not seen enough of Anderson to tell if he'll keep it up, but he's put a couple of performances in so far this season that suggest he's every bit as good a player as gerrard, and a better passer of the ball for certain.

I'm not denying gerrard is a quality player, at one point he even looked like he might make a world class box to box midfielder, but it just never seemed to materialize.
I just said on current form I'd pick Hargreaves in preference to gerrard for various reasons, which I would and I bet steve mclaren wishes he had/could have done for the last 3 or 4 england games too.

for the record, I also said Mascherano is better than gerrard.
