I've seen a behind the scenes documentary of a MNF and Neville basically spends the whole day going through the major incidences of the weekend and looking at tactical aspects, deciding what he's going to use.
Gary Neville is Ron Jaworski

I could listen to Neville all day, he's such an informed , knowledgeable pundit. Very genuine.
Gary Neville has been great as a pundit and some of his insight is fantastic compared to what we see on other channels. His analysis as mentioned on City v spuds was good and So was the interesting points he made about Suarez's free kick.
I know the MOTD team say they don't get the time that they do on Sky but sure they could do a condensed version of what Neville and Carragher do (although Carragher's voice does grate).
Fed up of Hansen and shearer just telling us what we have already seen and know.
Neville can also be both informative and concise when he needs to be. He could do a far better job on his own on MOTD than 'the team' do.

UKR means that so called real football they play in America where, virtually, no one kicks the ball with their feet!
If you lot are seriously suggesting that Red Nev is a better pundit than my hero Garth Crooks then you're bonkers.
No no that would be heresy. Garth is the God Zeus of football punditry!
The throw-in thing winds me up. I haven't seen a side lose so many of their own throw-ins as we do. We may as well just flip a coin.
I reckon we must quickly lose posession on about 80% of our throw ins.

I reckon it is only 75.4%.
BT's lot are a load of gubbins.
Who are the BT pundits?
We have BT Sport free courtesy of BT Broadband, but to be honest, I forget about it most of the time.
Somebody somewhere wrote that Neville's approach to punditry is similar to his approach to games - not the most talented player (or charismatic tv presenter) but he worked hard and most importantly did his homework. Apparently when he was playing he'd spend ages studying his opponents, and like someone said a few posts back, he does the same preparing his punditry.
Neville is a top top pundit, people have been saying this for a while now in fairness.
Amuses me you get that from him and yet the analysis is so basic from other ex England players on MOTD. Is it just time constraints or are they told to dumb down to the viewer on there?
I think it is just that he tries to do it well and others are there for the pay check.
What puzzles me is as assistant boss with England, he must give Roy some real insight at times, and yet we have looked tactically poor in several games.
Not sure where the Neville worship comes from, I think he just states the obvious. Its a simple game.

It is the comparison to the other pundits on TV.
In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.

The players love playing their 4-4-2 in their straight lines is the problem i think.
