Best pundit of all time if we're going to be honest.

Psh, watch NBC during the Olympics and you would know what bias really is. Gary Neville is awesome. Like Bhends, more I listen to him, more impressed I am.

I ask because it is possible that he simply doesnt think its a good system without him being bias.
I mean, lets get some actual material here rather than "he hates league x, y and z"
"I think that Chelsea deserve to be winning here"
Dont remember the game to be fair...but that doesnt seem so bad. It sounds bias no doubt though.

He was very biased throughout the whole match as well but I haven't really seen other games with him as commentator so maybe it was just one incident

His voice and accent are super annoying though.

G. Nev is doing great.
But, I still miss Andy Gray. Say what you want, his Super Sunday- The Last Word was brilliant football analysis for some of the weekends games.
Thank God G. Nev does this on MNF.

Gary and Phil to go into joint management in two years time, take over from fergie in 3 or 4, lovely.
Re: Garry Neville is Impressive but not so more than Jamie Redknapp
I'm gonna go somewhat against the grain here. I admire Neville due to the fact he's United through and through, but as a pundit, he winds me up at times. Mainly due to the fact he OTT criticizes United to come across as impartial and neutral at times.
He undoubtly knows what he's talking about and is up there with Souness as the best pundit on TV. But I'm still pissed off with him with the way he harshly criticized De gea for Spurs' equalizer at WHL. it resulted in the media to react like sheep and run with their anti DDG stigma.
I also don't like the fact he always holds back to saying anything negative towards players in the England national team, due to him being part of the coaching set up. You think he would said what he said about DDG if Hart had made the same mistake? not a chance! On Wednesday, he was jokingly playing off the assault Carroll made on DDG saying 'That's what Carroll's game is all about". Give me a break, Neville!
Top pundit, but i find he has his flaws.

Tbh i still don't think Andy Gray has been replaced....
I think Neville is better at the whole analysis game but Gray was better at the banter part of it. ( probably helped that his relationship with Keys was probably better)
Also Gray shits all over Neville as a commentator, they really need to replace Gray the commentator because as insightful as Neville's analysis is his commentary is meh at best.

Andy Gray was an amazing commentator. Agree with molly that he has not been replaced
Martin Tyler has had over 15 different Co commentators. None of them have taken the permanent role.

Agreed. Him and Keys were a dynasty when they were on the air together. The perfect blend of 'what a fan is thinking' and 'how the players think and behave.' Neville is having to do that on his own at the moment and it's shocking to watch that he's the only one who is actually worth listening to.
As for commentary, there's no way they can ever replace Andy Gray, simply because of his partnership with Martin Tyler. Those two...

Re: Garry Neville is Impressive but not so more than Jamie Redknapp
"You can see the way in which Jose Mourinho is taking this team," he added.
"You can see it in this last month or so; Willian and Hazard have energy, desire, power and strength. We are seeing it with our eyes. Tonight he left Oscar out because he's got players in the team like Ramires who was big tonight.
"When you put a world-class centre-forward in that team, which I'm sure Chelsea will do in the summer, you have got a real top-class team on your hands.
"Jose Mourinho has said they are not quite there yet and thinks Manchester City are still ahead of them; I can't disagree with him, but they're not far behind. They are coming on the right lines - for what he wants anyway.
"Would he tolerate a David Silva? I don't think he would. You see Willian and Hazard and the way in which they work and the work of Ramires tonight. I think Chelsea were brilliant all night.
"Full-backs have got to be wingers and wingers have got to be full-backs. There's no excuse any more. There is too much evidence in the way the game is going to say 'we will have a luxury player on the left or right'. Unfortunately not - not at the top level.
"There's a lot of evidence in the last 12 months, watching Dortmund and watching Munich and tonight with Chelsea; that's the way the game is going."

Along the lines of great commentators, John Motson deserves a serious honourable mention.

