Anderson has the first touch of a r@pist. I can't believe some nuccas are branding him creative.

But Anderson @ Porto was super creative. . . They must have put something in his water.

Anderson is one of those players who either players very very well or is woeful. There seems to be no middle ground with his performances.

Anderson was not brilliant in Porto, more like basking in the potential of his Gremio hype. He barely played half a season there, after which a knee injury knocked him out. According to Tim Vickery, the knee injury took some of his acceleration away and he'll never be the same again.

I would say though - the niggas who marketed him as the new Ronaldinho pulled off one of the most daring con tricks in footballing history - the biggest con trick since Nii Odartey Lamptey and Haruna Babangida were rated the best "youngsters" since sliced suya.

Haruna Babangida has more skill than Ronaldo.

Sharap. Nii Odartey Lamptey's Bicycle kick aka Shagalo In Italy 1991 quarter finals vs Brazil is still one of the best goals ever

Do you want to try Harunas records at La Masia

As a united fan i have never understood the hype about Anderson.
What he has going for him is energy and pretty little else.
He has an eye for a pass but his over enthusiasm often lets him down (a bit like Stevie Me).
He is not and has never been creative enough to be called an attacking midfielder.
He is not a defensive midfielder (at least no one has tried to brand him that to my hearing),
So what is he?
He is so one legged it is irritating.
With a gun to his head, he would never try to kick a ball with his right leg.
so that restricts his range of movement and play.
His shooting is erratic.
His dribbling is average.
Have i missed anything else?
although he is better than Gibson, in my opinion.

our midfield needs a serious surgery.
If we are hoping on the likes of Anderson and Gibson, then i am seriously worried.
the personnel at present is way too average to serve as vital ingredients for the future.

One buy i think Fergie will make in the summer is a proven central defender who can be an able back up for Rio and Nemanja and also back up for Rafael
Then Smalling will go on loan and Johny will be 4th choice.

Kusckak is in the window and i think he will be gone in the summer.
A proven keeper will replace Van Der Saar and this Anders guy will be no. 2.
Welbeck and Cleverly will return next season, Owen will retire or go con some millions off a mid table team.

That midfield still needs a clear out and a massive restructuring.

If Anderson is not creative, then Chelsea FC do not have a creative midfielder!

Gbam!!!

Messi as the WPOTY?
*smh*

The only Chelsea midfielder Anderson can compare with is Mikel and Ramires. Shoe get size abeg

Anderson big advantage is that at the moment he is the only midfielder we have who can carry the ball forward with some pace and energy. The rest of our midfielders dont.

I agree that the midfield does need some surgery but i dont think its major surgery. We just need a player with a good turn of pace who is creative in the middle. Best example I can see is Luka Modric.

Anderson is a destroyer, i like the energy he brings in distrupting the opponents play and that for me has a great advantage in a team.

If he continues to destroy the opponents play and gives the ball to a creative midfielder(which i feel we need) who then creates, then I WANT ANDERSON IN MY TEAM.

Anderson has been impressive this last few week and it depends on the gaffer to know which match his style of game fits to be able to get the best outta him.

@ Mbulela

Are u saying Anderson is that bad and does not bring much to the team. He may have a specific function in the team and if he does that excellently well then others should also perform to the best of their ability.

Its a team sport and as such different talents and functions for different positions, apart from fletcher in his element, who is a better destroyer?

Cut Anderson some slack abeg.

Ibime
Spursss ohhh

Fear fear!

We must survive.
Heard VDS is out! Chei!

If our regular backfour can start, we have a chance, Anderson in d middle and Rooney+Berba upfront.

Nani must deliver oh. Lol

Its a huge game. And considering our less than impressive away record probably our toughtest game coming up. I do think Baba will go 4-3-3 though.

Rooney,Berba,Nani with Anderson,Carrick and Fletcher in the middle and usual back 4 with the Pole in Goal.

@TA
How can a formation with Rooney and Berba be 4-3-3?

That formation will be more of a 4-4-2 with one of those midfielders operating from LW

Don't care about d formation tho, a win would send shivers down d spine of others!

anderson, destroyer
is that a joke?

^^ Anderson is a saboteur

Very easily. With Rooney Operating from the left and Nani from the right and Berba down the middle.

Its so dead in here

Anyways, Tomasz wants to be the number when VDS retires in the summer or he'll leave the club.

So that means bye Tomasz.

Mr_TA:

Simple, because we have nothing to worry about.
Our minds are peaceful and at ease compared to the 'you know whos'

He must be mad.
He isn't a bad goalie tho . . . I'd say he's actually deputised really well for VDS and I cant even remember on the top of my head any major blunder he'd committed in recent years.

But I still think he's better as a number 2.

BAd NEws: O'Shea played for the reserves days ago . . . that nucca should break a leg mehn. I was hoping he'd be out for the rest of the season.

He will have a set back no worry. I have his names engraved in TB Josh temple. He will request for transfer to Ass-anal this summer.

We have a semi-final second leg to worry about - sounds like a good thing to me unlike some folk who got Atikued by West Yam a few weeks ago.

@ Dobo,
shut up and go back to ur miserable thread and argue about what went wrong when a team 36 places below u guys just fingered le' prof and his boys in d a,ss.

^^ Sharrap there. As long as we qualify for the finals, it doesn't matter.

We just showed how West Ham should be defeated. . . .tell your boys to watch the tape to prevent another 4-0 butt expansion in the future.

VDS, Rafael, Rio, Vidic, Evra, Carrick, Fletcher, Giggs, Nani, Rooney, Berba

Lucky Escape!

Well that was a very frustrating watch. I've never noticed our final ball to be so poor before.Really disappointed with that.

Rafael only has himself to blame for that red.  He's such a good player but he really needs to get his head right. We really miss Park and Valencia right now. On a day when Nani and Giggs are poor it would have been good to have the option.

Oh well. 1 point away to spurs is nothing to sniff at. So good to know we have the best defendes in the country though. Vidivc and Ferdinand so Beastly.

HNIC:

I agree, spurs were really lucky today. even with 10 men, they could have lost. and they didnt even cause or keepers any problems.

Naah
The Spuddies were not sharp today at all
VDV,Crouchie,Defoe etc were poor.
On another day, it woulda been a different story

Can't agree. May he was rash with d 1st yellow. But d 2nd yellow was a joke. Ekotto ran across him, he never even tried to make a challenge. In fact he was trying to get out of the way. It was a foul but not a yellow card offense at all.

I agree with that, but when you make a rash challenge for the first like he did, you make yourself a target for any ref. So i think he is more to blame for the red that not even though i thought it was a harsh 2nd yellow.
