unless youve been watching a parallel universe United to me, i could have sworn that ALL of Phils better games this year have been as a CM breaking up play. In fact he's received a lot of praise in this role.
Back to school for you young man
1) simple typo, calm down.
2) bullshit. He earned his keep this season while Gary was injured. Ask anyone and they will tell you. He's only played two or three games in CM this term, and looked poor.
back to school for you poof.

His inability to make telling challenges is becoming increasingly worrisome.

afraid you are very right, he cant seems to win back the ball, dilly dally too much when in possession, lose the ball too easily for my liking, and his teammates have to cover his mistakes and win the ball back...
arghhh.....

You're wrong mate, his best performances have been at CM this season. Have a look back through the player ratings threads if you like.

Scholes 8.5 MOM imo. Brilliant passing - never noticed just how good his passing is until recently. Was unlucky not to score early on, and got up and down the pitch like he hadnt just come back from injury and played three games in a week.

while I don't think Scholes was MOM, (Barthez would be my choice), I really like it when he stepped in to the holding midfield role after Phil Neville got subsituted. His tackles were suprisingly good

why are people surprised by Paul scholes? He's got the lot, in fact i would say hes probably our most complete player.
He had poor form last season and maybe people are only realising now again what a damn good player he is. He'd be one of the first names on my teamsheet everytime.

Veron was pants yesterday and if his performances continue like this for the next couple of games, SAF should have no hesitation in benching him.

his performance on Saturday wasnt much different from that of most of his domestic games with us, so what makes you think SAF will suddenly change his mind?

Veron's performance in the first half was awful. But after Phil Neville was replaced, he played much better. Ran tirelessly, covered at the back and kept the ball well. It may also be caused by Beckham stopped roaming everywhere in the midfield. I noticed that whenever Beckham started to run everywhere in the midfield, Veron would disappear in most of the time. It seemed he didn't get used to having another player getting all the ball in front of him.

Watch a re-run of the game, to try and give Veron any kind of praise is crazy, Fergie's persistence with him is having a detrimental effect on Scholes, who is in top form but is being played out of position to accommodate Veron. In recent games Scholes has performed at a higher level when he is pulled back to midfield, the same could also be applied to Giggs.
Maybe people now will realise why I was so critical of Phil Nev a few weeks back. Our midfield which has been one of the world's best in recent years is now looking one of our weakest lines- I know we have injuires etc, but so did Fulham.

No, just that you didnt understand it.
Itchys comments are just stupid. Instead of putting in a decent comment on the game he just says, "Veron was pants" which to me is just an utterly stupid thing to say. If you thought Seba didnt have a good game, fair enough, but just explain why first.
