Michael van Gerwen on Gary Anderson Why do I need to make a statement? I think after the World Championship Im playing better darts at the moment, said Van Gerwen.I won the Masters, the UK Open, Im higher than him in the rankings and I just need to do my own thing.Its fantastic that he won those trophies because they are the most important ones, but at this moment its not about the past, its about the future. Gary Anderson has raised his game against Van Gerwen in the past Anderson is hoping to put his play-off push back on track after a 7-3 defeat to Phil Taylor and has suggested that Van Gerwen still has plenty of work to do if he wants to surpass the achievements of The Power.Last week, against Phil didnt go to plan but I always enjoy playing Michael, said Anderson. Hes pushing everyone else at the moment and hes been brilliant this year, theres no doubt about that.Hes a fantastic player and what hes doing on the dartboard at the moment is tremendous - but people have got to remember that Phil Taylors been doing this for 25 years or so. Michaels been doing this for two or three years so hes got a long way to go yet. Phil Taylor suffered an opening night defeat to Raymond van Barneveld Taylor has opened a three-point lead at the top of the table, but is wary of a backlash from Raymond van Barneveld.The Dutchman dished out a defeat to his old rival on night one, but has struggled since then and badly needs two wins from his matches against Taylor and Robert Thornton.I know Barneys going to play well because hes a wounded tiger, said Taylor.Hes a cracking player and he puts his heart on his sleeve and tries his hardest; he puts everything into it. Taylor and Van Barneveld produced a dramatic Premier League match in 2007 Looking back on his opening-night defeat, Taylor added: I think Rays done me a favour, it gave me the kick I needed.At the time, I was playing really well, I thought I was going to thrash him but I didnt and he beat me. I wasnt playing well enough and I had to get back on the practice board - if it wasnt for him I could have been miles in front [in the table]!Watch all of the Premier League action from night 11 in Belfast, starting at 7pm on Sky Sports 1.

Im here to do what I feel that I can do, and to feel happy and to feel that I am an important key in the team that I am working for, and if I dont have that Im not interested to carry on.You always have some interests outside but I think maybe when the decision is one hundred per cent sure, we will see what we are looking at after that.
