Gary Neville

Club should genuinely refuse him any from of media access beyond what's contractually obligated.

Spent the whole game begging for red cards, penalties, bans, 'Bruno's just put his hands up demanding to come off, it's disgraceful, just disgusting, embarrassing'.

It's got to the point where he tries so hard to create these weird narratives and issues that it's more funny/confusing than anything deeper than that.

Yep, he tries so hard to seem objective.
 
Going on about those on the pitch have lost their head and are an embarrassment, take a look in the mirror
 
He would never have dared to behave like this if Fergie was in charge. What a muppet he is now.

Listen to him on the overlap, the guy is always right.

Off the top of my head
  • The Shaw v Darwin thing got his standard "Oooooooooooooooooh that's naughty. Oooooooooooooh Shaw's really lost his head there." Made it sound like he'd drop-kicked Darwin in the neck instead of the reality where he waddled over beside him for a few seconds.
  • "Ooooooooooooooooh Bruno's put his hands on the linesman. He could be in big trouble here."
  • Trying to act like McTominay had intentionally 'done' Gakpo, while Carragher of all people defended him.
  • Instantly called for a penalty to be given against Shaw in the last few minutes. Again Carragher was the one saying it wasn't. Neville relented after a replay.
  • General Bruno derangement for a long time now.
Just actively creates narratives that hurt us in the long term.
 
It's strange how most former Liverpool players who go into punditry don't even try to hide their biases and preferences. Meanwhile ours go out of their way to try to be perceived as "impartial", even if that means the pendulum has to swing to the other side.
 
I think it's fair to have a go at the team when they put in a performance like that. Having said that, Carragher is a much better pundit than him in general I reckon - he's much more balanced and level-headed with his opinions in most cases.

Carragher is easily better. Neville just talks and talks and talks but never comes to the point. Bored of watching the Overlap, he loves his own voice so much.
 
"I can't see United getting beat here today".
Literally about 45seconds later we go 2-0 down and get not just beaten, but annihilated.

Seeing us getting utterly pumped and listening to his "go too far the other way to try and sound neutral" schtick really is pure hell.

I wouldn't know, he was so quiet during the the match beating off after every goal.
 
He literally thinks we should have a red card, or 2,and concede a penalty every single week. The shaw thing on nunez was absolutely nothing in fact arguably nunez should have been in trouble.

He shouldn't be on United games

So outraged by Bruno holding his face but doesn't utter a sound when Robertson did the same
 
He's gotten worse the longer he's been in the job. Both commentary and punditry. Adds nothing of value anymore. Fixates on one or two irrelevant things and goes on and on about it.

He also is clearly blind. Cannot see anything.

This is the most important part though. He is absolutely awful at catching the most obvious things and his first instinct about a decision is almost always wrong. The painful part is him struggling to walk it back even after the replays make it clear he was wrong.

Forgot about that one...also reminded me how he started obsessing from the 15th minute onward about us 'timewasting' and insisting it was a deliberate tactic, then ignoring Liverpool taking 40 seconds on three consecutive throw-ins (which also wasn't timewasting)

Do you know why he would be more outraged at seeing it from Bruno than Robertson though? He's just said it in the studio again, and he's bang on in his criticism of the players and Bruno specifically.

We were delaying things in the first 15 mins though, and its the sensible thing to do. He wasnt criticising it as a tactic.

But Bruno did get a bang in the jaw? It simply wasn’t the chest as Gary claimed.
 
Gary Neville was a red. Now he’s just a self-centred bellend who’s more concerned with his little empire and public image than anything else.

I didnt think it was but could be wrong, what he said in the studio was right, he was the captain of the team today and was anything but a leader on the pitch.

Im not talking about the studio. Im talking about in play commentary where he has 2 sets of rules for each team. Robertsons was absolutely pathetic and not even near his face. Nunez should have been in trouble with Shaw, shaw was then pulled to ground and neville saw a Liverpool penalty. He does this every week. We had clearly onside goals lately that he actually questioned the var lines off. Its a bizarre over correction and he is quite plainly not capable of being an impartial commentator

He's furious with the result and it showed in his reactions to the goals, I suspect he might still be a fan.

Of course he is still a fan, don't know why Utd fans expect or want him to be Paddy Crerand.
 
Neville‘s voice getting higher and higher ….sounds like a girl

Lower part of the jaw, it’s the area boxers try to hit to rock their opponent for a reason.
Not saying it’s a boxers punch or anything but momentum is a factor as well. Look at UFC and some of their knockouts look weird and weak, it’s just force, precision all coming into play.
Not saying he didn’t go down easy but getting slapped in the jaw isn’t pleasant nor is everybody’s reaction the same when they do get slapped there.
Gary said it was his chest and simply never changed his mind when replays showed differently which has become a huge flaw of Gary’s

There are times where I think he gives extra digs to United players in the hope of sounding more impartial, but this was literally a historically poor result and he didn't say much I disagreed with during the game.
 
Getting a bit uncomfortable to watch this now, got the Liverpool contingent (including the girl) really WUMing hard

Him trying so desperately not to be Paddy Crerand is the issue when the scouse pricks him on there are shameless about it.
 
The only thing that could make this day of days worse is having to sit next to Carragher and Souness with the eyes of the nation on you. My heart goes out to him.

I do tend to agree and i find myself doing that as a fan and i think thats his problem. If Casemiro does a bad pass and Fabinho does the same bad pass, i'd be more critical of Casemiro because i care more about his passes and i watch him more closely. Its his job to try and be impartial but he's United through and through and in the heat of the moment, i think the fan side of him often takes over.
