Anderson managed to put both Fabregas and Gerrard completely out of games against us, they were forced out of the game by the Brazilian. Having said that, I haven't seen him being outstanding this season by any means and it can be a concern on occasion how up-and-down his passes can be over a game. Some of them are fantastic, some not so much.
Having said that, is he a better player than Fletcher was at his age? Well... basically I think the guy still has a lot of potential and he does show flashes of it (far, far, far more consistently than Nani, that's for sure, who only shows his potential when he batters in a goal and does a backflip) with his long range passing. But I'd like to see him do more as a creative midfielder as he's not quite convinced me entirely in that role as yet. I think in the game where Tevez scored four goals in a Carling Cup tie, he was supposed to be incredible. Oddly enough, that's one of the very very few games I didn't see!
