I see a lot of you are in favour of leaving out the premierships highest goalcorer this season, and who scored 5 in his last league game.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Yes sometimes in the past when we've played them together Anderson's naiveness in defense plus Scholesy's inability to run around covering for anderson would mean this would a disastrous pairing in the middle.
However, as part of a midfield three along with carrick i feel they represent our best formation in the big away games and those tricky games like Arsenal
Sorry to be pedantic but thats cum not come!. Plus i agree
Yes they did actually. The first time Anderson played in a Man Utd shirt, he replaced Carrick against Wigan and we played quite well actually. This i believe was in the middle of our run of 4-0's back in the day.
I used to like you clique. You've changed.
Yeah, you used to be gay man.....
I always wonder that too.
His first competitive game was home to Sunderland as part of a central midfield trio with Hargreaves and Scholes, when he came off at HT for Saha (who scored the winner).
Meh against Sunderland he played up top, and as you say came off at HT
That Wigan game, I think Anderson came on for (of all people) Nemanja Vidic who came off injured, of course, what we saw was John O'Shea who started in midfield going back into the back four, before he himself had to be replaced by Danny Simpson nine minutes later. Carrick, Fletcher, Hargreaves were all injured before the game began.
Anderson's second Premier League game.
Arsenals´s weakest point is no doubt the defence + Park and Rooney would help our CM`s.
1) If Scholes is fit then he should be in the team.
2) I´m happy with Anderson´s form........Carrick´s and Fletcher´s isn´t good enough in the last weeks.
Swedish telly have just shown highlights from us ending their unbeaten streak. fecking buzzing for this game now.. Can't it just be Monday?
Rooney's dive. What a proud moment to be a United fan.
One of the most blatant penalties i've ever seen not given just prior to that, Funny, that never gets a mention
You might have a point, but I genuinely don't even recall that.
It was probably why we got the next decision because there was such an uproar over the first, certainly from where i was sitting anyway. But no-one ever remembers/cares when we've a stonewall penalty not given, they'd rather dwell on the dubious one that was.
Oh I see, because YOU thought you should have had a pen beforehand (no one else did as far as I can recall) it justifies Rooney cheating.
Well looky here, Arsenal fans getting all moral about players cheating to win penaltys, how amusing, unbelievable hypocrisy to.
Where did i say that it justifies cheating? When a referee clearly makes a hash of the first penalty decision he'll nearly always try to make up for it with the 2nd. If he hadnt given us either he wouldnt have got out of OT alive.
Pires dive against pompey justifies Rooneys actions, he was doing it for Portsmouth.
Plus, we won the game 2-0, so just keep barking on how injustice that is the penalty stopped the unbeaten run.
There was an absolute stonewaller a couple of minutes after Rooney's, don't remember one before it though.
They've more than made up for it with hundreds of soft penalty's since then, Chamakh alone has cheated his way to half a dozen already this season, what about Eduardo against Celtic?
Its just Arsenal hypocrisy whenever this argument arises, they are the kings of the cheated penalty, but cry foul whenever it goes against them.
No way you were winning the game without the dive (and your mate Mike Riley, who should have sent Ferdinand off for taking out Ljungberg)..
You don't know that. You want to believe that though.
FFS. Do these gimps remember every decision of every game that doesnt go their way. The gooners have to be the most paranoid set of fans you're ever likely to meetGood job your lads have never resorted to cheating then, isn't it? I don't know how you'd be able to live with yourself.
It's pretty fecking obvious, no one looked like scoring until Ronney dived, the second goal was irrelevant as we had to try and get a last minute equaliser to try and counter Riley (your best man on the day).
Pires, Eduardo and co would never resort to diving
Webb's doing the game on Monday. He's notorious for bizarre decisions against us - Adebayor's red v Liverpool just one example. Not as bad as Riley though. This isn't paranoia, it's just fact.
We're not taking any lectures from you who fielded King (Muff) Diver himself.
I never said that. I was merely referring to this game. I'm not proud if we win a game through cheating. That was the point.
He ran at such a high speed that any slight touch would, er....knock him off balance....oh, feck it, he doesn't play for us anymore. I can't be arsed.
Its exactly what it is. Your paranoia stems from only remembering the decisions that go against you. You cant be serious that Howard Webb has only ever made dubious decisions that have gone against your team, and never made any that have benefitted you's.
I thought Webb had got over it the last game (he's hated us since the League cup final v Chelsea, since he thought it's the kind of feck up that could ruin a career). He is a poor judge of the game though and relies on his crowd control to impress, which is always dangerous.
Pete, you're pathetic.
I'd like to see Pete's prediction.
But at the same time, you're proud of the unbeaten run, even though one of those games were based on a dubious penalty that helped you avoid defeat. Let's not get dragged into the which-penalty-is-right-or-wrong debate here, it's for another thread. But I just want to point out how hypocritical it is of you to sit on high horse all those times.
I gave up predicting a long time ago. Bad karma. Travel hopefully and see where you arrive.
So no chance Chamakh and Van Persie start together right?
Am I totally tripping balls or is there Arsenal fans in here trying to take some kind of moral high ground about diving?
