Gary Neville

[GifLord]

@GifLord

Can you post the video of him speaking after the Huddersfield goal, please. He talked for 2/3 minutes about how bad the team was.

Im on NBCSN. I'll try and find the recording later

 

[VeevaVee]

Revels in it? He’s just fuming at them and sick of it, like many of us are. State of these posts.

 

[Pronewbie]

He's fuming and rightly so.

 

[Ekeke]

What did he say? I'm not watching the Sky Sports broadcast. Assuming he said the players are fecking shit?

And that he doesnt enjoy anything about this team, that we play poor stuff, that huddersfield are more entertaining to watch, that the squad reminds him of the squad Spurs had when Pocchetino came in and changed the team piece by piece. That we should get rid of every part of the team and start over.

As bitter and moaning as the worst posters on here and giving none of the players who do try most of the time and do well most of the time no credit and suggesting its not worth keeping the few best players and using a scorched earth approach.

 

[devilish]

He's been spot on.

I rarely say it but true.

 

[Di Maria's angel]

I'd like to ask why our players actually put in effort during the first 10 or so games? It's bemusing to think they'd try then and not try now.

 

[Zoo]

He’s always making excuses for Rashford too.

Good man, please tag me!

He sounds like a child playing football manager, selling everyone who is nearly 30 years old.

Its particularly weird coming from someone who tried his hand at management and did far worse than Ole with these players when he was at Valencia. Sadly I watched his team and he embarrassed himself.

 

[crossy1686]

I hate this cnut with a passion and even disliked him as a player

You feeling okay?

 

[Ekeke]

So you think he shouldn't be a realist?

What players have tried most of the time and done well most of the time this season? Feck me.

Thats not a realist, thats a game of football manager. Name me 1 club that got rid of the entire squad and started over and did well

Ander, Shaw, Pogba. Maybe Smalling and Lindelof

Its only 4 or 5 players but they've been good enough over the season to be involved in the squad next season, not fired.

He sounds passionate and tired of us. No one’s looking to him for the answers. You take that part with a pinch of salt, and “sell the lot of them” is a regular fan exaggeration.

 

[stepic]

I can’t believe anyone watching this shitshow of a performance is actually being critical of Neville. it beggars belief

 

[Ekeke]

Then why is a hysterical childish fan being paid to commentate our matches? Honestly its far more annoying listening to him than watching us play. We've had a few moments which were decent today especially right before they scored. Neville has had no good moments today. He sounds like he's about to hurt himself after the match

 

[Ekeke]

No ones been suggesting that Shaw or Lindelof should be fired.

Ander is leaving for money and Pogba's head is clearly elsewhere as well. In a sane world Smalling would end up our fourth choice CB.

Neville is saying none of the squad is worth keeping, that we should start over. So if you think Gary Neville is no one, then I guess you're right. But its weird we have a thread about no one and that you're posting in it

 

[MDFC Manager]

He’s always making excuses for Rashford too.

Why wouldn't he.

 

[Mogget]

To be fair, it's not his job as a commentator to criticise a club or the players. He's there to commentate on the game. As a pundit, he can feel free to go to town on them but when he's commentating during a game he should keep it to himself.

 

[bosnian_red]

Oh yeah, I added a second post. If he's going to have a go, you may as well just take down the entire shambolic club. The players aren't as a big as a problem as people like to think.

If you look at our players, we arent any better than any of the other top 6. Not too much between United and Arsenal, Chelsea have other problems that drag them down but have the outstanding player in the league in Hazard so that helps them. In terms of players at our disposal, where we are in the league is pretty much right. Very little separating 3rd to 6th. There are other problems but when we're basically right where you would expect us to be based on what we have, then the blame lies elsewhere. Whoever was involved in building the squad like this with these players, Mourinho, Woodward, etc, it's on them.

 

[Ekeke]

There's this thing called hyperbole.

Yes, there's this thing called being hysterical and immature.

He may have played a part in Mourinho staying here longer than he should have earlier in the season.

They’re there to give their opinion. Not 100% facts bereft of personality. You don’t have to agree with everything either. He’s not even saying anything outlandish. Every bit was true other than the obvious exaggeration.

 

[Catt]

He's absolutely digging them out today, and so he should. Any fan of United has the right to be disgusted at this shite.

Don't know what he's saying but this is true.

 

[VeevaVee]

That’s by the by and still not his fault. I disagreed with a lot he said then, but I don’t have to hate him because of it. People seem to forget that.

 

[Ekeke]

He sounds like he hates this team because Mourinho is no longer there. As soon as Mourinho went he was fully blaming the players. Quietened down when we were playing well under Ole for a bunch of games and getting some good results. And now he's talking like these arent those same players who were doing well for a bit.

So it wasnt true at all and he had toxic things to say that are disrespectful to the players that have tried hard this season and have mostly done well and deserve to be at the club next year

Opinions can change. And obviously you’re not going to call all the players shit when they’re doing well. There’d be even more in here calling for his head if he did that.

There’s far too many players that have been disrespectful to all the fans for me to worry about whether Nevilles’s comments hurts the feelings of one or two to be honest. If anything those players should agree with him about their teammates.

 

[Withnail]

Neville is absolutely right. He’s talking like a fan - crazy that people on here ridicule him for showing some passion.

That's the problem. He's got a job and he's supposed to be impartial and commentating on the game objectively

 

[crossy1686]

He’s always making excuses for Rashford too.

We don't know what he's hearing from within the club. He obviously knows stuff that isn't common knowledge outside the club.

 

[VeevaVee]

That's the problem. He's got a job and he's supposed to be impartial and commentating on the game objectively

He’s not though. Why do people think that’s the job? He’s a guest commentator and a pundit. They don’t have to be impartial.

 

[crossy1686]

That's the problem. He's got a job and he's supposed to be impartial and commentating on the game objectively

No he's not supposed to be impartial, he's supposed to give his opinion and analysis on the game he's watching. He can be as partial as he likes. If you think commentators and pundits have been impartial before now you're mistaken, we just see and hear it now more often thanks to social media.

 

[Cassidy]

We don't know what he's hearing from within the club. He obviously knows stuff that isn't common knowledge outside the club.

We don't need to know that to see hes making excuses for the English lad.

He's not talking about their teammates. He's including them.

And that doesnt help fan perception when someone who is supposed to be professional is being completely unrealistic.

 

[Dan_F]

Sky clearly don’t want this. Basically every Liverpool game has Carragher and us Nev at the moment.

 

[OlesWheel]

He’s been spot on with his analysis of the team. Completely spineless.

 

[Ekeke]

No he's not supposed to be impartial, he's supposed to give his opinion and analysis on the game he's watching. He can be as partial as he likes. If you think commentators and pundits have been impartial before now you're mistaken, we just see and hear it now more often thanks to social media.

He isnt just giving his opinion on the match he's watching, he's saying to scrap this entire squad of players. Thats nothing to do with this match

Oh right Sky should just employ a load of fans to talk shite and moan over all the games in that case.

 

[MDFC Manager]

We don't know what he's hearing from within the club. He obviously knows stuff that isn't common knowledge outside the club.

With regards to Rashford, he's probably also watching a different game to the rest of us

 

[crossy1686]

He isnt just giving his opinion on the match he's watching, he's saying to scrap this entire squad of players. Thats nothing to do with this match

But that's a direct consequence of this match is it not? Pundits are supposed to create a narrative.

 

[crossy1686]

Yeah, hire a load of people from this place, they obviously know what they're talking about when it comes to playing at this level and running football clubs.
