At times it felt like Gary Neville was the angriest person inside Anfield on Sunday.The former Manchester United captain, on co-commentary duty for Sky Sports, was perplexed by Arsenal’s dismal performance against Liverpool and ripped into Arsene Wenger’s underperforming players throughout the 90 minutes.Neville couldn’t believe what he was witnessing. Arsenal’s stars showed a complete lack of effort against Jurgen Klopp’s side and subsequently lost the match 4-0 - a result which leaves them 16th in the Premier League table after the first three matches.“I’m absolutely fuming watching them,” Neville said during the first half.“Three of four of these Arsenal players want to leave,” he added, “who wants to buy them!?”

Neville slams Arsenal's players

"The issue today I had in the first 15 or 20 mins - and why I was as scathing I was - is because [Mesut] Ozil, [Alexis] Sanchez, [Alex] Oxlade-Chamberlain, Xhaka, Ramsey, they didn't do most basic things I think every fan, manager, and player knows - when the ball goes past you and it goes towards your goal and your team-mates are struggling, you run back as quickly as you can,” Neville continued.

"You're told that at the age of five. Aged 12 or 13, you're told to get into your shape quickly and when you get into the first team you're told about transition - give the ball way, get back in, transition, transition.

"I'm naming those five - there may be more - but that is absolutely disgraceful. That doesn't represent the Arsenal shirt or what they're about and they've let themselves down as individuals. In terms of who's to blame, I can only start and end with that.

"In terms of the tactics, the football, the mistakes, you'd need five Monday Night Footballs to analyse what went wrong there. But the simple premise of working hard, getting back towards your own goal - it's just unacceptable."

Arsenal fan's tweet about Neville goes viral

Arsenal fans on social media couldn’t even disagree with the former United defender.

And the situation was summed up perfectly by @gunnerblog on Twitter, who wrote: “Sad, isn't it, that Gary Neville seems to know more about what it means to play for Arsenal than the actual Arsenal team.”

That’s the same Gary Neville who Arsenal fans used to despise.

What on earth has happened to Arsenal Football Club?

Let’s check out the replies to @gunnerblog’s tweet…

But why won't Neville blame Wenger?

However, some Arsenal fans understandably feel that Neville is wrong not to blame Wenger for his part in the team’s shocking display in Merseyside...

On the Arsenal manager, Neville, who was sacked as head coach of Valencia last year, added: "[The Wenger question] was raging all the way through last season. I'm still adamant I wanted to see Arsene Wenger at the football club - I don't change that, I never will and ultimately that's just a level of respect from my point of view.

"You don't turn on managers and coaches. Wenger deserves the utmost respect but his players, time and time again, are letting him down and he shows too much loyalty to those players.

"Some of those players have been at the club for a long time and they're not doing it for him. When they're crossing that white line, they're not giving the absolute maximum. He was dejected in that interview, I feel for him but I'm not going to start sticking the knife in and saying he should go. Of course, you look at Wenger - and he'll look at himself."
