Paul Scholes Retires

[Richierush]

Everyone's entitled to their opinion but, seriously, that is complete and utter bollocks of the highest order mate. I'm actually shocked that anyone, aside from the most deluded scousers, would even suggest it.

Gerrard's biggest fault is his attempts at being "the complete footballer".
Trying defence splitting passes that have little chance of reaching their target (and usually don't) when he should be keeping possession......
Trying to burst the back of the net instead of finding a team mate in a good position etc

What you mean is, Gerrard can tackle a bit better than Scholes.
Well, maybe so, but Scholes is better than Gerrard in every other department.
Passing, shooting, running with the ball, keeping possession, staying on his feet.......

Gerrard's a good player, but not in the same league as Scholes.
Never has been. Never will be.

Paul Scholes is/was the best English footballer of his generation, and one of the best of all time.

mate your a manc arnt you?? im an evertonian an hate steven gerrard with a passion an would love nothin more than anythin to say scoles was better but im lookin at it as a football minded person.Steven Gerrard could be put in any position the pitch an do a quality job as if the position was his own,he's a player that can change a game at any time at either end of the pitch an important tackle or a goal or an assist,scoles was world class but the complete player he was not.steven gerrard is.

You're the first person I've ever known, who isn't a Liverpool fan, who thinks Gerrard is even in the same league as Scholes.

Without exception, every other person I know, with an interest in football, can see that Scholes is head and shoulders above Gerrard.

That's fans of Leeds, Dundee Utd, Rangers, Celtic, Blackburn, Chelsea, Sunderland, Villa, Bolton, Newcastle, Barnsley, even City.
I don't listen to anything Arsenal fans say, those dudes are wired up all wrong somehow.

There's no way on earth Gerrard is the complete player either. He tries, but doesn't even come close.
His long passing is ****ing awful for a start.

He's a luxury player who gives possession away far too much, by looking for defence splitting passes that he's not capable of completing.
