolutely.

 

[Chairman Steve]

So is he having a go at Rangnick already? Or is he just being objectively observant? The tone of his tweets doesnt really suggest that he’s rubbishing the approach.

I find it weird he’s not involved in our TV game. He’s usually about for our big games and any big games on Sky.

 

[Buchan]

He’s going to be super-arsey about Rangnick personally and the team’s performances, isn’t he? To spend the last three years completely oblivious (at least in public) to our previous manager’s shortcomings and to suddenly adopt a position of incredible-insight-with-a-healthy-dose-of-sarcasm is particularly cnutish.

Give it a rest, eh, Gaz?

There is nothing nefarious in anything he said and this place is just obsessed with shitting on all he does for some bizarre reason.

 

[UnsungHero]

The point isn't whether it's true or not, his tone of "don't blame Carrick when we lose" doesn't seem helpful. At all.

Ah lads, stop complaining

 

[Adisa]

Would be bizarre for a coach that has never met the players to be managing the team from a hotel.
This sounds like conspiracy bollocks.

Probably is but you put 2+2 together and it could be very plausible.

 

[Zlatan 7]

You’d swear Neville had done the milk round around some of your places and had a go on your missus the way you make shit up to have a go at him

 

[lsd]

That's our entire midfield. Who else would he select going forward before the transfer window?

It's reactive football three players that are only useful of the ball if at all.

From what I know if Rangnick he likes players on the ball passing forward.

Surely Donny would be more his style

He'd still have to pair up with at least one of the others

Interested to see if he does his podcast today

Probably, but that's not unique to Neville. Feels like United is the last bastion of running a big football club the English way and the erosion of that will lead to most English pundits having some sort of slant against Rangnick unless he immediately excels.

That being said, Neville's point here is probably right. I'd assume Rangnick has had some influence on the training during the week, the team selection and how they're playing today. He's probably using this match and the next to evaluate the abilities of this coaching staff as much as the abilities of the players.

No, he isn't. Neville gets an erection every time he talks about Biesla. He'll love Rangnick.

Luckily, Neville is much less biased than Buchan off the internet.

He could be talking about the weather and there'd still be people twisting that into fitting some agenda.

Basically, any opinion from somebody on the Caf will somehow be twisted into getting undermined by Neville. It's a an incredibly stupid way to look at the world, and even weirder that anybody would want to put Neville on a pedestal in the first place.

 

[glazed]

Ralfy is on a top four bonus. Of course he's all over this six pointer.

Wherever he is, I hope Rangnick has a good stream.

It's kind of funny.

 

[Dante]

If Neville had given McTominay the MOTM, I think the Caf would have exploded.

What do you think Neville would have done had he been there?

Tbh I think the reaction would have been the same as the twitter video. The argument between Keane and Carragher was very odd.

Started waffling about LVG & Jose probably

i wouldn't be at all surprised if he influenced the selection

 

[crossy1686]

Don't get the Neville hate going on in here at the moment. I didn't see him doing any punditry yesterday, probably had a few and watched the game, got a bit excited (like the rest of us) about what might happen under Rangnick and sent a few Tweet's.

Some of you forget that despite his position, he's still just a bloke who supports United and wants what's best for the team.

Does he? If he had his way Moyes would still be here.

It's hilarious how so many on here think they genuinely love the club more than Gary Neville

 

[lsd]

How on earth could Rangnick pick a team when he has never even been here nor seen any of the players?

Complete stupidity by Neville

 

[Superden]

Because carrick said so? What did anyone expect him to say? It would be far more ridiculous if RR had nothing to do with what happened on Sunday.

As opposed to Gary Neville sitting on the sidelines?

A concept lost on some people in here.

Wish Gary had lost his job on the same day as Ole.

Not saying Rangnick had anything to do with anything but how is what Carrick said proof of anything at all...Rangnick has not even been announced yet...Carrick can’t confirm it post match. Also, how amateurish does that make us look if he does confirm it?

like I said...it may not be but it is realistic that Carrick has spoken to Rangnick being that the sounds around the club are that they want Carrick kept on...andto learn from the guy...so it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that Rangnick spoke to him about the setup etc. And Carrick made the right decision to start getting the lads ready for what was coming ASAP. In fact Bailey confirmed the dressing room had been told about the new manager.

To think there was no correlation at all is just as preposterous imo.
