Owen Hargreaves- We Need You
Owen Hargreaves, perhaps to many he is an injury-prone yet good
midfielder while others may just see him as a great midfielder, but for
me he is more than them. I see Owen Hargreaves as a mix of John O'Shea
and Wayne Rooney, the versatility of O'Shea with the enormous talent of
Rooney all put together into one midfielder.
He doesn't just
bring amazing talent and versatility with him, he also seems to let the
talent of Anderson be unleashed when they are Manchester United's
central pairing in the midfield. He brings out the best in the
Brazilian, something that all United fans love to see.
I consider
him a better, yet more injury prone version of Darren Fletcher and
hopefully when he returns he'll be nearly all of the Hargo we love to
see, except of course the injuries, let's hope he does a Louis Saha and
shakes of the injuries and makes life tough for the opposition.
He
is arguably our best midfielder, and when he's fit and playing, he
makes life easier for those playing around him. Luckily last season
Fletcher stepped up to help out in that department, but without either
of those two, our midfield doesn't look as strong. Whilst in the
2006/07 season when we regained what is rightfully ours in the
Barclay's Premier League we used Carrick and Scholes most of the time,
it lacked a certain 'bite' to it that Hargreaves added when he joined.
So
when Hargreaves does return, what an asset we'll have back a versatile
and brilliant midfielder do add some more bite to the midfield, maybe
Liverpool won't be so lucky next time.
