Arsenal's Arsene Wenger hits back at Sky pundits Neville and Carragher by criticising THEIR performance


Gunners boss wants to hear TV talking heads helping viewers understand the game not trashing players by flinging out "dangerous" opinion. Arsene Wenger has told TV pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher they cannot back up their criticism of his Arsenal side.

Wenger claims the Sky Sports duo don’t talk about the games they are meant to be analysing and instead speak about themselves too much. He also said Gunners youngster Francis Coquelin has emerged as the best defensive midfielder in Europe.
Former Manchester United defender Neville claimed during Monday night's broadcast of Arsenal's draw with Liverpool that Wenger is either “naive or arrogant” to think he can win the title with flair players.

But Wenger, who has worked for years as a co-commentator for French TV station TF1, says expert pundits who either have been in the game or still work in it should show a better understanding.

The Arsenal boss said: “The only thing I want is that, when people have opinions, it is documented and worked-out before - especially when it is football specialists.

“It is not just about talking.

"I accept you can be right and I can be wrong, but what you do not want is just an opinion that comes out just because you feel like that.

“When I watch sometimes, the guy doesn’t talk about the game - he tells you his life and what he thinks about football.

“But I like to know that Schneiderlin passed to Carrick.

"Sometimes, I watch games and at the end I don’t know the players who have played on the pitch because the guys don’t comment on the game any more.

“The first mission is to educate people. Yes, that is fantastic because the guy who has played can explain things to the guy who has not played at the top level. It can help them understand and get people to really love the game.
