Gary Neville Analysis on Arsenal v Spurs Frailties in defence.

[michaelden]

Well that's streets ahead of Sol Campbell's analysis. What a piss poor joke that was on MoTD

It's reiterating the same sentiment but Gary Neville has been a complete breath of fresh air in the world of punditry and highlights how fucking poor we've had it with the likes of Lawro, Townsend and Redknapp Jr, to name but three.

I saw this before the Villa City match and he continues to impress me. He just picks out bits that you never see.. like the bits about lennon cutting his run across and jumping through monreal's tackle to get in for the 2nd goal and also Bale looking at adebayors run for his goal and going the other way to get space before slotting home.

It basically just highlighted how tactical aware our forwards were and how Arsenal lack defensive 'togetherness'.

tactical awareness...thank you AVB

Enjoyed G. Neville on Sky this season.
He was very easy on arsenal last night he did say on Sunday he would not be too hard on them.

 

[SteveH]

When you listen to him, you begin to understand how a player with a clearly limited amount of ability could become an international performer at the highest level.

Fergie himself said that at every stage throughout his development Gary Neville was always the weakest technically, however by the end of each term he became the best. He should be an inspiration for all young players learning their trade

This ability to raise a player to the next level with good coaching seems to be something our current man is also very good at.

He was an embarrassment ,could barely string a sentence together.....and spent his entire time on Motd praising theo Walcott,who was shit.

 

[Adam456]

so can you please split out for me the title winning perspective bits from the bits that a non title winning player/coach/ supporter could see just so I understand the difference

I'm with you on this FG. In an employee appraisal you don't judge a person's work by their CV - you judge it on what they have actually done/delivered. If they write a report that an intern could have written then that's what it is. Regardless of their 'experience'.

His career gives him experience - well an angle really in the media world in which we live - but it should be noted that dozens of top managers never played at any level (e.g. Mourinho, AVB, Wenger) and many more had insignificant professional careers (e.g. Ferguson, Clough)

For what it's worth I do think he's a better pundit than most (the totally incorrect point that the red scum have more to lose from missing CL than the blues scum aside) but it's kind of in the same way that I think that butter beans taste better than chick peas

I have the webpage saved but don't have access to safari at work, could I send the file to someone?

 

[stokesy]

I've got it recorded on sky plus but no idea how to get it off there

I'm being Mr think this morning - what do you mean?

Dont think you can! But I'm not sure!

How can he of missed the point when he mentions it?

The guy with him makes that very point and Neville says he is a sweeper keeper but that if the ball is played correctly Lloris would not be able to get there.

Because that is true no matter if the defence steps up or drops back. A well weighted pass along with a great run will lead to a player getting through.

I think he underplays the impact that Lloris being so quick off his line has, as if you hold your line, which for the majority of the game we did, it means that players like Carzorla and Wilshire are reluctant to chip the ball into the space and let Walcott chase it, as they will just be conceeding possession in the most part.

we tend to disagree

 

[nicdic]

I thought he was a bit harsh on us. Our line always looked pretty comfortable, they knew where each other were and we hardly conceded any opportunities. Whereas we cut them open a fair few times.

Arsenal defense was playing too high, way too high, you just don't do that when your center backs are as slow as the statue of Thiery Henry outside the Emirates. But then I think the reason they did so is that they wouldn't allow Bale to be withing shooting range. Well that is the benefit for having a diverse playstyle.
