I'm just pointing out your quest to defend a player at all costs, whether you have to lie to do it or not. |

Hargreaves was very good yesterday, he's never going to be my favourite type of player, but I lost count of the number of tackles he won. Blaming him alone for Jenas' breaks doesn't really make sense, the whole defence got split apart, and Rio had his first so-so game in living memory.
Playing him and Carrick together never looks that great, so far, because there's a great big gap between midfield and attack, with only Giggs showing the movement to link play. If we're going to do that, Carrick has to get up the park - even though he also played well yesterday, we looked more fluid when Anderson and Scholes came on. |

Plech is probably all right since his mum can knock up a nice drop of home-made with barley. But Campbell's condensed has lost its appeal for me.

If Carrick-Hargreaves is chicken soup, what does that make Scholes-Anderson? A doner kebab?

 Bizarrely, that was the first thing that I thought of too. Only mentalists like cold soup, though, so I rejected it. I'm now thinking about some sort of butternut squash (Scholes ginger hair, see?) and chilli (Anderson, he's spicy) broth. Comfort food that you can always rely on to warm you up on a winter day but has that little touch of spice, just to keep things interesting. |

How often has he praised Rooney this season? Or Carrick for that matter? If his praise is a sign of "being happy with their contribution this season" as players? Um?

Some points: a) Stats show that there is no great defensive bonus in playing Hargreaves (so far). I would say that empiric evidence suggests the same also, but this would be based on my personal point of view from the games I've seen. b) Stats also show that there is an offensive penalty in playing Hargreaves. Again, my personal views support this  c) We've let in 3 goals in 12 games at home in the premier league this season, with Hargreaves only playing in a few of these games. Against Tottenham - with Hargreaves on the pitch - we could easily have conceded four. The crux of the matter is this: Hargreaves does not seem to improve us when he's on the field. Now I think he will given time, but so far I can't see how it can be argued that he has. |
