Thread | Gary Neville Comments re Manchester Derby

"The game was so robotic and it's symptomatic of a lot of games that we're watching nowadays."
"The best Man City and Man United teams would be very disappointed with the way they've approached the end of that game."
"It looks like it's Sunday afternoon and they're going to go for a roast dinner together now."
Being micromanaged within an inch of our lives, of not having any freedom to take a risk to go and try and win a football match, it's becoming a disease in the game."
"Pep Guardiola and his teams over the last 10 years, that's what his teams do."
"But we're seeing poor imitations of that across the board now. United's goalkeeper rolling his foot on the ball and waiting for things to happen.
"That's not it, that's not what this club is, that's not what we do here. Liverpool don't do that."
The game today really was quite depressing for me."
"And the Premier League is about excitement, it's about thrill, it's about risk. And there was nothing like that in that game, so that's not good enough."
Being honest I agree with a lot of what of he says. We saw a cracking game earlier between Fulham And Liverpool but that seems to be an exception rather then the rule.
I know things evolve and change over time but I do wonder if other people agree with his points or If I've now reached the the point in life where I've just turned into my Dad and become an old fogey.
