Anderson
-
Oh man i just think Anderson is brilliant... Just a few months with United and he is now showing form of a very good player he is and will be... He is tough, can tackle well, has speed, aggressive and most important, has a vision for great passes...
Actually of the 4 that came in this season, I was thinking that Anderson would be the most likely to fail especially when the other 3 did good enough at the start of the season while he was still struggling to find his way... But looks like all 4 are proving to be good buys
I think he has already surpass Carrick in the passing area and in time can match Hargreaves in the defensive side of his game too... I think Paul Scholes days as a first team player will not last beyond this season with the emergence of Anderson Luis de Abreu Oliveira... -
If Owen can maintain his fitness and carrick his form.Originally posted by zocoss:I think Paul Scholes days as a first team player will not last beyond this season with the emergence of Anderson Luis de Abreu Oliveira... -
Glad to see Anderson seizing this opportunity when his fellow midfielders are out injured.
He's got loads of composure for a 19 year old.
His range of passing is pretty good too.

I think he is still over-rated.He has nothing to shout about, really.
In passing, he can't beat scholes, in tackling, owenH, and in committment, carrick.
till date, he is just an effective player, not a special player.
but nani has potential to be even better than ronaldo.
he is more willing to track back, and surprisingly, his tackles are quite good. -
Rooney confident over Anderson
After a difficult start to life at Old Trafford following his £17million summer arrival from FC Porto, a problem Sir Alex Ferguson put down to his stint at the Copa America in Venuzuela, Anderson has improved with each game.
The 19-year-old produced probably his most effective performance so far alongside Darren Fletcher against Kiev and with Owen Hargreaves and Michael Carrick still out, Ferguson seems certain to give the fledgling partnership more time to flourish.
"Anderson has come in and done really well," said Rooney.
"A lot of people don't realise how young he is. But he has great confidence and belief in his own ability and has produced some good performances recently." -
May be over rated now. But he's still young, given time, he may be a better playerOriginally posted by iceFatboy:I think he is still over-rated.He has nothing to shout about, really.

I don't think he is over-rated one bit... If he perform like he did in his last 2, 3 matches... Then he is definitely better than them... if not now, very soon when he has settle in.Originally posted by iceFatboy:I think he is still over-rated.He has nothing to shout about, really.

Strange that the things that you mentioned are all qualities of each very good individual player... But in Anderson, he seem to have a unify strength of their talent... In Scholes, he can pass but don't seem to be able to tackle well... In Hargreaves, its like the opposite... Then with Carrick I call him the slow-mo man, not aggressive enough... Anderson has shown more aggression in his last 2 games than Carrick has for the whole of this season i think...
This in itself is a great quality to have in one player alone. And lets not forget, this is a 19 yrs old in his first season we are talking about, the other 3 guys are all seasoned and experienced players who have been to the WC, some even more than once...
-
whatever. they are all man utd players.
all those who doubted the 4 of them, get ready to eat your hearts out. they are all very young, apart from hargreaves, who is already quite an accomplished player. they still have plenty of room for improvement. -
Another good performance from Anderson...

Can only remember one misplaced pass from him throughout the match.Originally posted by zocoss:Another good performance from Anderson...
Was also pretty strong going forward, Boro needed 3 players to hack the ball off him. -
Yeah that second all important goal that Rooney got was also down to him running and chasing the boro players then Nani joint in the chase...Originally posted by omgukilledkenny:Can only remember one misplaced pass from him throughout the match.
