Jimburst Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Think Jenas has an engaging presenting style, nowt like autocue Shearer. Quite annoying but clearly quite good at his job these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Jenas's problem for me will always be that he has no credibility as a pundit. Aside from his lack of quality, I can't take any criticism he has for players not putting the effort in or not tracking back or lacking character seriously when the main problem I had with him for us was that he was spineless.

Quite annoying but clearly quite good at his job these days. Literally would say the exact opposite of those two. I find Shearer totally genuine whereas Jenas has that tedious "I'm saying something very thoughtful and profound that I've rehearsed so I need to say it, even though it isn't necessarily connected to what the last person said" thing. On each of the four million channels he appears on. Can't abide him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 2 hours ago, STM said: Out of everyone in football, I dislike Gerrard the most. He's a nasty piece of work, who's been deified by scousers, despite asking to leave them when they were largely shit. Loads of pundits talk about "Stevie G" being the best English midfielder but Xavi talked about Scholes, who I totally agree, was a class above. Gerrard played for Gerrard, Gerrard is now managing for Gerrard. He has no interest in his players or at the club he manages. His only interest is getting the big games at his beloved Liverpool. I for one hope that he somehow lands that job because it will showcase his entire lack of brains or class. I'm actually starting to feel sorry for Villa fans. Scholes was a great player but he’s the classic example of a playing being talked about as underrated to such an extent he becomes overrated. He’s never been a class above Gerrard. That’s hyperbole. You could argue one is slightly better at some things than the other but I’d personally have Gerrard overall above Scholes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to disrespect Scholes at all, but he's become one of those players it's fashionable to rate as one of your favourite all time players.

He's primed them to become a boring, nasty lower mid-table team for years to come. Boring, old but solid defenders. Physical midfielders with little ability. Hard working attackers with little end product. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that's fair enough, when they're actually talking amongst themselves, shearer is genuine amd pbviously i prefer him generally. Just when he's doing the narration of the clips he's horrendous. Keeps pausing in unnatural moments. Jenas is pretty slick and pretty clear he's practiced and he's good at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Jenas is a good presenter / broadcaster. He lacks credibility as a Pundit. His strength as a broadcaster has him sitting with the big boys. Jenas is one of the frontrunners to take the main MOTD presenting gig. Spineless player. I stuck up for him a lot as he had ability but the application was poor. If he had a better mindset he would have been a top class player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 They'll likely know their audience, and it's somewhat understandable and to be expected, but at the same time, it's ridiculous how when it's Man Utd vs Liverpool the other Monday night, they come on air at 6.30pm and have 90 mins build up dedicated to the big match. Yesterday, SSN was all derby day in the morning and the full hour from 1-2pm was previewing the match. Now when it's Leicester vs Forest, an East Midlands derby, bottom vs 2nd bottom, loads at stake, 7-7.30pm is Manchester derby reaction, 7.30-7.45 is discussing Liverpool and TAA - they finally talked about tonight's match at 7.47 and then went for a break literally 2 minutes later Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
