The scary part is, I don't see what the potential upside of Antony is. His best trick is a really slow and inaccurate imitation of Robben and you can't play him on the left because half the squad already plays there XD
The potential upside of Antony is the pure industry he offers us. He grafts more than any winger at our club currently! Antony reminds me so much of Antonio Valencia, both were extremely one-footed. Both were great grafters. Both were frustrating in the final third too. Hot take 🔥 but if we were to play a back 3 I think his qualities lend well to being a wing back.

In my opinion, Amad has the potential to have a better overall season being our starting RW than Antony, he might not just have the same opportunity as Antony cos he’s not Ten Hags record signing. I know he’s injured atm so we’d have to wait and see if he gets the minutes his stats last season shows he deserves

I think the main issue is the recruiting department. Man Utd need of a right winger is no secret. Antony was never near the price tag in the first place, but the recruiting team just allow the price to be inflated. All of sudden, a mediocre player worth 85 million and people start expecting him to be a top player. He was never near the top. He does not have the direct running as a young Hazard, nor the dribbling skill of a young Neymar, nor the speed of a young Bale, nor the creativity of a young Coutinho. He was just an average flashy winger with some fancy but mostly ineffective footwork even at Ajax.
Why no mention of Pellistri ? On the few occasions he has been given minutes he has performed well . Ten Hag continues with Antony because he pushed through his recruitment.
ETH decisions are quite worrying so far and some of his former season stars are just out of form so far. hope ETH gives the youngsters more chance to play so that his stars understand they must deserve their place in the MU team
When ETH first came to United, everybody talked about how much United were going to possess the ball more often. United's training sessions were primarily possession. ETH brought in the players to play that way including Antony, Eriksen, Martinez and even Malacia. Now he's abandoned that playing style and now these players can't do what they were brought in to do anymore.
I am not saying that Rashford decion making is excelent, but I don't think I have ever seen a worse football player (or as bad) as Antony when it comes to decisions..so Marcus is much better
@@AtlantisFootball Stop waffling mate, Rashford doesn't even look for a pass when he cuts in. You can say he has better dribbling or shooting but don't lie and say he has better decision making.
His decision making is far better than Antony, that’s why he scored 30 goals in the league last season. It’s not waffle at all, any neutral fan can tell you that. Just admit Antony isn’t good enough. I don’t no why you are trying to bring Rashford into this debate about Antony
I love Antony and was very excited when we signed him as I trust Ten Hag and Antony looked exciting but I do agree with all you said and he is currently very frustrating
i feel the same way. i like the guy and his passion but unfortunately he's not good enough for prem league so is ten hag . i'm sure there were a lot fans were excited when ten hag came last year but this point on will be disappointed
I fully agree with your analysis here. I’m getting more & more frustrated watching Antony play in the last 2 games. The guy is just so predictable when it comes to dribbling and decision making. I could somewhat look over this last season since it was his first season at OT. However, this is the 2nd season so if he won’t improve, I would like Ten Hag to give the opportunity to Pellistri. But lets be honest, we all know that this will never happen lol
Even when he played in the Netherlands, I was never impressed by Anthony. Evra said it perfectly, he is a 1 trick poney, and I am convinced that he will never be a top player. When I heard they paid 100 million for Anthony I could not believe it. Anthony SEEMED good because at Ajax he was flanked by good players like Mazraoui (currenty Bayern)
He was decent at Ajax but needed a move to somewhere like Leverkusen or Dortmund. Was always going to be wishful thinking to think he was good enough to be a starter. Maybe as a second choice RW but not for £80m
The initial three matches I observed with Anthony made me believe he might become another disappointment for Manchester United. Consequently, whenever I witness Manchester United placing their faith in this player, whom Scholes referred to as a "one-trick pony," it gives me the impression that the club's standards have dropped, and they're unlikely to achieve significant success.
