Interesting he just called out Onana for being poor with his feet.
Gary Neville
- Thread starter jymufc20
- Start date
Favourite bit was when he was shocked Mainoo is our deepest midfielder.
funny isn't it. He's a fan at the end of the day and he's massively frustrated at us and it comes throughThe Antony/Mahrez quote as above was ridiculous though. Literally their only similarity is they are both left footed right wingers.
We all know he thinks very highly of his own opinions. He’s the leading authority on all things United after all.
Not really, some of his takes are simply wrong.
Why can't Neville just commentate on the match and not forever be going on about external stuff. Leave that stuff to your podcast.
I'm just here to watch 90 minutes of football
I'm just here to watch 90 minutes of football
Was pretty clear wasn't it?
He was saying he's not going to become a worldy, but could hit Mahrez type level.
Said its nothing to do with eth these performances
Neville randomly lamenting ETH's transfer record in the 70th minute. He's not wrong though.
Neville and Redknapp on Sky losing the run of themselves with that Forest win. "great" Forest performance? in reality they were impressive with how clinical they were with two goals two shots on target but along with United they very much played their part in one of the lowest quality games I've watched this season.
GNev as co commentator is a hard listen isn't it.
first half yeah, second half they were much better
He’s crap. Slightly better in the studio but still not great, rumour was in his early days at Sky he had someone feeding him talking points in his earpiece. I wouldn’t be surprised since I actually enjoyed listening to him back then, but have found him to be largely insufferable for a while now.
Hes a bellend
The comment is stupid and quite disrespectful to Mahrez tbh so no wonder fans are getting annoyed. To put it into perspective if Antony continues with the same level of performances after 10 seasons he'll end up with less G/A than Mahrez managed during Leicesters title winning season.
You will struggle to name 5 better right wingers in premier league history than Mahrez. You think Antony has shown anything to end up anywhere near that level.
That's pretty damn worldy to me.
I can’t understand what’s happening there though. They haven’t spent any transfer money in a few transfer windows
It reeks of the class of 92 not devoting as much to the club as they once did but I’d like to know the real story
so what is he supposed to say exactly, that Antony needs to look up to Bebe? Aaron Lennon? Who?
He’s simply trying to gauge a benchmark for a potential good winger that Utd can ask Antony to be like.
The negativity in our support base is astounding.
How dare he disrespect Mahrez! Mahrez plays for City, I have zero respect for him.
The guys a commentator on sky sports mate. The comment in general is doing the rounds on social media and everyone is talking about it and you can understand where they're coming from, whether you respect him or not is irrelevant. It's the equivalent of Carragher saying Nunez might not be a Ronaldo but could become a Rooney/RVN type player, pretty sure there'd be similar reaction.
Not often I disagree with Gary Neville in fairness, personally I’d be happy if he had a big stake in the club. From a business prospective he’s done very well in life. Lives and breaths United and only has the clubs interest at heart.
Rich person makes himself richer by investing with other rich people. It's not rocket science, just another 'high performance' wanker.
Gawd help us if he did. feck me
I think we all know Gary is the boss, the driving force.
That's not the way I interpreted it. I've never heard him say Anthony could be as good as Mahrez, more that he should model his game on him, mainly to mix his game up more to go on to his right side the way he does
Don't want to get into a debate with you about a top 5 tbh but the fact that you've had to include players that have played the majority of their time in the prem on the left kinda proves my point that it was a howler of a comparison. You should've included Hazard though if you included Lws.
lws?
Left wingers?
Try and keep up, Mahrez used to play for City
.
Agreed, not sure why everyone is overreacting to the comment. He even stated that he doesn't think Antony can be as good as Mahrez, just maybe he can watch him and model him. Tbf though, I saw the podcast not initial comment which everyone reacted to. Here's the one I watched:
He had a huge stake at Valencia, went pretty well
Hazard was always just a left winger. Bale, Mane and Sterling spent a fair amount of their careers on the right wing.
Add Robben and Kanchelskis for the right ahead of Mahrez
I didn't add Robben as iirc he only played on the left for Chelsea.
Kanchelskis I am not sure was actually better than Mahrez.
You're having a laugh, right?
As someone who watched kanchelskis week in week out I can assure he was
Nah. his peak was higher, played to a high standard for much longer and won much more.
Sadio Mane only played 16/17 as a right winger, all other seasons he was played predominantly as a lw. The only season Bale played as a right winger was his second stint at Spurs in 20/21. He has 17 total appearances in the premier league as a right winger. Sterling has the equivalent of 3 full seasons as a right winger in his whole career.
If you think that's enough to be considered above Mahrez overall as a right winger in the premier league that's your opinion and fair do's (I can kinda see it with Sterling). Personally I don't see it with Mane and especially Bale. Rooney has more apps at Attacking Mid than Bale/Mane have at right wing for example and he's never considered as an attacking mid neither is Giggs in Central Midfield etc..
