Gary Neville has never been shy to hold back his opinions on the mentality of Arsenal's players, but today he has probably taken it a step further on Sky Sports, eviscerated them on commentary in their game against Liverpool this afternoon.
Liverpool currently lead Arsenal 3-0 thanks to goals from Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, and while Liverpool have been impressuve, Neville has been seriously unimpressed with the reaction and performances of some of the Arsenal player and hadn't been shy about telling us about it.
Gary Neville: "It's a well-told story that I'm not a Liverpool fan, but this Arsenal side deserves a battering".

The Arsenal Fan TV brigade will be happy with Neville for saying what they think about their team, but questions should be asked about manager Arsene Wenger for his team selection.
Not starting their club record signing Alexandre Lacazette, instead plumping with Danny Welbeck, will not go down well with the travelling Arsenal supporters, also his persistence in deploying Nacho Monreal as a centre back in a back three infuriates the fans.
Sead Kolasinac who arrived to the club on a free transfer, and who has impressed in the first two games has previously played centre back during spells at Schalke 04 and VfB Stuttgart.
It's honestly and plain speaking like this that makes Gary Neville the best analyst on television and there isn't many football fans who would find fault with his words here after watching the first hour of this game.
