Pat Nevin couldn't be more impressed by Sandro Tonali - 'He has the arrogance of Pirlo' NUFC
“If you look at him and Guimaraes in midfield, that is a spectacular partnership.“Just everything he does – his crossfield balls, his comfort and confidence on the ball – he has the arrogance of [Andrea] Pirlo on the ball.“Everyone else was running around at top speed and he just seemed completely in control at every moment.
The most recent example of him not just lazily following the rest of the pundits and instead prepared to say something out of step with the herd, came ahead of the season, when BBC Sport asked 26 of their TV and radio pundits to predict the Premier League top four for the 2023/24 season… As you can see, apart former NUFC players Given and Waddle, only Pat Nevin and Lindsay Johnson selected Newcastle United as one of their four choices. This despite the fourth place finish last season and the third best PL form in the second half of the 2021/22 season.
Obviously it is only one game, thirty seven still left to go in the league, however, I bet a fair few of these BBC Sport pundits above will already be wishing they had been brave enough to come up with their own choices, rather than just going along with the mainstream, who are clearly desperate for Liverpool and Man Utd to be in that top four.