As a United fan I dont want this sort of things to be true, I always hope our players do well..but I have always said, players like him and Sancho who have to beat the same player 2-3 times to make something happen...when they beat defenders they don't completely leave them for dead like Rashford and Ganacho do, the defender always has a chance to get back. Those sort of players more often than not will struggle in the Premier league
Why didn't we sign Adama Traore for free since we're going to play transition football this season? He's a good dribbler, good in transition and can put in decent crosses for Hojlund
We can’t afford to have mediocre players wear the united shirt, sorry but harsh reality. Most players in the current squad aren’t united level. Atleast not the level I would expect after witnessing Ronaldo, Rooney, Scholes, Keane, Giggs etc wear this shirt. United really struggle to sign players that are “worthy” to wear this shirt. We need to stop signing mid players. United isn’t a broke club. If we progress like this, united will become less and less appealing for world class players to sign for us, if there is no positive outlook. Who would want to waste his career at united? There is still hope, and I haven’t given up on the club, but the days are over when united is club that world class players dream to play for one day…
@@ALARGADORDECU sign a mediocre player for a lot of money or sign a mediocre player for cheap is almost the same thing, in a way that we shouldn’t sign mid players in the first place..
@@ALARGADORDECU yeah but we shouldn’t have signed shitty expensive players either. It’s not about Antony for 100 mil vs Adama for very cheap, we could have signed a quality winger for 100 mil
Mount off the right progressing the ball through combination play with AWB could be a solution if we sign Amrabat in the midfield role. I think even if we play McTominay in that role and shift Mount out there, we'd benefit more and have the added benefit of height and physicality in midfield to counter press and defend in transition more effectively than we are currently. McTominay's ability to carry from deep as well can be useful depending on the situation. Not sure why we haven't done this yet.
You're so right about Anthony but the next thing is what is the manager doing about it we as fans can see the problem but the manager won't tell him what to do i personally don't rate ten hag
The team will be balanced with hojlund as a number 9 and rashford gets back to the LW in this case even Onana will have variety of choices to pass either play from the back or use the wingers and straight to number 9……We are still hopefull for improvement
HOW ABOUT DOING A VIDEO TITLED"HOW RASHFORD'S BAD DECISIONS AND LOSS OF FORM WILL GET ETH THE SACK!" Antony is very young and is learning while Rashford is an experienced veteran in his 7th season at United on astronomical wages! When will he score 20 goals consistently for 2 seasons at least? Prejudice and bias against foreign players is annoyng by some media outlets !
Great analysis… please go on and analyse the bad decisions of rashford when on the left and bruno(anywhere on the pitch)…. I am going against the grain here but I think rashford on the right and Bruno really cost us many points and both have an x-factor but otherwise mostly they just don’t create enough… rashford can’t pass and Bruno keeps losing the ball
The scary part is he played under Ten Hag for so many years and Ten Hag still got it wrong. Now, almost all the players we sign are based on Ten Hag's suggestions with zero input from our scouts!
100% agree Antony needs to be tested on the LW but problem his he’s never gonna take Rashfords position. Such a left footed RW doesn’t work imo, will never get a quick cross in when he’s got to switch position to his left
What an irony, we went a full circle from getting onto cloud nine when he got signed to having a constant bad taste in our mouths from his play within one year. The most terrible thing is that while a bad technique could be fixed with hard work in the training, low football IQ does not come like that. It saddens me that he fell victim to his habits on the pitch that just do not do the trick and is unlikely to break this vicious cycle.
Amad should get a chance once he's fit and ready to play, time on the bench will do wonders for Antony who is at the moment not firing at all cylinders while being one dimensional. He doesn't have a right foot, he doesn't take on and always cuts in from the flanks being too predictable.
Rashford ran as a decoy but Anthony doesn't just understand the game yet because that pass should have to Garnacho, But he optioned to pass to Rashford instead who's running into a tight angle, Eric ten hag has some decisions to make otherwise he will go down the same route the other managers before him went, I hope he doesn't but if things continues the way they're then am afraid it might come to that.
