Justin time 155 Posted December 11, 2021 Surprise surprise , he says that any other team in the league would have taken something from the game and even suggests that beloved Brentford will cause them problems and maybe even win. No credit what so ever Tw@. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No credit what so ever Tw@. Is he not right. City’s striking options are abysmal, Pukki and Sergeant are no up to the job, and yes with a top class striker city wouldn’t have been on the end of a 1 0 defeat.

cambridgeshire canary 4,991 Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) And he's right. Well, except for the bit about Brentford. Edited December 11, 2021 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big O 175 Posted December 11, 2021 We do look incredibly short or attacking options. Pukki apart we look very toothless. Our only chance is getting Rashica, Cantwell and Normann firing and Tzolis to be a genuine wilcard off the bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hank shoots Skyler 1,992 Posted December 11, 2021 But we have an issue with converting chances, Brentford do not (not close to the same extent), is it not a fair point? Basically ‘concede these chances against a side that converts their chances and United won’t win’? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Van wink 2,994 Posted December 11, 2021 Disrespectful and not that accurate to be honest, when he himself awarded MOTM to De Gea it’s quite clear that the keeper kept them in the game. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No credit what so ever Tw@. IMO Gary Neville is very definitely one of the better pundits and don't think many will find that remark even slightly controversial as he's probably called it right - I think most of us would struggle to remember a poorer MU side than that.

king canary 5,905 Posted December 11, 2021 I thought he was far worse than Shearer against Newcastle- it wasn't that I felt he was against us, just that he didn't remotely care that there was another, non-Manchester United team on the pitch. All his analysis was about United, what they were doing, how they were struggling, we might as well have not been there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also highlights our inability to put the ball in the net though. 8 goals in 16 games is an awful return I don't disagree. Doesn't change the fact Neville, like most "top professional" pundits doesn't seem to bother with cursory research on the lesser teams, yet gets away with it because sycophants suggest he is just "telling it like it is".
