Damn, I messed up that one. You said we were relying on Spurs to lose, and I was supposed to say, that Spurs actually should have WON that match, because we won ours.
I think our midfield is actually close to perfect. There are so many skilled, quick players we have, that can play in different positions.
I think Gilberto-Cesc-Rosicky-Hleb-Freddie can make up a wicked 4-man or 5-man midfield easily. Then there's Diaby coming back, Lauren and Walcott both can play in midfield etc.
I don't think Hargreaves would significantly improve your midfield, except depth-wise. A left winger is what you should be looking for imo. I'm not saying Giggs sucks, but he's not gonna be around forever.
And to be fair, when you lost Keane, he was nowhere near being a top player in the Prem. The replacement(s) weren't that much worse than him. Cesc had to step into some big boots, when Vieira left. He did brilliantly though, against Paddy too, in the CL.

Anyway, onto today. Unfortunately, it seems like neither Chelsea or ManU will be dropping points this weekend. Which means it's a must-win for us against Toon.
