Watched the post-match analysis/reaction tonight on YouTube, and thought he was quite insightful and interesting to listen to tbf.

Thought it was quite noticeable how simple he put everything, but it all made sense. Whereas Neville in particular seemed to be over-complicating everything he said to make himself appear smart, even though it was actually %@#$&!s.

Souness literally has no idea about anything.

Good to see the cracked one still has the forum on strings.

The bit about principles of the game vs tactics?

Wonder how many times he could say "it depends" until the rest worked out that he tweaked his approach based on whether the players he had at his disposal were actually smart enough to understand those basics?

Nev was almost insistent that Jose sent teams out defensively, while he was trying to explain (as you say, simply) that it was dependent on whether he had a side that understood how to be compact & how to have some idea of where a move might break down / loss of posession and how to react.

Was good stuff, but that doesn't work in a soundbite in the studio at HT. SKY just had him in as bait until the discussion.

There were various things he said that went over peoples heads or were ignored. Getting a high level manager as a pundit is an underused approach on TV for some reason. Surprised Wenger hasn’t been used either.

The dull line about attacking and getting caught being naive was a planned debate clearly to pander to Mourinho but he tried to emphasise that attacking teams still need to be coached to prepare well for transitions. It’s not about naivety it’s about being competent in your style. Hence him holding City in such high regard.

Looking forward to Mou Mou's return tbh. He's not supposed to be sat in a studio spelling the basics out to Nev and Carra.

He's supposed to be at Carrington spelling the basics out to Fred.

Mou coming back and finishing what he started

It’s what dreams are made of and I think it would unify this place too.
