In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
A bit too individualistic.
His ego is out of control. Hogging the ball for ages like he does instead of passing it and keeping the momentum up shouldn't happen in the modern game.

I think people should look into this before criticizing Neymar for his performance vs. Switzerland tonight.
People hyped up him for his goals against Croatia & Austria despite being underwhelming in those games.
He's clearly not 100% fit after being out for 3 months.
He needs to step up in the next game, that wasn't good enough.
Not buying the excuses of him not being fit either, if he wasn't fit he wouldn't have played 90 minutes in a friendly against Croatia two weeks ago.

His decision making is his biggest problem, not his fitness.Thanks for the YouTube video

Drags the ball for five minutes, does useless, ineffective 'tricks' over the ball, doesn't want to release the ball, waiting to get fouled instead, dives whenever he can, complains that he 'constantly gets fouled'. Well this isn't a fecking La Liga, he's a massive wanker, I'd absolutely hate to play with him and I do hope Brazil never win anything with this cnut at the helm.
Messi was pretty roughly handled by Iceland too. Dunno who was fouled more, both were fouled a lot. Neymar is just more theatrical when he is.
Looked lacking of match sharpness, very off with everything he did. Switzerland were aggressive on him but that's how they'd be against any star player. Cant respond by rolling around and shrinking. He got tackled and gave it away so many times. Really bad in the end, but I'm sure he'll improve.
Tell us what you really feel
Good point. Neymar has the advantage that his teammates are decent so he can find lots of space. Everytime Messi came on the ball there were 3-4 players on him ASAP.
Neymar’s problem is his decision making.
He still hunts the starlight. He hasn’t yet grasped that if he plays for the team and Brasil win, he will get all the plaudit regardless of what everyone else did and what he didn’t do.

Kind of OTT.
Yeah, I’m not so sure, mate.
Nah, he's definitely a massive wanker.
This exactly. I actually don't think he's trying to hog the starlight tbh. He seemed less selfish this game and wanted to win. I agree his decision making is his biggest issue but he can get it right every now and again. Some decisions were good and his team could have scored from them.
I think he tries to force the issue so much because he has a huge expectation as a Brazil player and a player regarded as the best in the world. He probably feels it the most and wants to try and win it. I personally hope they make it to semi or finals and want Messi to win the WC. Messi si also in a similar position I reckon.
He is so annoying its unreal . Nowhere near Messi and Ronnie.
It's the first game. Let him get into rhythm as he's not played much.
He should touch the ball less often and release it quicker, the game he played tonight was completely forced instead of letting the game naturally come to him.
I think he'll definitely improve as the tournament continues.

No, the problem is he isn't in a good physical condition as explained below

Enough fence-sitting, Kosty!
Well on a second read somebody may have a slight suspicion that I'm not a fan.
Brilliant rotational fouling from Switzerland on Neymar.
Just a shit Shaqiri
Currently, only 89th best player of the World Cup.
88. Kostić
90. Neymar Junior
91. Ozil

Where’s the top 10?
in front of 11
It's boring, full of Russian bots and Ronaldo.
Go away nerd
He was kicked off the park.
He wasn’t good in those matches either. The great goals covered his lack of fitness.
I thought he looked horrendous. Slowed down the play every time he had the ball and waited way too long to release it, trying to dribble 2-3 players and losing the ball countless times.
He pissed me off and I'm not even Brazilian. I want Brazil to do well just for Marcelo. If Spain doesn't win it I hope they do.

What the hell has he been doing then if he still isn't fully fit? He's been fit enough to play for so long now.
I miss the point with Neymar, his twatishness seems to outshine his footballing performances everytime I see him play.
Clearly everybody can't be wrong in saying he's fecking brilliant so I suppose I've been unlucky with the games I've seen him play.
I hope he improves as the tournament goes on.

Won a few quid betting on a Behrami card, he was basically man marking him and booting him.
This was like the final in the olympics where he spent most of the time on the ground and trying to get a pen or someone sent off.
To be fair, pretty much every foul on him was a foul, hard for him not to spend a lot of time on the ground today.
His decision making was woeful at times though. World Cup standard defenders/midfielders simply do not let people dribble past them with ease, and Neymar kept trying to take on multiple players.
I honestly have never really seen what all the fuss is about with Neymar.
If Florentino gets his way Madrid could lose Cristiano and gain Neymar. Feels like an absurd switch to me. Ronaldo is several levels above Neymar, I doubt Neymar will ever become as effective as Cristiano due to his self-indulgence and inconsistent decision making.
If Neymar released the ball earlier and used his talent to create space for others his effectiveness would rise exponentially. His determination to dribble everyone every time massively reduces the impact he should have with his talent. He's basically a knock off Messi: He can dribble almost as well but he has no idea when to do so and when not.
I'm just hoping he really wasn't 100% tonight.
