Gary Neville: I’ll Never Publicly Call For Arsene Wenger’s Head

Gary Neville refuses to place blame on Arsene Wenger…

Gary Neville has stated that he’ll never publically criticise Arsene Wenger and certainly won’t be calling for him to lose his job regardless of what happens on the pitch.

Neville ripped into the players during our embarrassing 4-0, questioning their attitude and application as they trodded across the pitch while receiving a battering.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Aaron Ramsey, Granit Xhaka, Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez were the players he picked out for particular criticism.

“The issue today I had in the first 15 or 20 mins – and why I was as scathing I was – is because [Mesut] Ozil, [Alexis] Sanchez, [Alex] Oxlade-Chamberlain, Xhaka, Ramsey, they didn’t do most basic things I think every fan, manager, and player knows,” the Man United legend said on Sky Sports.

“When the ball goes past you and it goes towards your goal and your team-mates are struggling, you run back as quickly as you can.

“[The Wenger question] was raging all the way through last season. I’m still adamant I wanted to see Arsene Wenger at the football club – I don’t change that, I never will and ultimately that’s just a level of respect from my point of view,” Neville admitted.

The fact that he’s openly admitted to pre-meditated bias towards Wenger when he’s under justifiable scrutiny is rather bizarre.

If you intend on doing your job, Gary, there’s no way to skip past the Wenger issue if you’re sincere about getting to the root of our tactical issues.
