Neville is talking out of his arse. Whose job is it to drill the defence and make sure everyone knows what they're doing? Who imposes discipline and motivation? Who defines the lines of communication and responsibilities? In short, why do all ninety-two clubs in the league even *have* managers? And how come Pulis could keep clean sheets and grind out results with similar, if not the same, players whereas Pardew ships five goals against the team that's bl**dy bottom? Unfortunately it's not just about the money but also about the availability of the right person. If we had wanted Benitez for example there was a moment in the summer we could have approached him but now he's firmly ensconced. On the other hand at the start of the season Allardyce had a job... Perhaps (Phil) Neville is paving the way for his brother's excuses. Or trying to explain away the arse of things he made at Valencia. Or perhaps he's just s***-stirring. Probably just typical United to be lumped in with the ilk of scholes and giggs. Have to wax lyrical about everything. Empty vessels make the loudest noise and all that

if your not reading that with a anti pardew stance in your head it makes sense. I'm not Pardew's biggest fan but again he has come out today and blamed the players. The buck stops with the leader. I was in America watching the game and it was quite interesting to get the views of true neutrals. I guess the way I look at it is that we had the same problems under Peter Taylor - conceding stupid goals. But he was a far more "neutral" personality. Pardew bigs himself up, no different to Allardyce (or any other manager) in that respect, but he isn't delivering and seems completely oblivious to the fact he might actually be part of the problem. So he is either too naive or too big headed, or a combination of both. Either way it's a dangerous combination.

As it's from the Alan Shearer school of punditry. That game finishes 3-1 it gets no mention, but the fact is it was an anomaly so the "experts" will comment on it. Half + our supporters are blaming Pardew much like with Bolaise they saw the bad as well as the sublimely good. You can take something in isolation - were there mistakes today - yes absolutely but it is indicative of a far greater problem. The mistakes are a symptom every bit as much as a cause. I don't think you can tar Neville with the same brush as Shearer. And as has been said by others - his analysis is fairly accurate. We really have not been outplayed in open play much this season it's set play defending that's letting us down. I'm not saying Pardew isn't responsible in part if not wholly. The only thing Neville missed is Delaney being dropped.

I think Delaney would have been key in getting some of the defence organised as he is quite an aggressive forthright player. Don't think we would have seen as many swansea goals had he featured today

Some would see constant defending of the indefensible as a weakness.

Delaney has been a good leader since Jedinak's game time became more and more limited.

I'm at a loss to explain why a defence with Scott Dann in now looks so clueless and is shipping so many goals. Does is not work with him and Tomkins? I don't think today would have happened with a Dann / Delaney defence. Is it lack of instruction from Pardew? Anyone who went today have any thoughts? Danny Murphy's point about not putting our best defender on Fer seemed pretty fair.

Danny Murphy asking why a Benteke marking their strongest / biggest threat in the box. That said really pathetic all round.

Danns been awful since HD came back from injury and if anyone deserves to be dropped it's him.

All Neville's analysis appeared to do was highlight the fact that Benteke had lost his man for 3 of the goals. Why are we relying on Benteke to defend as well as score our goals?
