Hargreaves + Carrick + Scholes
I watched today and especially in the first half i thought Hargreaves and Carrick were doing the same job. They look to be very similiar players and i'm not sure whether it's right to play them together. I think you have to play one or ther other or else Carrick is going to have to learn to play a new role because i think hargreaves is going to take the DM role judging by his work rate today.
Carrick sort of plays a sort of intermediary role between the defensive role and general midfield but the positions he takes up and the passes he makes are the same ones hargreaves wants. I'm willing to wait it out and see how things develop - what do you think? can they play together or should we be looking to use one or the other? can Carrick push up a bit and play a more attacking role and adapt to Hargreaves presence? |

I thought for the goal that Giovanni was given far too much time and space infront of the back 4 to have a shot. Hargreaves should have dropped deeper as he is our defensive midfielder afterall. Hargreaves can also carry the ball from deep far better than carrick. Carrick should be the one in the middle of the park spraying the passes about. Scholes should have provided more support to Tevez. |

I would just put that down to the fact that they are not used to playing together yet - lack of communication - if hargreaves goes forward, carrick should drop back and visa versa. Other than the fact we have some new players and look a bit 'short' up front (pardon the pun) we've not looked that bad. But what i think has happend is that other teams have figured out a method of grinding out results against us. I think despite trying to play good football we are going to have to add something a bit different to our game because if it carries on like this over the course of the season we are definitely going to struggle to get the points required to win the league. From the current available squad i'd like to have see this today- VDS Brown Ferdinand Vidick Evra Hargreaves giggs scholes nani Oshea tevez Yeah i know it's a joke having Oshea up front but today we looked like a team of midgets up front and were over powered at least O'shea would provide something of a target and could perhaps knock something on for tevez. |

Today was one of the quietest games i have ever seen from Carrick who has generally been class for us - they are going to have to work things out but at the moment Carrick is looking a bit lost and thats a shame because like i say he has generally been a class act for us. |

Carrick and scholes are similar but not the same, Hargreaves is our only defensive midfielder. Those three can work superbly if we had a lineker/rush/nistlelroy/fowler type striker. our distribution from midfield to attack was very good all day, our breaking up of City's attack was also good. Where we came unstuck was with tevez and scholes. they desperately needed another outlet, cute passes between them had city baffled especially in the first half. we need a 6 yard box striker |

It's true, Scholes is one of my all time United favourites, but there can be no room for sentiment. He still has a role to play, but we have to look towards the future |
