Moderators Casino Posted June 29, 2006 Moderators Share Posted June 29, 2006 first choice full back in the best team in the country for years even many bolton fans on here have conceded he's the best we've got but should he return on saturday? i think not reasons 1 he's a lump it merchant, and that won't work with one up front 2 his crossing is generally poor 3 he's been injured and can't be fully up to speed 4 he's a pussy 5 hargreaves is a more than competent defender, and can pass better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underpants Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 They tell us that we function better down the right if Neville and Beckham are in the team. Maybe this has more to do with him starting than anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter HomerJay Posted June 29, 2006 Site Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2006 depending on fitness, as an attacking fullback he is better than carragher and hargreaves put together. assuming he is fully fit, he has to play imo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaz Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 i rate him very highly,the best right back in the premiership.i dont care he plays for munich :-# i would play hargreaves for carrick,with them playing 5 in midfield as well,i dont think carrick will cope defensively.

However, Phil Neville aside, Hargreaves must be the worst player ever to get 35 England caps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffs Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Peversley, I would like to see that one trick pony Ronaldo make him look like the below average stump that he really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted June 29, 2006 Moderators Share Posted June 29, 2006 Figo will be playing wide left so we need Gaz Nev's experience is nullifying that threat. Figo would make a mug out of Hargreaves for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffs Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 the reason why I do not rate GN is because whenever he plays against anyone decent they make him look average. Saturday is a chance to prove me wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exiledwhite2 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 depending on fitness, as an attacking fullback he is better than carragher and hargreaves put together. assuming he is fully fit, he has to play imo... AND as a defender he's leagues above Hargreaves...what makes Sven think Hragreaves can instantly become a world cup class full back? The last four world cup winning full backs were: Cafu, Carlos, Thuram, Lizarazu You can't stick any old fucker in there and think 'that'll do' - you need specialists at this level. If he is fully fit he has to play, without a shadow of doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted June 30, 2006 Author Moderators Share Posted June 30, 2006 england will not win the world cup if they haven't got the ball nor is lumping it 50 yards to rooney going to bring us any joy with 5 in midfield, its not as though the full back should get over-exposed and this isn't the first time hargreaves has played full back, and when he's done it before, he's done it well oh, and did i mention, gaz nev is a pussy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that fate would await Hargreaves against Figo and Ronaldo. Neville has faced the worlds best for a decade and held his own But I'll give you one thing, he's a porno 'tached c??nt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is fully fit he has to play, without a shadow of doubt I don't see how he can be fully fit. He looked off the pace in the Paraguay game. It's far from ideal but I would go with Hargreaves he's fit and strong and supported Beckham ok last Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In four years we will be in South Africa. It could be 45 degrees, we might not qualify, we could get a group of death," said Neville. Won't the next WC be in South Africa's winter? FFS it's 15??C in Johannesburg today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
