He need a head coach who would help and develop him as a player. Similar with Niko Kalinic.

a bit left appointment from Boro

Rochina had a decent career but I certainly wouldnt have him down as an "absolutely brilliant player." Had loads of natural ability and skill but his decision making was poor and when he got chances to start he tended to be ineffective.

Was an absolutely brilliant player who's career seemed to just stop once he left Granada a few seasons ago. Played in Europe - One of the few transfers we got right during the first 18 months of V ownership

Agreed very odd behaviour from @chaddyrovers Anderson definitely has the shirt for now, probably similar for Rogers vs Bellingham too. But we all know who is more likely to step up in a big game against better opposition and make an impact.

All very not much of a surprise is it! We've been fcuked over since day one..the fans have been saying this for some fifteen long years.

You could get a Ford Escort (MK1) for about 1200 books!

Agree with this, he was a little passive and didn’t demand the ball enough. Often he was pushing onto their midfielders to make space for others. It wasn’t an easy game to play in though with 3 different formations and no consistent midfield partner which left him a bit isolated at times like Tuchel said after. For his first senior start in a hostile atmosphere against tough opposition, he did well and will learn a lot from it. Other more experienced players such as Bellingham, Rice or Eze didn’t have the best of nights either.

An Albanian team that were also demoralised after finally going behind I would have very much liked to have seen how Wharton got on from that point, but he was replaced as soon as England went ahead, so he never got a chance to show play against a "different" Albanian team

To be fair, Anderson came on for 15 minutes at a time when we were totally dominant, in the lead and against a tired Albania.

We cant do that, too much money is made selling names on shirts 😉

My job was to stay out the way

Thought he was quiet last night. The biggest difference when Anderson came on was how he nips around the pitch and is always demanding the ball and therefore recieves more passes. Not just showing for the ball but shouting for it. He therefore gets noticed more and has more chance to shine. Adam was a bit passive and whilst showed for the ball, you could see he wasnt demanding it or talking much to his team mates. Understandible hes not going to be like that straight away. Hopefully will get more chances to grow into it. Anderson seems to have the personalilty to do it straight away and therefore I think he stands out more. Id love Wharton to be a regular, but thought we looked better in midfield when Anderson came on for the last 15. Showed with the goals.

That's football people speak nowadays and is it that hard to understand really when you got people like Tuchel, Pep, Klopp and Ismael using them in media conference or comments

It didnt show that he is the best midfielder in the league, thats my point. He obviously isnt, there are clearly midfielders better than him. Those stats merely proved that he has done the most of each of those stats in the first 10 games, that isnt proof that he is the best midfielder in the league. As I said, Wharton did rank higher yesterday than Anderson in certain stats, including apparently (I am very skeptical of these stats full stop) creating the most chances in the game. Unsure why you follow a random Forest page but they pre selected the stats in Anderson's favour, missed the ones in Wharton's favour, and didnt factor in the state of the game when the sub was made and the different circumstances. The higher rating for Wharton isnt based on opinion, its based on an accumulation of the (as I said flawed) stats. You have repeatedly shown an incapability to question things, even taking things out of context. Youve done it with the crap that comes out of the liars at Rovers before, taking any spin as the gospel truth.

If that’s the way we have to talk about football now, fine, so let’s get rid of squad numbers then.

I am still questioning if it was even legit or just some internet rumour around the anniversary kit leak, can anyone confidently say either way?

Please can we stop calling it the 'number 6' or the 'number 8' role and just say what position it is, for the benefit of those who don't worship at the altar of daft football jargon, please? Thanks.

My take on it is that Adam is probably the more naturally talented player but, AT THE MOMENT, Anderson is being very effective for England and clearly fits with how Tuchel wants to play. Adam needs to take any opportunity to show he is the obvious stand-in for Anderson. I'm not sure he did that last night. It's difficult when you only have limited chances but that's the nature of elite sport. Adam's timing may be unfortunate - he would be ideal in an England team playing possession, using wing backs, etc. but Tuchel's not playing that way. Hopefully he'll get more chances - maybe he will become an impact player coming on for Anderson when the opposition tiring so his killer passing can be really damaging?

Question things? Oh give a rest FFS Yes Sky Sports pundits were discussing Anderson and showed how he the number 1 Midfielder in the PL. As I repeatedly said Anderson is more suited to play the 6 role than Wharton under Tuchel's tactics Higher rating? Based on people's opinion on each person performance Give it rest RF99. If those stats were in Wharton favour, you been all over it like a rash and shouting it from roof tops Always Downplaying who we played, the fact of the matter we can beat who we play. The fact of the matter Anderson is much suited to our we want our number 6 to play

I find it a little strange how you are seeking out Forest twitter pages to back up Anderson. I also think your inability to question things is summed up by how you are interpreting these stats. Because Anderson is top of a list of random stats, you stated that hes the best midfielder in the Premier League the other day. Now you are passing on these stats today as if they prove your point or that he was more effective. They are different types of players and they featured in different ways and at totally different stages of the game. Anderson was on for much less time but the game was totally different, Albania had conceded, they were knackered and England were totally dominant. He won all of his "ground duels" (very vague phrase) which was 1 of 1, for example. The stats quoted are seemingly from fotmob but they have also been cherry picked. Wharton has a higher rating, and created the most chances out of everyone in the game apparently. Point being, dont just take randomly selected and inherently flawed stats as proof of certain conclusions. Are you basing this purely on a few England games against poor opposition?

Anderson may be a better player but its a squad game and we need decent back up should injuries disrupt.

Hate to say it but Anderson is a better player right now

I can’t stand the way the club tweets about the team it’s so bloody patronising “Despite a huge effort and battling performance with some good spells the game ends in defeat. Wythenshawe 2 - 0 Rovers”
