He will only improve his strike rate when he actually learns how to shoot.
The statement was funny. You seem to think I've said it was wrong.
If Anderson scores goals as important as most of Iniesta's I'd be delighted.
Aye. It would seem that's the case. Nothing to see here.
Anderson needs to learn he can pass the ball into the net. He loses balance winding up for a shot and hardly ever makes a clean strike. Time yet, it could well come.
His short passes are harder than his shots.
They are indeed sir, and and he can hit pretty good medium and long range passes as well. Just a question of learning how to stay cool when there's a net looming up, as far as I can see.
According to Wiki:
9 goals - 31 apps (Gremio)
3 goals - 25 apps (Porto)
3 goals - 10 apps (Brazil)
Shows he can score, just out of practice with us playing him deeper in midfield earlier that's all.

Yeah you keep dreaming son!
He's on fantastic form !
Didn't look best pleased with SAF about coming off.
probably for the best, we'll need him for the upcoming fixtures.

I wouldn't too having to be replaced by that lard Gibbo!!
Great disguised pass for the second goal. At least he's living up to 'the new Ronaldinho' tag. Just joking
Love the lad, he plays with such zest and oozes class
What a difference a few months make on the caf.
Excellent performance, again. We've got an absolutely top-notch midfielder on our hands if he keeps this up for the rest of the season.
Had another very good performance today. United lost control of midfield when Gibson replaced him.
Hell of a shot to hit the crossbar... And he's getting into better positions. A bit anonymous at times but keeps up the positive trend... Finally 
He looked like a goal threat in this match
Hope that puts to bed the whole "he cant play in a 442" arguement. Still i like seeing that we have a CMF other than Scholes who can pick a forward pass!
And it seems like hes finding his shooting range

he's been brilliant lately and long may it continue!
He truly is the new Nani. Unlucky to not get a goal today. I assume he'll be playing on Tuesday which is why he came off today.
Our midfield became meh once he was subbed after a quick flurry of great passing.
Young and learning. Has a very good period right now and keeps improving, but there are signs he's coming of age. Only 22 though, he's got so much more to offer. Another (very) good performance today, more of the same on Tuesday please.
Really is doing well as a schemer these days and does look a threat, which he didnt for a long time. Until recently a team coming up against United with Anderson in midfield, wouldnt have to worry about him. They'd deal with the other players United had on the field.
These days any team coming up against United with Anderson in midfield will be forced to deal with him too. They cannot allow him to run with the ball through the middle and play his passes into the strikers and they do have to close him down because he can shoot.
his drive and energy were great in our midfield in the first half
Brilliant again, we turned a bit crap when he went off which was a little worrying but it makes sense with brum on tuesday night.
On this form hes a level above anything else we have in there, another fabulous display.
I loved it when he went up to challenge Gordon and ran into the goal - got the crowd going. Keep it sup son, keep it up Ander-son.
He was absolutely spectacular today. Ran the midfield - incisive passing, great runs and useful tackling.
Right now, he's the firsy name in the midfield when you're selecting the team.

He was good. Defensively he is lazy though. He will not get away with playing in a midfield two with a partner other than Carrick.
Do I remember it wrong or did he made the no look pass to Berbatov for the 2nd goal?
Indeed he did.
Didn't think there was too much wrong with him in that department, today. Won his share of tackles on the edge of our box and in the centre of the pith, which was useful. Nothing excessive, but there wasn't too much of this to do. He sometimes failed to track his man, but it wasn't a problem.
Him and Carrick look to be a good partnership.
Looked like it.
Yeah I was pointing it out to my dad during the replay - very confident player at the moment.
I think it's a stamina issue not laziness. When you run around like him you need to rest at times and he chooses to do that when United defend.
Any team would lose control of a midfield when Gibbo the Hippo comes on. It was his first match in ages but he really seems to lack a footballing brain....unless he has to shoot.
Anderson was great again. His passing has improved even more. Great, incisive passes to Rooney today.
