I don't think people are critisising him as a captain...more critisising him as a player...can you seriously say he belongs in the team based on form?????

Also, he has not had an excellent game for us in a long time.

People always say that when Scholes playes well, Utd play well. I have always though that when Utd play well, Scholes plays well...

He had an excellent game against Spurs last week but almost no one in this forum acknowledged it. I don't think people are critisising him as a captain too, except probably Tonjo..
JINX, SCHOLES as captain of the team.
So far except for Sunderland game, No win for United when he was captain in the EPL games.

I am with the concept that when Scholes plays very well, United play well. For recent example, Look at the first half of the Spurs game..

boro fans i think chanting "USA USA"....embarrasing....brilliant play by ronaldo, great cross as well.

Yeah really embarrasing :wenger:
 
Funny shit on my *** streaming. It refreshed twice in the last 5 minutes and O'shea gave away the ball on both occasions. Everyones on to him.

dont tell me he took park off...
ugh

Yup, we are 3-0 down, and he took off the Park, our fittest and fastest player. And Fletcher, prob the slowest midfielder in the EPL, is still prancing around in the middle like a schoolgirl, not making any tackles. Just what is his role in the team is besides being the weakest link ?

Support through thick and thin means support through "this shambles".

Support yes, defend no. I haven't been criticising any one player, that's not for me, but the team is appalling, absolutely appalling.

We're average because we've not got a good midfield. End of.

I don't think our defence is that good atm either. It's patched up and it shows.

You have to wonder how things might be with Neville and Heinze.
 
Ok so who we got to get rid of then?

O'Shea, Fletcher, Ferdinand, Scholes......

Nevermind we might just win the ECL!!!!

Ha!

Any team (unless you're Chelsea and dont exist) would miss two of their starting defenders, as well as their main midfielder. Our team, at full strength, is better than every other PL team except Chelsea. That doesnt mean none of them can beat us because they can, but we have a better team than nearly every other team in the PL.
 
you can support the team financially and emotionally, watching the games, etc....but as a fan, u can also critisize and don't have to defend shit type playing.

Get rid of Carlos!!

Ah! I was waiting for that one. Yep blame the Number 2, when SAF and his recent rubbish team selection, rubbish buys, sticking with Ferdinand.

And we have Saha took look forward to!!!

Great!

I think our defence now is not bad, but they are just exposed and not protected by our midfielders. The best defence in the world will struggle without a midfield.

I am a Smith fan, but I have to say that he is learning his trade next to 2 very off form players, and he looks crap now.
We're not average Livvie, we're just crap.
 
SMith did well to read the situation. Almost a 4th goal but for Smith, it wasn't.
 
people are so quick on here to give rio loads of stick, but truth is his still one of the best defenders out their, even if his having a bad time at the moment, the problems united have is in centre mid its pretty obvious........scholes is like zidane, his finished only even worse, smith will never be a midfielder, said it since day one and fletcher needs support , his to weak to run a midfield, it aint only the defenders, this is a joke, we better not finish behind arsenal in the league again! c'mon united!

I would not blink an eyelid if any of those were sold at the moment, but I will always remember how good Scholes has been for us during our best years.
The only problem we have at the moment is WE HAVE NO MIDFIELD:::
