derek1872 548 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Anderson is pish!He isn't. He just has a very poor temperament. He can't handle pressure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzalivesforever 1,985 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 He isn't. He just has a very poor temperament. He can't handle pressure.if he doesn't hit the big numbers early then he's in trouble. He just hasnt been the same player in 2012. Had a piss poor premier league campaign and now a bad world championship. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Just caught up on yesterday's darts.Cracking day, Whitlock-Chisnal was the match of the tournament by far, and Wade was surprisingly good for someone who's barely thrown a dart all year.

Creampuff 22,628 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 That's the thing. If he gets on top he is as good as any player.Absolutely not.He's up there with the very best in terms of scoring, but his finishing is fucking abhorrent.If a Van Barneveld, Chisnal or Whitlock were playing him, they can afford to give him the scoring advantage he has, because they'll get a chance to checkout in every leg. I've never seen a player so highly ranked or regarded who is so poor at hitting a double. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen a player so highly ranked or regarded who is so poor at hitting a double.He only starts missing doubles when thr pressure is on. If he is ahead and full of confidence he will hit a decent percentage of doubles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is ahead and full of confidence he will hit a decent percentage of doubles.Read what you just wrote.When he's already winning, the pressure is off, and he's at top levels of confidence then - and only then - he hits a decent percentage of doubles.You can't be a top player, or up there with the best with that. There's not a player on the tour that doesn't double well when he's winning, pressure off and feeling good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not a player on the tour that doesn't double well when he's winning, pressure off and feeling good.That's my point though. His scoring is as good if nit better than any other player so when he is buzzing he will get to doubles first. I agree with what you say but I have seen him at times unbeatable.

I agree with what you say but I have seen him at times unbeatable.Hit scoring doesn't let him dominate matches though, because he'll always miss his first chance on the double, effectively handing his opponent an extra three darts to catch him.
