Gary Neville

I know Keane was better but Bruno is better than most, if not all, of our current players.
I mean we were winning all around us when Keane was berating every man and his dog. That stuff works when you're winning. It's tragic and counter productive and the opposite of leadership when you're not.
 
Gary is intelligent and speaks about the bigger picture. He makes a lot of sense wondering why these managers and players keep failing. Culture swamps strategy.

He is right, but he does have a blind spot when it comes to managers. He wanted to give Ole more and more time when it was clear he wasn't up to the job. The truth is that both the behind the scenes stuff and the manager can both be failing at the same time - it doesn't need to be one or the other as he tries to paint it. Eventually he will admit the obvious with ETH, but will throw loads of caveats about how he is still correct about the ownership etc. Which he is.
 
It would have been a yellow card if he wasn't already booked
Not every foul is a yellow card. The referee didn’t say anything to Hannibal yet according to Neville he should definitely be off
 
Asking for a red for two nothing fouls :lol: Imagine how many times Nev would have been sent off.
 
You can hear when he sees a replay and knows his initial reaction was wrong but he simply refuses to correct himself. There’s a little stutter every time.

It's never a yellow. If it was counter attack then fine, but it was standard foul on half way line. Nothing more.
 
Yeah at it again. Loves running down our players and driving a narrative.

Trying to please his Sky overlords.

In the context of this game though - Considering what he just booked Casemiro for (pretty inocuous foul), and what Hannibal's first booking was for (not much) then yeah, that could have been a booking.

When you think about it like that, yeah. But it would still be wrong because it's pretty soft criteria that we don't see on other pitches then.

It would be like giving 5 yellow cards for diving - you can do it in pretty much every game, but no referee really does it.
 
Disagree. It was a nothing challenge, it’s only a discussion because he’s on a yellow imo

That’s not a yellow card

I didn't even think it was a that much of a foul personally, he didn't catch him, but for the ref to give the foul, I'm assuming he thought hannibal caught the Newcastle players ankle, which is usually a yellow.

He did but he didn't change his mind when he saw the replay as usual.
 
You wouldn’t think this prick ever played for us the way he speaks about the club, yes he has to be impartial but FFS he sticks the knife in at every opportunity.
 
Why can't this knob take a night off, why is he doing midweek carabao cup games ffs. Don't care about his commentary, just despise him more generally.

Unlike everyone on here. We're a total mess and he's been a lifelong fan and played during an era of total domination. For him it must be even worse than for most fans.

When will some of you realise this is football forum and some people just come to vent here and have some discussion, and hardly anyone would use live television for that like Gary Neville is doing?
 
He’s absolutely pathetic. If you didn’t know better you’d think he’d played for Liverpool. He absolutely loves running down our players and at the same time can’t take his nose out of Klopp or Peps arse. For a player who I once adored playing for United I cannot stand what he has become.

Yeah you are right, no one should call the club out publicly. Good point.
 
Very annoying having to hear him scapegoating one of our young players who, in a very poor half for the team actually managed to do a few decent things unlike his much more senior teammates
 
He's just more interested in being ultra negative towards United than anything else, it's just really goddamn weird.
 
What the feck are you all talking about were fecking shit and he's saying it how it is.
 
I hate Gary Neville commentating on our matches, he is so ABU its embarrasing.

I couldnt believe how desperate he was for Hannibal to be sent off.
 
Why the feck did he go on about Hannibal the whole half who made 2 fouls, the second where he didn't even get a talking to, and stayed out of trouble the rest of it. Does he want him not to even try to win the ball back at 2 down
Of course not, he's curly haired. Needs to know his place whether other players would get booked or not in those situations.

Because it is dumb football, as usual from Hannibal. He is one soft foul away from getting sent off.

And we see the repercussions of that in the first goal because he was too scared to put in a tackle on Livramento. Let him run 60 yards.

He will be taken off at half time.
 
Oh ffs. He's what? ABU? Anti foreigner? None of you lot watched Hannibal clatter into that 2nd challenge having just picked up a deserved yellow with baited breath? He's said feck all wrong.

What a dumb comment.

He is the one endlessly putting the blame at The Glazers, when you have Keane, Carragher and everyone else in the media blaming the manager and players.

Yes and he is wrong, whats happening on the pitch isnt the owners of the highers ups fault its the managers fault.

If that was a second challenge from a Newcastle player, the caf would be demanding a red card and a 12 game ban.

Hannibal lucky to be on the field. He will be taken off at half time because he is totally ineffective once on a yellow. Couldn't make a challenge for the first goal was ball watching and let Hall free for the second.
This is exactly why he cant be trusted.
 
It's pretty hard to be positive about us lets be honest.

To be fair, that's absolutely not what I'm getting at.... it literally took him about 2 minutes after that Lewis Hall goal to say it was actually a really good strike, before it he'd spent 2 minutes destroying anyone in a United shirt, and some of it was just absurdly trivial too, some of it wasn't sure, but yeah. It's just not good commentary.
