WOW JUST WOW.

Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley feels he has been made a scapegoat for the club's poor form.

The champions have made hard work of their Premier League title defence and may even struggle to land a Champions League place next season as they currently sit nine points adrift of fourth-placed Liverpool.

Criticism of David Moyes and his side has been widespread, but fans have aimed much of their frustration at Cleverley.
"When I first started getting singled out, it stung," the midfielder told the Mirror. "But it's something you have got to learn to take when the team is not doing well.

"My job goes under the radar at times. I am not a player who's going to beat three or four people and stick it in the top corner or go round tackling people like Roy Keane.

"I would like the fans on my side and it hurts a little bit when you have grown up at the club and love the club every bit as much as the supporters.

"But there are other people in the current United squad who have been through this kind of thing and they have made sure their quality shone through.

"I have got to look at those people. I have learned to take it with a pinch of salt and I'm sure it will make me stronger for the rest of my career.

"I feel I've been made a scapegoat a little bit. A few people in the media certainly seem to have a perception of me not doing much in the team.

Tom Cleverley
"Don't get me wrong, I know I can do better but people are making a big thing about how I don't score enough goals when that is not necessarily my first job in the team."

United fans might want to see Cleverley in a box-to-box role, but that is not the role Moyes has asked him to play with the United boss preferring him in a holding role.

"I watch Spanish football a lot," Cleverley says. "If they pass the ball sideways but keep possession, the fans clap them.

"Their attitude is that as long as you have got the ball, the other team can't hurt you.

"I know the mentality is different here and that is what makes our game the best in the world because it is so intense.

"But sometimes I have got to not listen and play my game because I feel I'm doing the best thing for the team."

WOW. So he can't tackle, he can't create goals, he can't score goals, and he side passes. HE CREATED A NEW ROLE WHICH IS THE NOTHING ROLE.

^ boss +Newbie+, my remaining wp bila expires?? still got long time to go ar?
meh. if this midweek we can get a fortunate win at emirates, which i highly doubt it, it'll be #moyesin all over again.

The Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney partnership has again come under the microscope following Manchester United’s 2-2 draw with Fulham – after the duo completed just six passes between each other in 90 minutes.

According to Opta stats, Van Persie and Rooney were again virtual strangers on the pitch, and made two of those six passes from kick-off.

These latest statistical revelations can hardly be that surprising considering United flung in a record 81 crosses from the flanks against Fulham – meaning there was little opportunity for the two to combine through the middle – but following the pair’s three passes to each other against Stoke, it doesn’t bode well for the duo’s future together.

i find this very worrying.. its back to back games now

Glad we sold Pogba and kept cleverly.

It's quite ironic that Moyes has openly taking all the responsibilities of poor results but kept talking about rebuilding the team. So, was he saying the fault is not on the players but his own dinosaur tactics? Or he just playing taichi to indicate this whole squad, who won the league by 11 points last season, is not up to his "united standard"?

Seriously, it contradicts the reason that United hired him in the first place isn't it? Yeah maybe they want him to build another dynasty, but for sure it must follow his way of spotting talent yet spend less money method right!? The money he spent in last 6 months was a staggering £65m, good enough for good-scouting-manager to build at least half the squad!!

Holy shoot
Just know chelsea drew with wba also thru late equaliser
Damn other teams also inconsistent recently but we yet to take advantage of that
So sad
