EPL: The game was depressing – Gary Neville fumes after Man Utd, City draw

Published on April 06, 2025 at 07:04 PM

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has said that the 0-0 draw with Manchester City left him “depressed.”

Neville was speaking to Sky Sports after the goalless draw at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The former defender was left unimpressed by the “robotic nature” of play and the lack of risk-taking to win football matches.

He said: “This robotic nature of not leaving our positions, of being micromanaged within an inch of our lives, of not having any freedom to take a risk to try and win a football match, it's becoming an illness in the game, it's becoming a disease in the game.

“Pep Guardiola and his teams over the last 10 years, that's what his teams do. But we're seeing poor imitations of that across the board now. United's goalkeeper rolling his foot on the ball and waiting for things to happen.

“That's not it, that's not what this club is, that's not what we do here. Liverpool don't do that. You've got to be a top team with tempo in your play, rhythm in your play, get the ball moving, shift it quickly.

“The game today really was quite depressing for me, because I think we've seen a lot of these types of games.

“And the Premier League is about excitement, it's about thrill, it's about risk. And there was nothing like that in that game, so that's not good enough.”
