Active in draw
Anderson registered four shots (zero on goal) in Tuesday's 0-0 draw versus Ghana.
Analysis: Anderson helped his team around the pitch but was unable to capitalize on his finishing chances during a favorable contest. The central man has enjoyed plenty of freedom to attack while featuring alongside Declan Rice in a double pivot against weak opposition. He remains with one assist in two games but could find opportunities to increase his counts in the upcoming clash with Panama.
Records debut assist
Anderson recorded one assist on one chance created to go along with a shot and a cross in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Croatia.
Analysis: Anderson started in his World Cup debut Wednesday and didn't disappoint, as the midfielder was productive from his deep-lying playmaker role. He would earn his highlight in the 47th minute, linking up with Jude Bellingham for a goal. He would also add some work in the defense, notching two clearances, two tackles and four interceptions. He will be a crucial piece of the team in his central role and is likely to already be involved, starting off the tournament with 47 passes in game one.
