The Cafe is getting very high-toned. Latin jokes on football fora are rarae aves.Anderson pro tempore, until someone better comes along.
Really? I've always thought that the more open a game gets the better he looks. He has more space to exploit and usually more time to make a decision/pass. It's when it's tight and you need to be more accurate/patient that I think he struggles.I actually thought he played better in the second half when the game became more stretched, weird.
Yeah I agree with that.Had a good 1st half, but faded so badly again in the 2nd. I will be sad when it happens but his exit is looking very likely.

Not sure I agree with this, he shouldn't be trying to play the same way as Carrick, he isn't Carrick, he offers something different from Carrick.He should watch Michael Carrick closely who keeps it simple and plays a very effective game.
That is the thing, does he offer anything Carrick doesn't?Not sure I agree with this, he shouldn't be trying to play the same way as Carrick, he isn't Carrick, he offers something different from Carrick.
Yeah, he did look disappointed. Had a look of resignation about him I thought.I actually didn't think he looked knackered to be honest. Looked more disappointed than tired.
HilariousCompletely knackered again when he came off
Not lazy in training though
Anonymity against Sunderland isn't a good thing.I didn't really notice him today so I guess that means he didn't do anything wrong.
He was on his last legs mate.I actually didn't think he looked knackered to be honest. Looked more disappointed than tired.
I'm not so sure. I also think a lot of you are making too much fuss about his so called fitness problems. Cleverley has never lasted 90mins for United, yet he seems to evade this criticism that is so readily handed out for Anderson - if anything, I think Anderson's second halves tend to be better than those of Cleverley's.He was on his last legs mate.
Beg to differ. When was the last time Cleverley played two good halves and thus a coherently well played match? Both of them struggle to finish 90 minutes the way they play. It's not good enough by either, but if Ando is to be criticised for this, so should Cleverley - big ass or not!Anderson rarely has 2 good halves of football, whether its to do with his fitness or not. Cleverley far more often has a good game not a good half
Agree. Its becoming a recurring theme with Cleverley lately. Impresses in the first and then goes anonymous for the second.Beg to differ. When was the last time Cleverley played two good halves and thus a coherently well played match? Both of them struggle to finish 90 minutes the way they play. It's not good enough by either, but if Ando is to be criticised for this, so should Cleverley - big ass or not!
The thing is that Cleverley usually plays better than Anderson... and it's his second full season at the club while for Anderson it's the sixth, without any noticeable improvement.Beg to differ.

That's all that I'm expecting from him now, just some consistency and fewer injury concerns. I've given up on him being anything more than a squad player.Too often this season he's been passable and no more. If he stays for next season you'd have to hope we'll see greater consistency from him. Though the signs this season haven't been good in that respect, though we've seen some good performances at times.
