You were in a hurry . Henry B Anderson F . Maybe it should have been Anderson B - Henry F. Now that's what we call biased judgement. It was at least funny. You were in a hurry . Henry B Anderson F .

There is so much lacking in his game. He has pace and a good inwards dribble from the right and a good right foot - but that's it. His pace ensures, he often doesn't get the ball with him, and his inwards dribble from the right makes him an easy read. He surely hasn't shown that much, and I have serious doubts about his talent, because his faults are exactly the same that I've seen from him in the last 2-3 years (and I have watched him on several occasions).

Before I respond, allow me to state that these are only my opinions. :) They're not Gospel and you are all, by all means, entitled to disagree. Ok so regarding <strong>Anderson</strong>: why an F when he's played so little. Because like I said, the times he played, he played badly. For someone that the club paid €25m to get, I expected him to shine a lot sooner, and for not he's now shown a return of investement. Remember like I said, opinions not facts, and the season's still very long, this is a preliminary grading. <strong>Hargreaves</strong> hasn't played a lot, but has played well. I could have given him a B+, but preferred to see and wait how he'll do in the long run. Compared to Anderson, he hasn't sucked for a €25m price-tag which is why I'm willing to give him more time. Concerning <strong>Nani</strong>, I maintain my vote. He's got great talent, and in the Man Utd pre-season matches I followed he's always played outstanding. <strong>Tevez</strong>: in my opinion, the Chelsea goal (a very important one) boosted him up to a B+. If I had to grade him before the Chelsea match, he'd still get at least a B. Ok, it seems that a lot of you have issues with the grades I’ve given to the Man Utd players specifically.

best buy has to be ribery. what a talent. but the wrong club sadly simply because the bundesliga is not as competitive as the other 3 major leagues.

nani has shown much promise yes ability to hold on is under critisism so he gets B or if u insist A-

Hargo has been amazing in all the games he has played clean tackels holding the ball clean and smooth run ups he definately get A+

Anderson on the other hand has played really less
Secondly both anderson and nani were purchased 1 year in advance due to high rate of interest in them from foreign clubs

And considering the couple of minutes he has played for us he has been looking good in fighting for the ball is first five minutes on OT were delightfull to see
Justa toddler left on the park to run behind the glowing candy filled ballon

So considering all that it was better u could have eased out by Not Grading him or atleast B- or something like that

And yes repeat with me five times Daniel Taylor is an asshat Daniel Taylor is an asshat Daniel Taylor is an asshat Daniel Taylor is an asshat :-)
