These Liverpool fans have been discussing Gary Neville after the pundit praised Roberto Firmino and Liverpool.
When Gary Neville was on Sky Sports speaking after Liverpool’s 1-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur, the pundit said (as relayed by The Redmen TV on Twitter) when talking on Sky Sports:
“The whole defence is outstanding. The goalkeeper is brilliant. They’re doing everything that a Championship team should be doing and I can’t see anybody stopping them now.”
When talking about Roberto Firmino, he even stated that:
“Any manager in the world would have him”.
Liverpool had 66.8% of the ball against Spurs, which goes to show how much they deserved to walk away with all three points.
Here’s what the Liverpool fans had to say about Neville’s comments on Twitter:

He barely EVER says anything fair about @LFC long overdue if you ask me !? but well see if hes still singing from that song sheet when we play Utd, he’ll be back to his usual liverpool loathing, green really is your colour gary ??

Neville’s come to terms with Liverpool being the best, in a mature manner, despite his understandable loathing of the situation. Class from him.

Wow never thought he’d say it. Perhaps he thinks his best bet is to make them feel comfortable and complacent

It takes near perfection to get Neville to admit what is obvious reality to most. What an absolute tool!

Do you have more respect for Gary Neville now?
Yes
No
These fans clearly feel the praise from Gary Neville is a rarity, but how can anybody deny a team’s great win against a top side like Tottenham Hotspur.
He knows greatness when he sees it. Fair play to him

It’s amazing how many fans (non LFC) and pundits have only picked up how good Bobby is in the last 2 seasons!

And it’s killing him inside

What Do We Think?
It’s obviously Neville’s job to have an opinion, meaning you can’t really hate on him too much, as annoying as it must get sometimes considering his affinity with Manchester United.
What was good to see is that this honest bit of praise didn’t go unnoticed by the Liverpool fans, as it would be easy to hate on someone all the time, so fair play to the Reds fans for also praising Neville.
