Don't think Neville will be around long.... Moyes is a little different he had at least coached before, this experiment will be over pretty quickly as they are still getting pumped.


After reading Tim Cahill's autobiography, Moyes is a Reactive coach. This is the antithesis of the way the Spanish try to play football.

Why a Spanish club, Valencia, would have Moyes, who is a Reactive, not a Proactive coach, and Neville, who is also inexperienced as well, both of them trained by a poor national association, the FA, is perplexing?

there absolutely nothing in Domenech past game , that would suggest Domenech should be selected a head of Ryan

Domenech never played 1 minute of La Liga or cup football before this year, spent most of his time in Spain 3rd league ..Valencia fail to get past Gent from Belgium in Champion league with Domenech in goals , and if Valencia going to become a mid table La Liga team, then Ryan is better off going back to Club brugge


With ya there adrtho.

Valencia may end up getting slammed back to bottom of the table.

Nuno's treatment of Ryan was better.

If your manager doesn't back the player who the fuck else will ? Even if Maty is fighting fit and ready to play the game of his life can you see Neville taking a shine to him ? This is a big trucking problem.

Certainly Neville is not backing Maty one fucking bit. Which permeates through the entire team/league/fucking world

Massively get the fuck out of there Maty.

I'm losing respect for English football, first they screw their players, then they screw their managers, now they're screwing just about anybody/league. They obviously over rate themselves when it comes to football. Hope Neville crashes harder than Moyes


I take it you have seen a lot of Domenechs keeping over the last few years ? Take it you have streamed a fair few Spanish 3rd tier games of his as well as perhaps seeing him training day in, day out ?

Well I havent, so id be inclined to not comment in so much detail about the fella suffice to say the games I have seen him in this year he was fine.

In respect to Matty Ryan, I thought he was very good (not excellent) in the A League and obviously outstanding for Brugges. Now if you personally believe he is brilliant and his 'past' form for Brugges somehow warrants a walk up start then again thats your opinion.

Me, I'll leave the decision making to a man of enormous experience and who has these guys train before him and his coaching staff, in person (not the net) day in, day out.

and I dont even like the Nevilles...


big jump up from Spain 3rds to what was a top 8 team in Europe ...

you can be the greatest trainer in the world, it doesn't mean shit if you consistently underperform game day

what enormous experience does Neville have in managing a team? he never manage a team before..


he may never have managed a football team before and neither have you even left that couch of yours so of the two opinions Im going to have to say Gary Neville just shades you.

No hard feelings yeah ?


no..but seeing as you have the same opinion each time (the coach is right, and he knows best) there really no more you can ad on the subject


Well I wouldnt say I said he knows best

I just needed to emphasize he knows more than you.

Comprendes ? :d


you would think that the case, but that not how it work out..and to not question a 25 year old Spain 3rd league player who now being selected ahead of 2 time Belgian Pro league Goal Keeper of the year (23 year old Ryan) , and with Valencia mid table in Spain, and being knock out of a easy group in Champions League (Zenit, Gent, Lyon) all when Domenechs was in Goals

I guess we stop talking about football then :lol: :lol:


Edited by adrtho: 2/1/2016 01:40:25 AM


oh dear... running out of material so still desperately holding on to the Domenech being of the Spanish 3rd tier and Ryan being excellent for brugges and totally forgetting the present situation whereby a hugely experienced (that is far greater than me and perhaps even a smidge more than you) gaffer just doesnt rate him as highly as you.

That doesnt mean you need to take the posters down.


your argument is thin. just because someone is more experienced doesnt mean they make better decisions.

doesnt mean they make the best situational assessments. doesnt mean that they are free from the limitations of their own prejudices.

its smug and naive.


you know what mate

id still take Gary Nevilles opinion over two armchair critics in Australia.

I would go so far as to say as would the great majority of football followers in this world.

just the fact you two are still crying amuses me greatly..

carry on. :lol:

Having said that, seeing Luongo on Championship pine is just ridiculous.

I rate Rogic more important, but Luongo a more rounded player. You just can't ignore rogics match breaking ability. I wouldn't be surprised if he was in the top 10. Or in the top 100-200 even. Anyone know how long before he is able to do a full 90.

Ryan is better than a #3. Anywhere. This is career killing

We need a lot of players to move in January


And yet Rogic hasn't been able to do it against anyone other than a couple of pub teams is scotland

And right on cue.

#18 ****ed up. Commentators saying his being so far out of position he should be slaughtered by his own players.

Help me. I'm half cut. Was that goal through liverpools LB or RB?

That was great tracking back by Morino. The commentators are still giving it too him for staying down leading to that goal ( 21 seconds later 80 metres upfield)
