Gary Neville

Neville's best period came after Beckham left and he actively worked more on his crossing and defensively he was engaged constantly because he knew he had to cover Ronaldo. He was genuinely up there with the best RB's in Europe from 2003-2007 until the big injury which effectively ended him.

But before that, he was a bit of a liability, he would get caught out a lot when he was the back post defender. I don't think it was any secret that SAF was sniffing around Zanetti and Sagnol at the turn of the millennium. It was an obvious area to upgrade.

Thank you, add there Serghino, Lizarazu, Cafu (dream pipe)

Fergie wasn't idiot but he rarely got his wishes from "abroad" . And finally when he got Veron, it was meh. I liked Veron so much. He was joy to watch.

He should have go 433 with him.
 
Desperately trying to form a narrative that the goal shouldn't have stood because Casemiro was potentially offside ages before the corner. He's not a United supporter.
 
Just said he can't blame cash for going down. He clearly dived and got casemiro booked.

His must go against us at all costs is getting tiresome, I'd rather carragher commentate on our games.
 
If it was Bruno who had dived like Cash, ol' Gary would've been frothing at the mouth. Talksport would dedicate an entire phone in to discuss it

He doesn’t have to be a supporter, he just has to stop being stupid.
 
Another half where he managed to talk through his hole for most of it. Some of the things he said were incredible, especially when Casemiro got booked for what was a clear Cash dive.
 
He almost started crying when Leon Bailey didn’t shoot first time
 
Can't blame Cash for diving.

Top tier commentary, Gary. Carry on, lad! Sounds deflated that we are winning. Getting real tiresome now.
 
How can he sound so disappointed whenever we score, or our opponent misses chances?

Bringing up the soft free kick before the goal was so weird, he shouldn't ever commentate on United games.

There is no way that is even mentioned, let alone given any sort of analysis, if Villa scored from the exact same situation.
 
He gets so excited when the opposition get close to the goal and shoot over and it’s silence when we do.
Villa have had so many positions that nothing happened yet it’s conveyed the the viewer that they’re peppering our goal
 
Talks like he's constipated. Should consider eating more fiber.

He’s not as bad as you lot make out. He’s more of a United supporter than 99% of this forum. Are you all ignoring him praising Onana and dalot in first half? Just picking little bits you don’t like?
 
This utter bellend tries to claim Luiz was doing a dance for the home end.
 
Can’t stand him on our games. Just constantly wills the opposition on.
 
Repeatedly crying about how shocked he is that Rashford was subbed, how it was a strange/bad decision (even though Rashford spent the half completely selling out his teammates out of possession) while claiming he was 'by far' our most dangerous player second half (a half where he broke down nearly every attack, slowed the play down and passed backwards when 1v1 with a full-back on a booking).

He's way too invested in the relationships he needs to maintain in order to get access to certain players. Completely incapable of calling things accurately.

Glad he's calling out Onana and Maguire for standing there aimlessly with the ball at their feet. Not enough commentators pick up on that. So frustrating when the clock is ticking and you need a goal.
 
Oh look, it looks like Neville does like us after all. Surprise for some of you
