71 - After coming on after 60 mins, Paul Scholes made 71 passes (97% complete), more than any Man City player in the entire game. Comeback.

Created a goal for them and lost any real bite after his appearance.
---------------
It was taking Nani off that lost us our bite. Giggs should have been subbed. Once Nani went our wide players just kept getting into decent positions then coming back. How is that Scholes' fault?

Rubbish, we lost our bite in midfield. Scholes flaws are not because of his passing accuracy. It is because we lose competitive edge in midfield tacklewise, closing down etc. He is effing slow and terrible at tackling.
He retired for a reason and bring him back, making him the first sub of the bench was as ridiculous as playing rafael and park in midfield. Keep making escuses for fergie. He is not managing this team objectively

Don't agree. We had plenty of the ball but our wide players didn't do much with it. How did swapping Giggs for Scholes mean we lost our bite in the centre? I must have missed Giggs' bone crunchers

Pace, skill and has been playing for the whole yr not managing the reserves. Even then giggs is a flaw in the midfield for the same reasons, putting an even slower defensively inept version of him is stupid of fergie.

Here is one more stat for you..
City scored 2 goals with 10-man against 11 man united.
City had 50 % possession with 10-men
You committed more fouls than City with 11-men.
you are nothing but a joke team.

How about this statistic....
West Ham in the championship whilst Man United are flying high.

Mafia didn't you plan your Sunday out sitting behind a pc and admit your obsession with me by wumming if we lost? West Ham are named after a tool because that's what they are, tools. Championship mediocrity.
