Injured Hargreaves out for season

[JohnDoe]

A guess, You have not seen them this season?

It's already affecting them. They let in a lot more goals thanks to that he is out injured. The compact team play isn't there without him.

He is their version of Mascherano in midfield. The one who do all the dirty work. Now players like Fletcher and Anderson must do that work and they are not even close to be as good holding/defensive midfielder as him.

Teams can now work them down.

Hargreaves has started 22 games for them last season in all competitions. They've done well, haven't they.

I agree with that but I think that he was key to them last year particularly in the CL. I think his versatility will be missed and result in more games for Park and Fletcher who Fergie has traditionally never trusted in big PL games.

Although by all accounts Fletcher has stepped up a little this season.

I rate him as a player, so United not having access to him is good news for us but they do have plenty of depth in the midfield so as long as Carrick remains fit they shouldn't miss him too much.

That's just it, if they have a few more injuries, it will have an effect on their season, so this can only be a good thing for us.

any bad news for the manc scum is good news to me

no seriously he seems to be a decent player when he's fit and gets a run of games.

He'll be a big loss for them.

With him or without him, we still finish above the scum of the earth

He isn't actually a holding midfielder. One of the great myths doing the rounds of the uneducated football fans circuit. If he was he'd have played there in the CL final and Ferguson would actually trust him to play the position. Mascherano is a holding midfielder, Hargreaves has no tactical sense and runs around a lot. Ferguson would play Carrick in that position 10 times out of 10 over Hargreaves.

No real loss for them. Ronaldo, Rio, Carrick and Rooney are the players they wouldn't want to lose, trust.

Stop saying 'they' and I like the sly dig about us being 'uneducated'

I personally think if you play Carrick and Hargreaves, you have a very solid base for your attack to go and attack. Carrick doesn't have a strong enough tackle or bite to him whilst Hargreaves does. Hargreaves passing is poor whilst Carrick's is clever and intuitive. They can complement each other but since Hargreaves hardly plays, United won't miss him as much.
