Pelle tells Anderson he will need to change
Speaking after the victory over AFC Wimbledon the manager said: “Felipe needs to adapt his style of play to the Premier League a little bit more – not to run with the ball so much because it’s difficult here with so many fast players.
“But when he has the ball, you feel that something different can happen.”
Anderson was introduced to the action at half time for Pedro Obiang and the boss thought he did well as he sought more invention against a dogged Wimbledon.
He said: “Pedro Obiang was not playing badly, but he had a yellow card and we didn’t want to take any risks to level that up, and I thought we also needed a more creative player and Felipe did well.
He added: “When you are playing against one player less and the minutes are running out, [it’s easy to] try and make crosses from both wings.
But Wimbledon are strong in aerial duels, so we kept working with both full backs wide, with both wingers going in.
I have to congratulate Wimbledon because they played really well. It was very difficult for them to play with one player less, but they fought until the end.”
