He's one of those players that i'd rather not keep but if we do end up with him i wouldnt mind either. I'd rather him not with us though.TM wrote:Does this mean you will keep him?

As usual he is playing very well and barely putting a foot wrong.

Very unselfish from Anderson as he could've had his first goal for United. Hat trick for Tevez though
Unselfish is one way to look at it. He probably would have found a way to miss

Yay, we could retain the mickey mouse cup.
Still, would be one more piece of silverware that Newcastle haven't won in over 60 years

It is a mystery to me why he still hasnt scored even once. For someone with his energy he should be in the box m ore often then he is.L.r.d wrote:forza_rossi wrote:Beautiful move. Tevez scores 4-1

I do realize he is erratic but i am talking about him getting into the box more often. Surely this must improve with experience.COTR wrote:forza_rossi wrote:It is a mystery to me why he still hasnt scored even once.L.r.d wrote:forza_rossi wrote:Beautiful move. Tevez scores 4-1

Anderson is the reason why Lrd rates Rafael so much. His expectations have been lowered dramatically.

Derbyshire with another one. Neville's days are really numbered now which saddens me.

5-3
Tevez gets his fourth
Full time and it ends as 5-3. This game was full of positives all round. Tevez must stake a claim for a start at the weekend now. He took his chances well today. Anderson also had a good game. All in all apart from Neville's days being almost up as a top player, It was a really good game.

Tevez would not be on the bench if he had proven he was good enough over the time he has been at united
He hasn't so he finds himself on the bench

Ferguson has hit on a pretty successful strategy here of having a £30m striker and keeping him rested for the Carling Cup. If Man Utd and Spurs aren't drawn together then they should make it through to the final with ease. They'll both play strong teams and with the two-legs it diminishes the chance of a shock result, so hopefully they do get drawn together (I know a Spurs-Man Utd final would be a better spectacle, but even in this competition it wouldn't be much fun to see that as an Arsenal fan!).

He is lucky he only has one of the worst right backs in the world ahead of him to get a place
When is the Wesley back anyway ?

Just a note of caution Lrd.
Just cast your mind back to what you were saying about anderson last year and now think of the laughing stock he has become
Give him a chance to get out of his nappies instead of hyping after a game in which he has been part of a defence that conceded three goals
You can thank me for this advice later in the season

Very impressed with you lot, thought we were a bit slack, and got a bit lucky with the penalty and Your 'keeper was poor on Bent's goal. You were well up for it, and Priskin was a constant thorn in the side. You were winning most of the lose balls until DeMeritt, came off, that seemed to suck the life out of you, and Watford then ran out of steam.Pierre Littbarski wrote:Congrats to the Yids

Good game - hopefully you can use it as a springboard to get out of relegation trouble
