Needs a performance today He's been absolutely fine since he's been in the team like, while he's not been spectacular, he's not looked bad at all.

Ikon Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 If we are focused and on our toes and play with tempo and intensity then we will win. I wonder if we might look “hangover” though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 This is one of those games where I hope I'm completely wrong in my feeling after seeing that starting 11. Disappointed not to see Hall yet, thought this would be a great opportunity for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's usually played on the right of centre midfield so will be a straight swap for Tonali. I think he's not considered safe enough to bring the ball out playing as a deep lying midfielder.

HaydnNUFC Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) I've only been impressed with Anderson at PL level once, away at Forest last season when he come on at half time. He was on the left of the front 3 for that second half rather than in midfield. He has loads on his side though and he should only improve.

Whatever the reasoning i've no doubt it's the manager managing the player workload and picking games he may be more suited too. It's nice to be able to do that, shame the two Joe's aren't available to see the rotation in much more flow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 It looks like Eddie is expecting a bit of an onslaught in the early stages. He wants to make sure we'll stand up to the physical test. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your argument in support of Anderson is that he looked OK in a team that did well. I'm saying I don't think that means anything. The same is true of eg van de Beek.

Theregulars Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I don’t think Anderson is quite there but he does seem to have the ability to create a chance or shot from nothing. Quick feet, good eye for a first time pass. Don’t think he’s a CM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Anderson has found it difficult to get past defenders at this level, he quite often seems to run directly into them. But he does have a go and try to make things happen, just shouldn't expect too much from a lad who was playing at a much lower level not long ago.
