For the first time ever I heard him making very very mild criticism of Rashford. Considering he was full on fire on Chelsea game that Martial Started at CF ahead of Rashford that's definitely a paradigm shift for someone like him.
Gary Neville
- Thread starter jymufc20
- Start date
He was on commentary comparing our attacking 6 players on the pitch at the time ( was probably in the last 15mins if I remember) with west ham's. Very bizarre considering we had martial, rashford, and pogba missing. Maybe he was pointing out at our lack of quality on the bench.
Ole is clueless. We need Wenger now to stir the ship. He would also have all the time needed to make a players report for the new board to work upon
Hahah ffs.
You want Wenger with same type of owners to Kroenke cnuts behind him!? Thats mad
Its a temporary role. Also he can't possibly do worse then cardiff
They barely got rid of him at Arsenal, he would never be a temporary option, he would get this season and if he manages to string few wins, our morons would jump a gun like they did with Ole and give him a new contract, then he would have a pre season where everyone would get a chance to prove themself for 15th time, not to mention he would know how be cute with our owners, God knows thats how he survived in Arsenal for so long, doing a scam, get top 4 and split money, Kroenke taking part and he gets a new contract for losing to Bayern 10:2 on agg. year in year out.
The fact you're not wumming is the most scary thing.
How about actually listening to what he says rather than inventing something?
Wenger 
We are digging below the bottom.
We are digging below the bottom.Who's talking about Wenger?Wenger
Wenger is not the answer.
We need fresh ideas as a club on and off the pitch, I don't see Wenger contributing to that. Bit of laughable suggestion to be honest.

Have him on ignore but yeah, agree with you about Wenger.
Neville is just a whiny little prick these days.....
when will he open his mouth about the Glazer mismanagement
only a moron would harp on about 900m when criticising this team...... Solskjaer has shed about 180m of underperforming players from the squad with none replaced
why not focus on that Gary?

Tried to suggest DDG was blameworthy for the fk going in. Then on replay when it was obvious that it wasn't, he comes out with 'he bent his hand back'. He literally got fingers to it.
Noble ran the fecking show. He could hardly give MOTM to Mata could he...
The one United player he criticised more than any other today - by a margin - was Marcus Rashford. How does that fit with the caf conspiracy theories?
It will be twisted as "Nationalist? Maybe not. Racist? You bet!!!"
Do you mind summarize what he said?
He’s trying to emphasise the complete waste of money we have spent whilst the camera is on Woodward. The one thing that does piss me off is he can never just say Woodward needs to go as he’s made a mess of everything. Because that’s the truth.
As for Noble being MOTM, that was probably about right. Both teams were garbage today.
Said he wasn’t making the right runs, criticised his movement, accused him of not working hard enough, then working hard when he didn’t need to. Said he was messing up a golden opportunity to establish himself as our main striker. Basically sustained criticism the whole time he was on the pitch. Brutal but fair.
Cheers @Pogue Mahone. Good to hear that.
Did he by any chance mean him leaning forward, breathing heavily and not pressing at all for 40 mins only to make a sprint over half the field to close the keeper down? That was ridiculous. Was pretty much at the end of the first half. Really made me wonder.
Talking about money spent over the past few years is a perfectly valid thing to say when we bring on a midfielder to play up front, in my view.
Neville is criticised by our fan base irrespective of what he says.
hes saying it to be sensationalist
because saying 70m net doesn't sound as good
because it's not sensational to provide context on the players Ole has lost. We spent around 180/200m on Lukaku, Sanchez, Darmian, Smalling, Herrera, Fellaini, Valencia with all leaving the club this summer and replaced by 3 good signings, a threadbare squad and a number of players not good enough to start for a top team.
Neville isnt a good pundit for me.... he's an eye on ratings in his analysis
He went on about that exact incident at length.
If you honestly think Neville is going to say live on air that our CEO needs to be sacked, you’re going to be eternally disappointed. No pundit would be stupid or thick enough to say something like that.
He can shove those 4 transfer windows up his you know what. Ole needs to earn his tenure. You don't just give someone 3 unquestioned years to see what happens when red flags are popping left and right in the interim
Glazer's puppet.
Let's be clear. I am only suggesting that Wenger would be a temp manager up until the end of the season. The guy has far more experience managing a team with shit players and an incompetent board then someone who had proven out of depth whenever given a permanent job in the EPL.
Don't take me wrong. If a top manager was available then I would go for him. Unfortunately there are very few managers around ready to take the management of the club at this point of season especially after our past disastrous transfer market campaign. If you take aside those who would probably consider the job ONLY if we give them a permanent role then that list becomes smaller.

Fair. One of the few times I agree with him.
I disagree. He's been eyeing for a job for quite some time, so beggars can't really be choosers at this point. Also I can see him consider the offer if we promise him a technical director role later on.
I am not thrilled with Wenger as our manager, even at a temp role. Unfortunately the options are somehow limited at this point. The guy knows the EPL inside out, he's not as defensive or as destructive as Mou is and he's quite experience managing a team with shit players and an incompetent board to match. Unlike Ole he's also a football manager.
He did, countless times actually.
That's Rashford almost every single match. You can only commentate on him so many times before stating the obivous. People do overanalyze every single thing Neville says. Don't listen to much to people who's job it is to speak on a whim. I work in this business and these specialists off camera aren't any less reactive than our match day thread. Shit this, shit that etc. Most of them just keep their opinions closer to themselves when they've had time to prepare a show.
People whining that he speaks the truth. I'd rather he did that than try to convince people we are good when quite clearly the problems are there. Why shouldn't he speak about it. Maybe he and us should just bury our heads in the sand like Liverpool have done the last 30 years..'next year is our year' etc.
The way he was giving stick to Rashford was digusting. Neville is the most anti-English pundit on TV. He'd never say that about Martial.
I don't even think it's about them being mates, Neville (and the rest of the CO92) have always been derangedly fixated on manager longevity, infact it seems to be a common theme for almost anyone who played under Fergie for an extended period.
Neville use to reguarly pelt Wenger for (in layman's terms) not doing his job properly yet when an Arsenal fan wanted a change of manager for the reasons he's been critisising Wenger for he got so triggered he lashed out at the fans channel.
Honestly I always felt Neville wanted to keep wenger as he wanted 1 less rival for United. His arguments made zero sense. Wenger keep making the same mistakes, no I dont believe things will change. But he should still keep his job because 10-15 years ago he did well. Now all his focus is on the board and not one criticism of his former team mate.
