Same reason he kept being played out of position to accommodate them because there are some clueless twats out there. Scholes summed himself up there at the end when he described the person we need in midfield and that's someone who makes the team tick. The guy that links that ball out of defence into an attacking move. I've lost count the number of times I've seen our forwards make moves up front waiting fo the threaded pass or the ball over the top, only for the ball to go sideways or back. We need that player with vision and the speed of thought to play those balls.
Keane and Scholes probably best midfield partnership ever in premier league. For their longevity together and how much they both won. They really complimented each others game
The understanding that Scholes and Giggs had on the pitch was almost telepathic great world class legends . loved watching them as a West Ham fan but above all a football fan ⚒
Couldn’t tackle for shit but even as a Liverpool fan Scholes done the holding midfield role and gave master class every week, football in late 90s was amazing
lol,Scholes was a great tackler,he would foul and stop attacks without getting booked,his pressing/standing tackle was also underrated,a lot of our goals came from his pressing.
Kind of a shame Scholes didn't change into that holding role until after he'd retired from international football. That could've been a great way to have him, Gerrard and Lampard in the team at once and make it work. Scholes holding, those two more advanced. England had been playing mostly 442 for about a decade. It just didn't suit the squad they had.
@@wolfpackpete6408 Also a shame that we never saw a Scholes-Carrick combo play for England,they regularly took the piss out of Gerrard/Alonso Lampard/Essien combo's,and went toe to toe with the Xavi-Busquest-Iniesta trio. Gerrard was a CAM,Lampard was a CAM,playing two CAM's in international football was madness. Scholes and Carrick knew each others game inside out,and were far better suited to the slower pace of international games.
Nicky Butt putting himself in every position in the reserve team, brilliant!! These videos are one of the main reasons why this is the best United channel for me. Cheers lads. 👍👍
There is a story of when Butt, Scholes, Gary Neville etc all came through the academy to play in their first season with the first team. Butt picked up a boiling kettle and held it behind Schmeichel and when Schmeichel sat down the kettle burned him. Big Pete chased Butt right around the training ground shouting at him.
Watching Webby & O’Neill trough this season with all great guest appearances and not least hearing the opinions from these 2 gentlemen has been such a treat and looking forward to next season with the best fan channel on you tube. When thinking of the quality content they provide the ammount of subcribers should be much higher. So with a win on wednesday against Villareal and some new impact players coming in this summer we can hopefully take the step and knocking City off their f****g perch.
They’ve got good guests but sometimes the perspectives offered a tad one dimensional. Though I am nit picking and this doesn’t detract from the incredibly high profiled guests that appear on the channel and access Webby and O’Neill have to them. Other channels can only dream of such access. Those channels are more engaging for fans to discuss things which is just different to this one.
Great Video boys. Your content is getting better by the day and pulling the biggest of names. Marquinhos for centre back is a great shout by Scholesy. Hes a born leader with amazing physical attributes.
Scholesy is spot on, our home form (and going out in the CL group stage) were the only downers to this season. Overall it's been a very good season, let's just win this trophy to top it off. C'MON United!
not a man utd fan but Paul Scholes was world class, he could of played for any club any country. England career ruined by Sven, a joy to watch him play and nice to hear him compliment not just barca mardrid players etc but acknowledge playerlike Gerrard, Lampard Bergkamp etc class on and off the pitch
It all just went to quick one minute he was making his dedut for the team and the next minute he was retiring. Only now I am beginning to realize just what a fantastic player that he really was.
Here is a story about Paul Scholes,Me and my missus were in Compton California and we walked into a place that I think was owned if not it was certainly run by a American/Mexican gang (Don't quote me think Surenos) anyway its full of this Mexican firm, white vests, long shorts, face and neck tattoos the whole 9 yards thought right away we need to get out of here sharpish, We turned round and my missus said have a look over there,You would never guess, on the wall was a framed photo of, yep Paul Scholes. To cut a long story short we had no problems we had a great chat with the fellas in there all of them we spoke to were big fans of Scholsey. Thanks for saving our arse Paul we appreciate it.
I'm a Leeds fan , wow this lad could play , Scholesey , what a player and I've watched many of the MOTD best Premier 11 Teams picked by Lineker , Shearer , Wright , etc , they always pick Gerard and Lampard , an unbelievable duo but how can they discard Scholes and Keane ? Mind boggling , these 2 were at it most times and I'd have them ahead of any midfield duo during the Premier League History .
The fact zidane says scholes was the best midfielder of his generation speaks volumes. And its amazing how every player who played with or against zidane say he was the best! Enough said.
I was once playing football, just a kick about really on this pitch called cascy and Paul and his son was there we didn’t bother them cos he was with his son but our ball went over to them and Paul pass the ball back to me most have been a 40-50 yard pass and the ball just dropped right at my foot was incredible, I also met him at Oldham Athletics ground he was just sat in the home end was only like 8 years old, great player and nice guy
@@johnlong2360 no John not bs, you know he’s just a person right? Who is a Oldham fan. And if I was gunna bs I would have said I played with him that day not that we left him alone haha
Under appreciated? Mate he was United's best player of that generation for us fans , he was on the verge of knighthood if his shenanigans with his brother's wife hadn't caught up with him
To me this past season has been like watching a succession of top quality training matches, just look at the amount of games both liverpool and man u have lost at home, it really has shown me how much of a part fans play in the game, but great call on Giggsy, greatest premiership player of all time for my money, and I'm no man u fan.
City's run of form started when they got their infamous Spanish doctors back. Same for Liverpool's German miracle workers that suddenly brought their super human powers back to finish the season.
I’m a United fan but ever notice scholes,Neville,Keane never ever criticise ole, always say wer building or team not good or what’s goin on with the board always criticised Jose wen he was manager but never ole because it’s there friend
Giggs eh, a role model to the extreme... best player ever for Man U. He could beat the shit out of anything he was confronted with. The boy was class. He was the best at giving a black eye to any denomination.
4:01 Zidane is the best player ever - so good answer PS. The best player with the ball on the ground is undoubtedly Messi and Pelé was the best player of the 20th century etc. but Zidane is the overall no. 1.
Zidane was nowhere near the real Ronaldo between 1995 to 1999. He was the best player in the world during that period. Had his knees not blown out twice in the space of year. He'd have completely dominated the era just before the Messi - CR7 era.
I think giggs didn't really forefull his potential as a player ,that may sound crazy given his trophy all but I think he could off been so much better given his natural talent ,right foot, heading he never seemed to develop them which would off took him to world class rather than great player . Ronaldo wasn't as talented but he worked at his weakness and became the best
You hated Utd THEN ? So what you are saying is this, you dont hate Utd now, cos they are not winning all the silverware ? There's no wonder the England national team have always been wank if the majority have the same mind as you. You can accept and prefer losers above winners. Total Fuckwit
So much for the Messi - Ronaldo PR bandwagon...Here's a really top, top player, when asked who's the best player he played with. He said Giggs. No mention of Ronaldo... When asked who's the best player he played against. He said Zidane. No mention of Messi...
I'm glad Scholesy admitted he wants Henderson over De Gea because Henderson is English. I think the vast majority of fans calling for Henderson to replace De Gea are English fans with English bias. If Henderson was Greek or Russian, nobody would be calling for him to be number 1. De Gea is clearly better.. even Romero is better than Henderson imo
Every year an ex Man Utd player says they need 3/4 players to win the league! It’s hilarious! Stat for u guys! Since Ferguson retired manu have finished below Man City every year in the league lol
