Guest Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I think Anderson is fine but I think this is his level for us. Going to be a canny squad player capable of starting 12-15 across all comps and make 20 plus sub apps. Takeover and Howe probably came a couple of years too late in his development. If he was 17-18 I'd be thinking he could get to the top. Miley has that bit of extra time to get there for instance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Going off the top of my head that must be what, his fourth PL start? In a team clearly a little low on confidence in terms of our on-the-ball play. Thought he gave a decent account of himself and will only get better.

STM Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) Actually looking at the highlights Anderson had some great moments, some neat turns and touches. Ultimately, I think he's a number 10 playing in an 8. He'd much prefer to be playing further up. A few other notes: Gordon at times is unplayable, still has inconsistent moments. He's a nightmare for opposition. Barnes has a high footballing IQ, his decision making is excellent. Always has his head up. Botman needs wrapped in cotton wool and CB is by far our top priority now. Burn is slowly losing support for a starting position. I'd suggest that by the end of the season he won't be in the side.

Big River Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 not sure where to put this but in the bogs during the first half some absolute knacker having a wizz, doing a key and gagging all at the same time. then starts belting out the Gordon song with all the wrong words different breed.

I’m yet to see anything from him to suggest he will be a good premier league player. Thought Anderson was one of our better players yesterday, was comfortable in everything he did, and certainly wasn't bad by any stretch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronson333 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) Might have already been mentioned but we had eight English players starting yesterday (including Barnes& Anderson). Must be our highest amount for years. Edited September 17, 2023 by Ronson333 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) I dont get the hype with Anderson, he looks decent technically but probably still a decent Championship player. Was at the match yesterday and thought he was poor, to the point i forgot he was playing Its fine at the minute as we dont need to register him but i think come next year or two he will be 22-23 and will need to be registered. He wont play enough to massively improve, most likely a couple of starts and a reasonable amount of sub appearances for maybr 15-20 mins. Probably could have done with a season at a top half Championship team to develop him and get him plenty game time before he starts being a regular in the squad for us Edited September 17, 2023 by NUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tche Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 No-one was going to be a real standout yesterday. 3 loses on the bounce, nervy feeling around the place, it was a just win the game type of scenario. We did that, it was a hard watch but will do wonders for the next few games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 absolutely weird to single Anderson out for criticism haha. It was his third PL game in reality and his first 90. I thought he grew into it and did some good stuff. He’s very good at receiving the ball in between the lines on the half turn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dava1892 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Thomas Frank expecting an apology for the referee decisions yesterday.

maze Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Don’t know why we have stopped playing with intense pressure. Worked so well for us last season I guess it’s a tactic we use this season to sort of counter the low blocks from our opponents. Unfortunately it seems we are unable to take advantage of it in attack. Yesterday’s match was… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piss poor from their keeper. Pen all day long. 16 hours ago, McDog said: Not even up for debate. Was never a penalty. If that was against us I’d be furious. Think the ref only give it because he made the mistake on the Wilson goal. If anything the second one was ever so slightly more of a penalty but again I thought that was rightly overturned. Would’ve been extremely harsh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he'd made up his mind to try and play the ball and tripped Gordon instead, it makes it a stonewaller. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
