elampiro: How much Hagreaves meant to us in 2007/8. Playing through pains he over delivered. The bolded captured the highlight. Now this is one of the report which were confused about the role Hagreaves played in the final. His role was not as straight forward as you will want me to believe. |

coogar: Can we have where Eufa post match report? Is this a tactical chart or just a straight formation chart. You know those funny charts which will suggest Kagawa and Welbeck were both strikers in a 4-4-2 formation. But a tactical chart will seperate their functions. Please can you help me with link to this chart? The bolded: that's an exaggeration right? |

elampiro:elampiro and his theories!! Okay, if chelsea were attacking us, and cole was overlapping, who was picking him up?? Dont even bring tevez or rooney into the matter oo... |

dademola: elampiro and his theories!! Okay, if chelsea were attacking us, and cole was overlapping, who was picking him up?? Dont even bring tevez or rooney into the matter oo... you must be very intelligent - this just sums up elampiro! i cannot see how a player tasked to curb ashley cole's marauding runs would be drifting to the middle & leaving wes brown exposed!! |

dademola: elampiro and his theories!! Okay, if chelsea were attacking us, and cole was overlapping, who was picking him up?? Dont even bring tevez or rooney into the matter oo... So Tevez and Rooney will stay like stick abi? Hope you know Rooney created a clear cut chance from the right flank which Tevez squandered. I thonk it was from a counter, and we should have been 2-0 up before Chelsea could get back. Coogar has a good point but the problem is that he is taking away Hagreaves part of the job. If not for defensive duties, why did SAF not play Nani who was in form? Could Nani not have troubled Cole better? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 10:00pm On Jan 02, 2014 |
elampiro: because as at then, nani was still tactically naive. fergie rarely played 2 out & out wingers(ronaldo/nani) in big games that season. it would leave the midfield horribly exposed so hargreaves was the logical choice as he's not a makeshift either as a fullback or a midfielder on the right side. point still remains hargo didn't play as a DM in the 3 games leading to the champions league victory in 07/08. carrick/scholes were the defensive shield protecting our centre-halves, not hargo! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 10:00pm On Jan 02, 2014 |
elampiro:u still havnt answered the question!! Nobody is undermining hargo's defensive abilities here- fergie decided to deploy a defensive minded player on the wing which ofcourse speaks volumes buh d issue of hargo helping out in central mF in moscow, is complete hogwash bro!! |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 10:14pm On Jan 02, 2014 |
^^^ In a 4-3-3 formation for instance, who does the 3rd midfielder protects? It is not straight on that every time Hagreaves went back he protected Scholes and Carrick. I maintain, Hagreaves didn't marry the line when when defended. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 10:16pm On Jan 02, 2014 |
coogar:I'm sure elampiro cant suggest such, that was why i asked him the question.. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 10:21pm On Jan 02, 2014 |
coogar: I doubt if I have ever said he played the hatchet role. From what I saw recently, he was drifting in front of Carrcik and Scholes as Man United defended. Then he quickly ran to the right as we start attack. The reason I am not able to describe it fully despite haven seen it recently was that the match was reduced to like 45-60 mins instead of 120 mins. They showed UCL finals year by year (SS5). But considering Nani had good games prior to the final, why did you think SAF dropped Nani for Hagreaves? Nani should have engaged Cole more. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 10:24pm On Jan 02, 2014 |
dademola: I'm sure elampiro cant suggest such, that was why i asked him the question.. You guys are mixing up the basic for this argument. I never said Hagreaves played defensive midfield. Let's leave the argument. May be one of you guys will see the match again and come here to analyse it. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 10:33pm On Jan 02, 2014 |
I think at this time I can say I am done with the argument. Hargreaves did not play so high up on the right as Ronaldo did on the left. I also saw Rooney going to the flank when Hagreaves was retreating. When I see the match again, I will be able to say much more. It was not a straight three man midfield, so you guys can be right there. But Hagreaves played a unique role. That's what SAF does with tactics. |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 11:09pm On Jan 02, 2014 |
The final against Chelsea in Moscow is still recent, & from what I remember Owen Hargreaves played as a right midfielder when United had possession & as a defensive midfielder when United were without the ball |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 11:11pm On Jan 02, 2014 |
dademola: jargons of the highest order!! I saw it coming!! U still havnt answered my question; who was detailed to pickup ash cole's overlapping runs in moscow that night?? I guess you know Hagreaves didn't play high. Perhaps you will need to see the the game again to appreciate what I am saying. But are you saying Rooney wasn't moving right. You might be surprised he pulled more crosses than Hagreaves (unverified). |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 11:13pm On Jan 02, 2014 |
Mr_TA:How did you arrive at that? I thought Rafael just missed out by fractions to Zabaleta on the EPL team of the season last term |

dademola: why are u finding it so difficult to answer the simple question i asked?? In a 4-3-3 who helps the right back? Let's leave the argument. We will revisit it when we have more facts. No need for pages. |
