I'm not convinced that Hargreaves is a better DM than Gerrard. Hargreaves doesn't have the same range of passing - admittedly less important in that position - and his tackling is no better than Gerrards (remember the first game he came on as sub in the WC? Gave away loads of freekicks, and he was playing better than usual). The one thing he does have, is an incredible engine and workrate, he will hustle and redknapp the opposition until he is blue in the face. I've always said he is an average player (back when everyone hated him) who tries to make up for his lack of genuine talent with effort.
Given the choice, I'd rather see Parker get given a try than Hargreaves. And that's for England, not the World