Re: Garry Neville is Impressive but not so more than Jamie Redknapp
The death of an ex-playing TV pundit is when he continually says: "In my day it was like this - and it was better". I find myself feeling that the Premier League is a far superior place than when I set out in 1992 - but one area of slippage is defending, as Sunday's Manchester derby may illustrate.
Both clubs have amassed a vast array of firepower. Yet each is currently struggling to balance defence with attack at a time of huge change in the way the game is played.
If you look at the Premier League goalscoring chart, it bursts into the thousands from 2010 on. There were 942 goals in 2009 and 1052 last season. That's a huge shift. Once you have a five-year trend of more goals being conceded and more scored it starts to look irreversible. It points to a permanent change in the sport.
With old school coaches, 60-70 per cent of your training ground work would be defensive. Where your foot would be, the position of your hips, how often you would have to turn your head to avoid ball-watching. I compare it to a musician stripping a song back to its elements.
I started off with a high defensive base. Players now are starting out with a high technical grounding and learn the defending later.
Bear with me while I take you back to the United youth teams I played in - because it sheds light on the point I am trying to make. What follows is the 'in-my-day' section.
Under Eric Harrison and Nobby Stiles we would do back-four work two or three times a week for 40 minutes. Conceding a goal in those sessions was seen as a crime. We would regularly do one v one defending, with the best attackers - Paul Scholes, David Beckham, Keith Gillespie, Ryan Giggs or Ben Thornley - running at the defenders time after time. You had to be able to stop them, or Eric would give his customary: "Aaagh!"
We did a game called man-to-man marking, down the whole length of the pitch, whereby you could tackle only that man. What it came down to was recovery runs when you gave the ball away. If your man scored you would embarrass your whole team and there was no hiding place. Those were the uncomfortable psychological moments you were dragged into.
We did a heading game. Eric Harrison was brutal with it. He would put Scholes, Beckham and Robbie Savage against us defenders and you could score only with your head. So you were continually doing heading practice and being tested in back-fours.
With England, I worked under a great coach in Don Howe, who was Terry Venables's defensive expert. He talked to me specifically about my feet and head movements. He would employ physios to lift up different coloured bibs on the opposite side to where the attack was coming. You could see the four defenders synchronizing their head movements. We had to shout the colour of the bib. If you failed, Don would yell: "You're ball watching!"
Don had a strong voice. I remember us conceding a goal against Japan in the Umbro Cup in my first game for England. Terry Venables was telling us how well we youngsters had done when Don cut him off and said: "Whoa, you may be happy, but I'm not. We conceded a goal from a set piece and that's ridiculous. We worked on that in training."
In youth team football I had problems one-on-one with moving my hips. I was quite stiff. United sent me to a mobility coach who worked on my feet movements: how close they needed to be to the ground to increase traction. We were taken into Eric Harrison's office to study the defending of Maldini and Costacurta in the great AC Milan team.
Each time we watched the senior United team at Old Trafford, Eric would ask us to come back with verbal reports of mistakes that had been made, with and without the ball. We had to watch the game with an eye on what Paul Parker or Steve Bruce were doing.
My era of men who retired around 2009-2010 were the last crop of predominantly defensively-trained players. Coaching has shot off in another direction, towards the technical. I've had that confirmed by people at academies. The technical and attacking work is now around 80 per cent with 20 per cent reserved for defensive skills.
Plainly the rule changes have contributed. Constraints on tackling have made it tougher for defenders. Grappling in the penalty area is hot news this week so you can expect that to be stamped out.
The minimum standards have dropped sharply. When I was brought through from 1991-94, if a full-back allowed a cross it was a crime. Nowadays it barely seems to register.
According to Opta, in the first year of the 20-team top league 79 defenders played more than 30 games. Now you're down to 44. So everything we talk about with defences - telepathy, consistency, playing together regularly - starts to break down. United's back-four, for example, is ever changing. But I see no road back to the old ways. It's like the guy who loves Ceefax pining for its return in the face of the internet. It's not coming back.
'Screening players' have not offset these fundamental changes to the way defences work. A Patrick Vieira of 10 years ago is now a Mikel Arteta. A Roy Keane is now a Daley Blind. And a Bryan Robson for England is now a Jack Wilshere.
It's not the fault of the players. Wingers are full-backs, centre backs are central midfielders, goalkeepers are sweepers, No 10s are central midfielders and wingers are centre-forwards. You're talking about a completely different game.
I look at some teams and feel: they don't know how to defend. They struggle with crosses, they don't deal with set-pieces, they don't know how to work one on one. They have a weak understanding of the game. When I look at players now we're comparing apples and pears.
We always interpret "philosophy" as the attacking style. We never read into that the defensive approach. Sergio Aguero scores goals where he cuts inside and scores with his right foot. I think: why did the defender not show him his left foot? Sometimes the basic attention to defending is not there.
The last thing I ever wanted to be was an "In my day" kind of pundit. But I'll have to change my mindset. It's not the fault of the players that what we would call "proper defending" is not uppermost in their thinking. I am a product of Eric Harrison, of Don Howe. I tend to look at every goal from a defensive point of view.
The speed of the game is so much greater. The technical level is fantastic. It's electrifying. And perhaps the very bold formations and big scorelines of the 1940s and 50s are what we are heading back to. Maybe attacking football was in hibernation during the 70s, 80s and 90s, when organisation and structure prevailed. Maybe now we are seeing football as it was intended.

I thought it was a pretty interesting piece. I think it certainly applies to Liverpool, our defending is just too disorganized nowadays.
