Wow that Fabio Capello story blew my mind. Too right, he wanted you to miss the birth of your child for a friendly, and then tricked you into missing precious time with your newborn with the possibility of playing for England only to make you sit on the bench. I'd be done with him aswell after that.

Rebellion XCI Man United clearly had a better team in those eras, it’s pretty obvious Man United didn’t dominate because Paul Scholes Individually, they dominated because they had a fantastic team who would run through a brick wall for Ferguson unlike the Liverpool teams in that era and the Chelsea team besides the Mourinho & Ancelotti Eras

Rebellion XCI Scholes was a world class player like Gerrard and Lampard, Yet scholes had one of the best prem teams in near enough every season he played, put Gerrard and Lampard in United and they would’ve won the same amount. Stats speak for themselves on all the players, yet you can just compare what he won, that’s not an argument of him being a better individual player

It seems that all the football purists and people in the game rate Scholes the highest. Gerrard and Lampard are club legends but are more “English”. I think Scholes draws praise from Pirlo et al. because he’s the closest we had then to a more agile, technically brilliant and “elegant” midfielder more akin to Xavi/Iniesta/Pirlo. Gerrard and Lampard seem more alike as a pair so a direct comparison makes more sense
@Akan1234 жыл бұрын
Exactly, honestly don't understand why people don't get this and even with that taking away the penalties of Gerrard and Lampard, Scholes' numbers are up there also considering he played deepeer for a longer time than the other 2 did but scored a lot more than the Xavi's & Pirlo's, guess that was the English in him
