You replied out of the blue (strangely, at the same time I was having a discussion with another poster on a different thread) to have a go at me, and spat the dummy out when I taught you a lesson. Anyway, it doesn't really count if these "people" you refer to are all the same person. One who uses words he doesn't know the meaning of and can't type a couple of sentences without having to hit the edit button straight after posting because he realises he's made an @rse of it, yet again. No hard feelings though and all the best to you. "Taught you a lesson" Aye so you did. And with that, I'm out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm full on team Scholes. When he got the ball, the next move was a surprise. There was always a dummy, a twist, a bump, a turn, something that the other guy didn't see. The best comparison I can give is Naismith at his peak, although he was Poundland scholes of course, that knack of finding another way out. Just for how he receives and recycled, Scholes was phenomenal. There's a whole lot more to his game of course, but that's what always had me drooling over him.

For comparison Gerrard would have been an even better player in that United midfield whereas Scholes wouldn’t have been so comfortable in that Liverpool team.

AlimOzturk Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Scholes was a ridiculously good player for Man U but he didn’t have near enough the same impact for England.

151 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 We watched his documentary on Youtube at lunch time today chilling. It was filmed in 2020 so ends with him just moving to Dortmund. Then watched him score 2 in El Clasico. Never watch games like that but wanted to watch him live as never really did it much outwith the Scotland England game. The game could possibly win everything there is to win - which is unfortunate as means England doing the unthinkable and unbearable. But the guy is absolutely unbelievable.

Technically, in terms of what he could do with the ball, Scholes wasn't as good as Gascoigne or even Bellingham - but he had other attributes that made him an absolutely crucial part of the most successful team in Premier League history. The really telling thing is that a lot of top players from that era who played against Scholes spoke so highly of him. It was his decision making and movement off the ball that made him such a top player IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
