Can someone please explain to me how Tom Sideways is a Manchester United 1st team player.what does he offer other than 3 yard lateral passes? And don't give me this nonsense that his little sideways passes make space for other people because that is clearly not the case. Andreas Iniesta he ain't. MAJ

I just love the way he shifts the ball away to trick the opposing players and then passes it straight to our defenders

How important is it that a club has players come through the ranks, progress and then establish themselves as first team players? I guess you have no bloody clue. and then become internationals and then get abused by their own fans on internet forums. you should have been watching UTD in the 80's when a good cup run was the best we could hope for! {Ed007's Note - Surely it is more important that he is a quality player and not just in the team because he came through the youth academy?}

Zzz. FFS get off his back. This really is getting tedious now. He was in a side that one 4-1 yet you slate him for not being as good as one of the top three players in the world (some may say Iniesta is THE best!)

I know you want banter and traffic to the site Eds but there's a point where these types of comments become as pathetic as the people that make them.

Rant over. {Ed007's Note - I wouldn't say your post is pathetic, that's a bit harsh on yourself.}

You are absolutely right maj. He contributes nothing. He even managed to misplace a five yard pass straight out of play when evra was stood completely unmarked.
Seriously, I don't know what he's doing in our midfield

GDS2. sorry if I have offended you in some way. You seem to have taken my comments a bit personally! I am not slating one of our own players for the sake of it.In fact I am not even trying to slate the lad.I just don't see what he brings to the team.Yes he is a "steady" player, but is that really good enough for a top team like Manchester United? He is 24 years old now, so the arguement that he is still young and will be a top player is a bit lame really.I genuinelly think that if a player is going to be top class, he has shown more by the age of 24. I was not trying to compare him to Iniesta in my earlier post because that would be unfair on most players, but if Tom Cleverley is going to become a top player he needs to improve.and improve quickly.
