GARY NEVILLE AND Jamie Carragher were back on Monday Night Football last night for the first time this season and they didn’t disappoint. The two guys were heavily praised for their tactical breakdowns last season, as well as their love/hate relationship that often yields some great slags between the pair.
Their discussion of Louis Van Gaal’s 3-5-2 formation last night was great television as Neville and Carragher broke down the system and clashed on whether United need specialist players at the wing back and outside centre back positions.
One great part, which wasn’t captured in this video, is when they showed footage of the 3-5-2 played by Van Gaal’s Champions League-winning Ajax side. We’ll throw this video in just so you don’t miss out. Try looking at the name’s in that team without salivating.
