Apart from being at fault for the goal.

No love for this guy, thought he was excellent today.

Him and Hall were stand outs.

I was enjoying the Gordon-Anderson-Hall triangle for large parts of the match.

Very poor on the goal, didn't know where he was.

 

Outside of that, he had a good first half in a position he's not used to.

[Lush Vlad]

I thought he looked a bit, scared is the wrong word, but safe on the ball at times. Compared to his usual self, I mean. Got himself in some great areas and there was a good early pass on and he would turn it down in favour of extra touches. 
 

Nitpicking, though. Whilst was poor for the goal. His effort and defensive ability in an unnatural position were both top class. Really do like his attitude and the way he puts himself about. 
 

On the first point. That was a problem for most of our players. Take Trippier, Botman and Schar out the team and we don’t really have anyone with an eye for a pass, bar Bruno. Bit of a wider issue and something that needs addressing when finances allow. Hall certainly tries to get it up the pitch along the deck, mind.

Weak stuff tonight. I'm in the 'have deep patience' camp for him, but this was a disappointing one. Didn't like the positions he spent much of the match in.

[SUPERTOON]

I just don’t see any particular stand out attribute he has.

[Gallowgate Toon]

Feels like we try to be too clever with him and Gordon a la Joelinton/Willock when the mix of attributes isn't the same. Gordon is such a a threat when properly wide as he has options to use his pace. 

[johnny36]

Maybe its just me but I dont rate him as highly as others..50 odd games , no goals

[Jordan]

I think he’s bang average. Never seen anything from him that says otherwise. Would pick him over Longstaff every game though without a second thought. 

[Yorkie]

I thought he was alright and had a few good moments; set someone away and got behind in the first half, and did extremely well to win a free-kick at one point in the second. He didn't really affect the game though. 

 

I think it's one of them where, in addition to Longstaff, you've just got one too many CMs in there where the quality is lacking a bit. 

 

Difficult to predict at this point where he might go with us. I like him but would probably be tempted by a good offer given the 'pure profit' craic. He's easily capable so you wouldn't be shocked if a promoted club tested the water.

Yeah. I feel a bit sorry for him. Playing in that hybrid left back/dovetail setup with Gordon. It just doesn’t work. 
 

[Holloway]

He hasn't really stood out in an attacking capacity apart from very occasional flashes, fuck knows what his role is meant to be

[Geogaddi]

He's one of them players that you see play and wonder what does he actually do , like he never stands out or does anything of note really and sometimes you have to double check he's actually on the pitch to know he's playing .

[Smal]

thought he was ok tbh but Joelinton is obviously much better and understands how to play the position infinitely more. 

[Big Geordie]

Anderson is still a young lad and may come good  

 

I thought he did OK tonight.

[TRon]

Man U's young guns looked far more dangerous. He tries hard, but like Longstaff and Murphy just can't control the ball well enough under pressure.

[nemtizz]

Won't judge him too harshly playing with these bums but struggling to beat Amrabat is insane.

[Away Toon]

Just too slow to make use of what looks like a reasonable amount of skill.

[worthy]

Longstaff mk 2

[NWMag]

I think there is still time for him to develop but at the moment, he’s too safe with the ball, scared to make any attempts at creating stuff, and too indecisive in possession (which is a big problem for a lot of our current squad)

[Ronaldo]

Is it really bad to say he’s an honest lad with OK basics and good effort but ultimately doesn’t have anywhere near enough influence on games due to the fact he’s not that talented? Either way he’s not the answer and shouldn’t be starting games next season. Loan spell and see.

[gbandit]

He’s far more technically able than Longstaff but in an attacking sense he never seems to get free of his man and then pick a pass which is a bit of a problem for a wide player 

[Jaqen]

I don't think he's good enough as either a wide player or a CM at this level. He's OK at almost everything but with no real standout attribute.
