Because you asked about him?
I said both Hargreaves and Barry were good and shit in equal measures tonight. Both made a few good tackles (Hargreaves more than Barry) both made a few decent passes (Barry a lot more than Hargreaves) and both had their spastic moments where they forgot how to pass the ball or that they were supposed to be trying to take the ball from the player and not the player from the ball.
Barry did more than Hargreaves on the night in my opinion but Toulalon and Makelele did more.
That was the point I was making.
The "rant" was to explain my thoughts on why lots of people rate him (as well as the many who don't) and because I saw one of the pundits on sky sports news say "England were poor but Hargreaves was fantastic."
In my opinion, Hargreaves has made his reputation in England based on these short sighted comments on his performances in games where everyone around him has been poor.
Which says a lot for his character - but not too much for his ability.
