On my NBC commentary they said today was our 26th different back 4 combination and 12th CB pairing this season, it's no wonder we're a shambles half the time!
What is wrong with you?
He is biased against us when doing comms.
It's okay mate, admitting that Neville can be a twat sometimes will not kill you....
Some posters will simply never understand this otherwise rather simple point, no point wasting your energy.
I feel sorry for the poor sod who had to work out that stat.
They have to. Imagine how bad he'd be if he got a sniff of the club freezing him out. He already causes enough negativity around the club and that's with him fully onside. I don't think for a minute he means to btw, he just can't stop talking, can't stop being negative when things are going bad and inadvertently making things worse around the fanbase, etc. I fully believe that when we finally do get things right no one will be happier than him.
Great video that, interesting watching them at work particularly Drury.
A better way of understanding it is that the haters are bigger wankers than he is
Yeah hes trying too hard to please other clubs fans. You can do that or appear neutral without trying too hard.
Yep really true. He used to be an insightful pundit.
There was nothing obvious about it, he didn’t mention it being a tactical instruction at all, so much so that Carragher had to mention it twice in defence of Kobbie, all the while Neville ignored Carragher and continued his rant about the ‘basics’.
He was talking specifically for this game. He said Utd have 8, arguably 9 of their starting 11 playing so can't be making excuses.
I watched the podcast after the match on YouTube and he makes it clear that there must be a tactical instruction, Mainoo scored a great goal but his overall performance wasn't that good, but he wasn't the only one, that first half was one of the most inept performances I've ever seen, some of the passing would made a schoolboy team embarrassed
We have some very soft fans who can’t stand someone saying something they don’t want to hear
You can see plain as day on the Overlap. Neville loves a narrative and he will spin the feck out of a narrative if no-one opposes him, which is what normally happens. A few weeks ago Neville was spinning some weird narrative about 90's Liverpool and United players (something about Liverpool players staying out late on nights out as opposed to United players and that proved how United players were much more focused) and Keane immediately disagreed and Neville backed off from it
He said that and moments later we equalised and then went ahead. Slap it right up him. He is poisoning united fans heads (for those nieve enough to believe what he says) with negative crap.
There are a lot of criticisms of Neville, especially concerning his game commentary, that are absolutely justified.
What's wrong with his in game commentary? People want more personality and honesty in football and then when people say what's on their mind (right or wrong) everyone gets up in arms about it. You can have these opinion pundits or we can go back to the boring tropes or Peter Drury trying to squeeze Old Testament quotes into football matches. The problem is that for some reason people think Neville has some sort of influence when he speaks, the reality is that he's in in the entertainment industry and he's encouraged to speak his mind because it's good tv.
It's terrible and biased.
Biased against or for United?
Against usually to try and be 'neutral'
