Appearances (All Competitions): 18 (3) Minutes Played (Premier League): 1,276 Assists (All Competitions): 0 Goals (All Competitions): 0 Yellow Cards (Premier League): 3 Red Cards (Premier League): 0 Unfortunately for Anita, if you take the West Ham United victory aside, every single time he performed in his actual position of defensive-midfield he was hopeless - most notably when he was hooked at half-time during the 5-0 loss to Manchester City, having given away a penalty inside 30 seconds. Magnificent against West Ham from defensive-midfield, Anita actually performed pretty well when he was called upon as an emergency full-back in earlier games - operating with aplomb down both sides. Still very much a squad player, however.
