He's a good co-commentator. He doesn't really tell you anything you don't already know, but he provides enthusiasm to the spectacle, which is important, particularly when a game is a dead rubber. Leave the micro-analysis to the guys in the studio, you don't really need that in a co-com. The ones that do micro-analyse tend to be the duller co-commentators anyway.
He's seemed a bit biased towards us recently, perhaps because of his gushing over Ronaldo, but it hasn't always been that way. I remember in the LvG and Mourinho years, he was sticking the boot in quite a lot.
Pleased for him though, that clip from before the game was brilliant.
