Kagawa's sub in the Derby is probably one of the strangest subs I have ever seen
--------------
Why?

Oh yeah, just remembered he came on for an injury didn't he. Strike that one but another in that game, or lack of one, was Giggs staying on the full game and Clevz staying on the bench

I can't remember the last time he made a sub, when it was obvious we needed to change something.

It's just so weird that too

Bringing on Scholes in the CL final was one of his worst ever.
We were clearly lacking energy in midfield, and our tactical genius brings on Scholes for the only guy in our team who was playing well, Carrick.
It was like SAF had given up, and got ball sentimental.

Because it was 90 minutes too late?

I think Scholes for short periods was ok that season after he came back but have to admit towards the end of the season, he was looking a spent force and wasn't really what we needed in that game
I actually didn't mind him coming back because the laternative at the time was playing Giggs there consistantly and Scholes was the better option
Staying on this season, with Giggs, and no CM brought in though was a huge risk given the injury records of Ando and Clevs and Fletch's illness
Clevs has improved and I do like the guy in the squad but he is better than Giggs as an option despite being nothing like the Scholes of old type player that we need.
I have a small hunch we may actually get to finally see Ando playing well next season. His knees look sorted and a good pre-season could really see him finally step up.
He does owe us somewhat

Have you been on the pop?
Wrong season.

He should have been brought on earlier. But Young was injured - it isn't like Fergie threw him on in the 92nd minute to try and change the game.

yeah, I watched the game in the pub and only read about it afterwards, then forgot.
Like VC says though, he should have had far more gametime in that game. If we are talking knackered players as a reason, then why was kagawa sat on his backside again
Definitely. Should have come on for Rooney after we scored IMO.
I'm sorry, before the Madrid game, we were still playing hot garbage. The argument then was we were saving ouselves for the CL.
Apart from a couple of games, we've played sheet for most of the season and I'm not impressed.
In addition to letting players retire, the manager needs to hang up his boots too
The whole team selection in the CL final was strange
Looking back now, I still can't quite believe we went with a central midfield 2 of Carrick and Giggs against Barcelona. Barcelona ffs!

We probably would now too, we'd also play Valencia, bring Fabio back from loan and sign Park again.
