[@miamitten1123]

Scholes _”Gary Neville Overlap”_ was FUNNY 😂 as hell!!

[@kemalgogic595]

I watched Scholes later on in his career from 2007 until his retirement. His volley against Aston Villa in 2007 made me fall in love with United. He was special, always so confident on the ball. I don't remember him losing the ball, or giving a bad pass. He was exceptional player. One of the greatest and most decorated midfielders ever. His greatness wasn't in goals & assists, he controlled tempo, dictated the game for his team, bossed midfield, etc... Amazing player.

[@richcymru3976]

Yeah

[@stuartabbott2307]

The comment about Carrick being most underrated / appreciated... For years I wish an England manager would play carrick alongside any of Lamps, Gerrard or Scholes as he would have been the perfect partner for any of them.

[@brodogoks2526]

Yeah

[@Karma2Babylon]

Carrick has played alongside Gerrard and Lampard

[@stuartabbott2307]

@@Karma2Babylon Wasn't saying he hadn't. He just didn't do it often, as managers consistently tried playing them both. Carrick didnt get many England caps but I feel the team would have functioned better if he had.

[@Karma2Babylon]

@@stuartabbott2307 Probably, but all three were kinda similar, Gerrard perhaps being a bit more dynamic. Ericksen’s team just didn’t have enough pace in it beyond Owen and Vassell and just didn’t have enough strength in depth

[@andyniblett8986]

Just had to comment on this clip . As a neutral I saw Scholes, Gerrard and lampard a few times - all great players , but all different . No one ever brings up the golden generation and how they were coached for England. The Spanish had javi , iniesta and busquets, and they were the backbone of that great Spanish side . How in heavens name could we have Scholes, Gerrard and lampard , and the so called super coaches ,namely Ericsson and capello , who didn't build a team around them . Playing Paul Scholes wide left in a 4 man midfield , was criminal . The Spanish feared and admired Paul Scholes greatly . Sadly we never saw the best of the 3 of them together for England , we should have won a major trophy I blame the coaches at the time ...bloody sad . I happened to see Scholes in his prime , and when he came back after his retirement . He run the game like a " quarterback " , all the time in the world Gerrard was like a " one man team " , at the time , a bloody thoroughbred racehorse . Lampard always turned up at the right time to score - all great players

[@timeless4369]

I toetally enjoyed this. It was nail biting.

[@rilamountain9311]

Brilliant interview. I like when Scholsey and Joe mentioned Beckham and how good he was

[@delboy013]

I think as time passes we start to remember Beckham more from a football perspective and how unique and amazing he was as a player. All the palava and hairstyles surrounding him really took away from Beckham the player.

[@AusIrishRooBhoy]

One of the best. I admired his tenacity and quality to bring others in with pin point distribution.

Can someone please pull Joe to one side and just tell him to stop saying 'yeah' every 2 seconds when his guest is talking? Genuinely thought someone would have had a word after his first interview...

[@hugoleesong]

Both of these guys were wasted. Joe Cole was the number 10 we always needed, having the skill and invention to open up teams sitting back. And Scholes had the technique and composure to control the tempo like a Xavi or Pirlo. But all England wanted at the time was all action, slide tackling box to box midfielders.

[@compostsmurf5519]

carrick and Scholes were perfect for centre mid international football
