Gary Neville’s punditry deteriorated into at best into fantasy last night as he berated Davinson Sanchez who, believe it or not, didn’t have a complete howler of a game. Mind you, we live in troubling times. Tottenham’s backline hasn’t been truly settled since Kyle Walker left. Oh, and that’s a fact. Not opinion.
Judging by the analysis yardstick employed by some, Sanchez is dreadful, yet Gareth Bale is still worth a nice run of games to recapture his form, despite 6 months of floating about Hotspur Way like the Sugar Plum Fairy.
Here’s the video, apologies for the cut on the tape – but you can clearly hear Neville begin his “I am bemused by him. What is he doing? He is so rash! Stay on your feet.” line.
The former Manchester United man’s words do not match the action is he describing. That is the really troubling issue, I mean, surely a pundit’s commentary needs to be appropriate to what we’re all watching?
I take a view that so many commentary gurus are now past their best by date. ‘And we’re live!’ and much more all needs a big freshen up.
