    Re: Can People Now Agree With About Anderson???

    OP, all i can say is- you are still a muppet, together with those who support your comment. Anderson was the problem right? I'm sure fergie thought as much when took Ando off at 0-2, then WHAT HAPPENED??? We were totally torn apart, isn't it? Yeah! a solid proof that he was the problem.

    Sorry to disagree, but sell Anderson, buy Xavi and pair him with the jogger- fletcher against this same CITY team and you would still get the same result or even worse. I'm sure you won't understand why it should be so, maybe when you grow up.

    Re: Can People Now Agree About Anderson???

    The problem is not critisicing Anderson. The problem is slating him alone. He is the best of the lot we have had for sometime. He is better than Fletcher, Park or Carrick. Is he good enough to play for a team that needs to win all the trophies? I do not think so either. But he was very good when he was paired with Hargreaves a few years back and with Cleverly earlier this year. Now anyone with any sense of fairness would accept that Anderson is one of our best tacklers and rarely gets dispossessed. His passing is not that bad and his shooting has been terrible for most of the time. If he is being slated then Fletcher, Carrick and Park should also be slated as they are much worse than him. Playing against a midfield of Yahya Toure, Silva and Barry all by yourself with a man short and a goal down is no easy job. I thought he had a much better game than Fletcher.

    Right... so Ando plays badly and "he has to go"... Carrick plays badly for 3 years and people want him to stay? Madness.

    Fletcher was terrible yesterday remember (apart from the goal). Which rather sadly, the only time we passed and moved in the game.

    If we get rid of Ando who are we going to play? Gibson? Carrick?... Exactly. We have no quality in the middle. It's not what we've got which is the problem.. it's what he haven't got

    Re: Can People Now Agree About Anderson???

    Agree with you Slim. He had a decent game and had a couple of shots too on target. Long before any of our strikers hit the target. Now that means he was attacking. How is he expected to attack and defend all at the same time. There is no way any player can sprint non stop for 90 minutes. The second goal came because Anderson was left to mark Silva and Milner. A lot of times Fergie withdraws Anderson and then midfield loses the grip. The problem is Fletcher. He just jogs about the place. Some say Anderson cannot tackle or hold the ball. Actually he is one of our best tacklers and rarely gets dispossessed. His passing may not be as good as the top players but he does have a very good long pass.He was brilliant in his first season when he played with Hargreaves. Remember how they outplayed Fabregas and co and also Gerrard and them lot. He was very good at the start when he played with Cleverly. It is the never ending saga of Fletcher that is the main cause. I personally feel that it is because he is Scottish he is being numerable chances. Someone else mentioned Park instead of Anderson. Park is someone who runs a lot but falls over at the slightest touch and could never hold the ball at all. We need a new defensive midfield player. Even Tiote would be a good buy. I would say any top midfield player in the EPL would be better than Fletcher.

    I dissagree,.  Andreson didn't play badly at all.  he had 2 shabby tackles, but other then that he and fletcher were actually working city over and keeping them pinned into there own half..   the collapse came after the red card when he was subbed because we brought on a replacement CB for Johnny Evans.     It was only 3-1 until 90th minute

    chris smalling and chicharito the future of manchester united:

     Over my time on this forum i have been called a PLASTIC and a MUPPET  for critising Anderson saying hes not good enough to play for man utd and today showed why he cant keep the ball  cant takle  no positioning sense and almost every he does is half hearted it it so does anyone agree or disagree with me about ando now ???

    he is not that bad he shouldnt get slated if he does then what about Rooney
     

     

    i thought when we went down to 10 men rooney tryed his heart out while ando was half hearted in everything he did 

     

    Actually im starting to agree I used to defend ando on this fourm as he has his merits in the team. However watching ando in the last few games his movement is shocking. He wanders about in cmf never comes close to our def in they have the ball never drops into space and is very lax in his positioning i think it is time to invest in a player that can look for, recieve and pass a ball not just one of the three. Andos complatency is getting on my nerves now as he has had 4 seasons and no improvement thus far from his 1st season i know he has had inj problems but if he does not improve by the summer he should be demoted for someone else or sold.

    I agree. He is not good enough for United. I would of started Park instead of Anderson. He was knocked off the ball too easily and didnt seem interested.(Full team showed no battle but for me Anderson is just not good enough for Utd). Only Rooney wanted to get stuck in :(

     Why blame Anderson when he's the best CM we have??

    Anderson has what it takes to be our regular starter.Anyone remember his first season?

    Its just that when paired with Fletcher and Carrick,he's got to do xtra work.For people who says he's lazy,you are wrong because he runs tirelessly.

    Its just that we need to play a true DM,like Hargreaves to get the best out of him.

    Many of us were crying out for Sneijder during summer,but what we really need was a DM like De Rossi or M' Villa,someone who does not fear to tackle.

    Re: Can People Now Agree With About Anderson???

    Greetings from sunny South Africa!! Wow what a disappointment on Sunday against City. I have been a Man Utd supporter for close on 40 years and while i cannot condone the slagging off of players from my beloved United side i have to agree that i have never rated Ando as i feel his work rate, speed and sulky demenour on the field has not contributed to the teams cause whatsoever. I trust in Sir Alex as he has brought glory and great pride to our side and has the ability to nature talent but i am of the opinion that Ando has been given more chances than many players before him and sadly he has not produced. I do however feel that we do need to a knee jerk reaction to Sundays defeat by looking into the transfer market as we have very talented players in our squad who could easily feel Andos boots. Carrick seems to take a lot of flak on these forums but the shape he keeps in midfield is undoubted and together with a fine young player like Cleverly they could develop into a formidable central pairing.

    Re: Can People Now Agree About Anderson???

    I've had enough... In this forum there are people that says they support UNITED... i wonder why? week in, week out no matter what the result is... there's someone to blame... it's never good enough or no player is good enough! i know that yesterday s*cks! i'm not happy about that... But after game starting to blame certain players (i mean individuals)... WHY? does it make you feel better when you can blame someone? for what? making one mistake in the game? we're human beings we make mistakes... Even thou i'm p*ssed about yesterday... i'm not going to start blaming players or SAF... we lost that's it! MOVE ON... LIFE WILL CONTINUE... we're UNITED and we'll bounce back... Have some faith in the players we have...

     For me he is a good player.........on the bench , he is second string material , but nevertheless a good bright player, I think he is great in that space just behind the strikers .... TOM CLEVERLEY is the only GOOD midfielder we have now , ...but I still think fletch has some gas left in him...CITY OUT CLASSED US ... they have put in far more investment into their side , perhaps if WE could have had Nasri on the bench things would have been different

    I agree with you, I've been saying that since forever, he can't tackle, he can't keep possession, bad anticipation cant even put in a decent pass !!! he's not that good of a player we still have a problem in the midfield unless we get a world class player its gonna be an issue on the long run
