Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted August 21, 2021 Subscriber Posted August 21, 2021 Neville brings up how bad United is even when hes not commenting on games. Its definitely tiring to hear but I don't think he's been too flattering on them recently.

I don't hear it from Carragher hence why I think he's just as biased as McManaman, and therefore it's not great to listen to. It's like Savage on Leicester games. Hate it. On other games he's okay to listen to but he speaks like he knows about the ins and outs of Leicester and comes up with some proper crap on occasions. You can tell when a co-commentator just reads off a stats list and he's one of them. Carragher was over critical of Liverpool last season, coming out with shite like 'mentality midgets'

It bothers me when they go totally overboard about it, much like McManaman does. And as a neutral, it's not what you want to hear. If there's a co-commentator for the other side doing the same, then yeah it evens out. But Sky and BT do it all too regularly where there's the main commentators and usually just one co-comm for one of the bigger sides. I don't want him to pretend or fake to be a neutral. I'd rather he just isn't ultra-biased.

Administrator Stan Posted August 21, 2021 Author Administrator Posted August 21, 2021 Anyway, regarding the actual game, I think there's only so long Burnley can continue with their route-one tactic lumping it up to Wood and Barnes, and occasionally using McNeil as an alternative target to get on the ball. Liverpool's midfield is too savvy to pick up the 2nd balls and/or pressure them. Burnley bypassing their own midfield will work against them.
DeadLinesman Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 Was that Salah decision clear? Thought he might benefit from the new rules on that one.
Administrator Batard Posted August 21, 2021 Administrator Posted August 21, 2021 Liverpool seem really open in centre-mid, who's supposed to be anchoring in front of the back 4?
Rick Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 When Neville talks about England players is when he is at his worst. Calling Harry Kane a saint just screams his bias.

The line was right at his feet. Sure they'll discuss it at half-time and when the replay came up he actually looked onside to me but they didn't see it that way.

There looked to be daylight between both lines (I know that's not the rule but it meant it wasn't that tight I guess).

Rick Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 Think we might see Thiago for Elliott sooner rather than later. Losing the ball too easily in midfield.
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted August 21, 2021 Subscriber Posted August 21, 2021 Wow the defense went to sleep. Luckily it was an offside.
Toinho Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 Great start by Burnley but clearly offside. Proof Liverpool are still in for a game here!
Dr. Gonzo Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 Thank god that was offside because that was pretty shit defending

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 21, 2021 Subscriber Posted August 21, 2021 Burnley did well in the first half although their defending on the goal was amateur level stuff. The main difference between the sides here has been the quality in the final third. Burnley getting more than their fair share of the midfield battles.
Administrator Stan Posted August 21, 2021 Author Administrator Posted August 21, 2021 Brilliant play all round then. Elliott a greatt cross, Salah's composure to get the shot away and McNeil's defensive work to block the shot on goal.
Toinho Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 Mane perhaps should’ve passed that and Pope isn’t as good as he is in FIFA hey
Administrator Stan Posted August 21, 2021 Author Administrator Posted August 21, 2021 Liverpool getting in to their groove again. Pressure on. Wouldn't be surprised if the next goal comes in the next 5-10mins.
