Arsenal players likely to revolt against irritating coach Mikel Arteta, according to Gary Neville.

Gary Neville, a former Manchester United and England defender, shared his thoughts on Nicolas Jover, the set-piece coach for Arsenal. Neville believes that Jover's touchline behavior is offensive and that the Arsenal players may eventually turn on him. Jover has helped make Arsenal the most dangerous team in the Premier League when it comes to set-pieces, but Neville thinks he needs to take a step back and not overreach his importance.

During a recent episode of Stick to Football, Neville repeated his previous statement that Jover is the "most annoying man in football." He explained that Jover's behavior offends him and that he feels Jover is overstepping his role. Neville pointed out that when a goalkeeper makes a good save, the goalkeeping coach does not run onto the pitch to take credit, so Jover should not do the same. He believes that Jover should sit back and let the manager take the lead, as he cannot effectively communicate with players from 50 yards away.

Neville also mentioned that he respects the work of other coaches, such as goalkeeper coaches, but he does not see them trying to steal the spotlight. He stands by his opinion that Jover needs to take a step back and let the players and manager take the credit.

In response to Neville's comments, Arsenal legend Ian Wright defended Jover and said that Neville was being too harsh. However, former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher agreed with Neville's view, saying that while it may have been harsh, he cannot disagree.

Despite recent losses in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, Arsenal bounced back with a 2-1 win against Tottenham in the north London derby. This victory cut the gap between Arsenal and Premier League leaders Liverpool to four points, although Liverpool still have a game in hand.

After the derby win, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta praised his team's performance, especially considering they had played 120 minutes in a previous game just three days earlier. He also mentioned that they deserved to score more goals but were able to win despite having to "suffer." Arteta praised the players' attitude and intensity, saying they showed that they have the capacity to perform at a high level.
