What about the first timer to Young at 4:07? Unbelievable.That pass at 3:45 first time to Wazza.
We already drooled all over that on the last page.What about the first timer to Young at 4:07? Unbelievable.
That one was very good, it's the kind of pass a lot of people here are claiming he isn't capable of making.What about the first timer to Young at 4:07? Unbelievable.
Already in the FF I see. I'm impressed with you. I'm still having trouble with the entertainment and general being separate.Huge fan of his, and in the last 2/3 matches he's played he has really impressed me.
He suits Carrick really well as I noticed Carrick was allowed to be a little more mobile ( the Sunderland midfield tended to hold a little deeper), but still I feel that the pairing will work well. Cleverley's passing yesterday was brilliant, and he was at the center of a lot of the attacking play, yet also came deep and played a defensive game quite well.
Thanks...Already in the FF I see. I'm impressed with you. I'm still having trouble with the entertainment and general being separate.
Have to agree. He was fantastic and those two first time passes were ridiculously good. I'd still like to see him play with an on form Ando again. Their movement is great.Thanks...
Lately I've been mad into the midfield, so coming into threads about midfield partnerships and Cleverley/Carrick etc really takes my fancy.
This weekend, Clevz really impressed me, the way he controlled the midfield at times with his movement and passing was nothing short of immense.
no!thanks...

Sorry, usually I'm fine with grammar, once in a while I get lazy and reduce it to a mess like that.
No problem. The use of Clevz and Welbz does get a few people (me included) annoyed.Sorry, usually I'm fine with grammar, once in a while I get lazy and reduce it to a mess like that.
I'll try to do it less.
Only if you didn't watch his loan spells at all. He's got plenty, and if he is indeed finally going to get his run in the team, the confidence will bring out his range of shooting. He certainly puts his foot through this one:Been very good last few games and that first time pass out to Young just oozes Paul Scholes. I'd like to see him try and put his laces through the ball a bit more when shooting though. So far he only seems to have one way of shooting which are the R1 circles into the corner. It'd be good if he had more in his repertoire.
He's also got a pretty cracking volley on him. Scholesesque way of appearing on the edge of the box and striking the ball. He has clearly paid attention to the man himself.Only if you didn't watch his loan spells at all.

That's pretty much the same technique.Only if you didn't watch his loan spells at all. He's got plenty, and if he is indeed finally going to get his run in the team, the confidence will bring out his range of shooting. He certainly puts his foot through this one:
Well if he can do both that and the goal he scored on Saturday with the same technique, I'd say it's just fine for a goalscoring midfielder. But my point still stands anyway - did you even watch him on his loan spells?That's pretty much the same technique.
Not apart from highlights on Motd. Watching Wigan or Watford for 90 minutes doesn't really appeal to me. There have been a few occasions where he's ballooned a shot over the bar where I've felt he'd have been better off putting his laces through the ball Scholes style rather than trying to place it. The goal he scored was a perfect example of when to attempt that finish whereas a few minutes later when he skied one he'd have been better off attempting to drill the ball.Well if he can do both that and the goal he scored on Saturday with the same technique, I'd say it's just fine for a goalscoring midfielder.

I agree with this. No harm in hitting hard curling shots but it never hurts to mix it up. When Clev whacked one back in against Fulham it ended up rebounding off the keeper straight to Kagawa. I think if he did it more often he might get more goals or other players might be able to pick up the pieces and bag some for themselves. I like that Cleverley plays a very deliberate game, attempting to be precise in everything he does, but every so often it wouldn't hurt just to put his foot through it.Not apart from highlights on Motd.

Was that the Pet Shop Boys?English boy with a Spanish mind.
Aye, he's tried that same finish from that central position just outside the box when it wouldn't hurt to smash it in. I do wonder whether he's got that kind of strike in him but the way he pinged that ball out to Young yesterday was Scholes-esque, hopefully Scholesy can give him some shooting tips! Cleverley's got a lot of traits that remind me of Beckham - the finish yesterday is not too dissimilar to Beckham's 3rd goal for United and the goal above for Wigan is classic Beckham. That attitude to self-improvement is what made Beckham the great United player that he was and it'll do the same for Cleverley. He'll work on his finishing and there's goals in him, once he gets a couple more goals he'll have that confidence in front of goal and conviction that he lacks at the moment but he's getting into good positions.There have been a few occasions where he's ballooned a shot over the bar where I've felt he'd have been better off putting his laces through the ball Scholes style rather than trying to place it.

One poor game and half this place a will make their minds up about him too quickly all over again.This is what can happen when you make up your mind on players too quickly. If we give him a run of games, I'm sure he'll show what more he's got in his locker.
I've been told he has no outstanding attributes to become the top player here
Yeah definitely similar to Beckham, you can tell he absolutely adores this club because the way he plays echoes that of legends such as Scholes and Becks. No better way of learning or replicating than from those two.Aye, he's tried that same finish from that central position just outside the box when it wouldn't hurt to smash it in.

Cleverley seems to suffer from this especially badly:One poor game and half this place a will make their minds up about him too quickly all over again.
I don't know if it is that.This is what can happen when you make up your mind on players too quickly. If we give him a run of games, I'm sure he'll show what more he's got in his locker.
