Chris Sutton did not hold back in his criticism of Manuel Neuer as he and Ian Ladyman discussed the fallout of Bayern’s 1-0 defeat against Aston Villa.
Unai Emery’s Champions League debutants pulled off a heroic victory courtesy of Jhon Duran’s stunning goal as Vincent Kompany’s Bayern side fell to an agonising defeat in the Midlands.
Goalkeeper Neuer and England captain Harry Kane were slammed by the German press for their performances against Villa, with Sutton and Ladyman insisting criticism of the ‘ego-mad’ shot-stopper is warranted.