Rashford’s bad decisions are nowhere near as bad as Antony. Also Rashford literally scored 30 goals last season. Why are you so desperate to defend Antony. This is Man Utd FC not Antony FC
In my view Manchester United management must do a through background check of each and every player before signing them. Because of their young age , their personal background check becomes a mandatory club hiring practice. We need this precautions because of certain past involvements of players which has an negative impact in the team. Its better to be safe as much as possible. Club medical department should be involved whenever necessary to assist in the hiring process beside their normal medical checkup practice. If not done now a psychological test of all players should be made from time to time to ensure their mental fitness as well.
That's not going to do anything, Background checks don't predict the future. You could have done a background check on both Greenwood and Antony and they would have passed
Tbh none of these players seem to be coached properly or they just don’t learn they keep making the same mistakes idk what United do in training but it’s not fixing players individual problems
Antony is used as a scape goat. We just need a striker in the team who can tap in or head in to score. When you have a deadly complete striker then you set. Man city having haaland solves it all.
Rashford and Shaw have been at the club years and are bang average. I'm willing to give Antony time given the fact the two I named are far worse players and have way too much power.
Being an analyst of football, you should know how quick the game moves, especially in the premier league. I admit Antony needs to improve in all areas don't get me wrong, but you can't just single him out. Our entire midfield has been atrocious, thus far including arguably our best player in Bruno. Things will click eventually, these players are still adapting to the 3-1-6 system and I can understand Antony's indecisiveness because players keep doubling up on him.
In as much as Antony has being highlighted here, it's a scape goat kind of thing. In the past we had good passes coming from our captain Bruno to the strikers and we scored but not any more, gernacho was also good but these two games we've not had the best of him. Rashford had done good chances against Tottenham do did Bruno but failed to convert. Let's wait for rasmus to come in and we will see
I'm just in tears that Amad is injured right now. Osman Dembele went to Saudi Arabia on free transfer and we are here struggling with no striker. He's only 27
Antony should be benched for atleast 5games straight his so full of himself but generally the whole team doesn't seem to know what to do with the ball. Rushy, cant control/hold the ball except Onana and Sancho
This team have no creativity, All the attackers are selfish either they shoot from 30 yards or make bad decision. Bruno hitting random long balls and hoping someone will be at the other end to receive. It’s sad to say after a year at the club ETH have no style of play and keep playing at the wrong position
It crazy because Rashford is guilty of everything he is going to Antony for it also makes it worse when he starts off the video only talking about the wingers being poor. most of the team and the manager have been in poor form to start the season.
The amount of times AWB makes a good underlapping/overlapping run that could spark something jus 4 Antony 2 cut inside n we have 0 momentum is abysmal. I've lost patience wit him already, nothing like his Ajax days n we cannot wait forever, what he needs is bench time but this so called "ruthless" manager of ours won't even consider it unless Antony gets the first 60-70 minutes
In all of these positions I see Antony making these wrong decisions, I think Sancho, Pellistri & Diallo would’ve made better decisions. He needs to give someone else an extended run on that right flank like he has given Antony. Besides the fact he makes poor decisions, I think Eric has made him a lil too comfortable.
And the funny thing is that even with his poor play, when he gets substituted he goes off in a huff! He doesn't appreciate the chance ETH is taking on him, neither does he get that as fans we wonder why he keeps getting minutes. He works hard but he's just not good enough for united.
We know his shortcomings , deeper issue is who scouted , recruited and bought him at such a premium and why. Answers to these questions would help us set things right for the long term rather than focusing on symptoms of the problem like Antony etc !
That midfield trio, all of em casermiro, mount, Bruno are very wasteful on the ball and constantly give the ball away cheaply or unnecessarily. There's no ball retention.
@@AtlantisFootball He makes a lot of bad passes but without his good ones this team would be hopeless. I think Bruno forces the play sometimes but that is necessary considering how lifeless United can be at times.
He’s literally been performing like this for over 8 months. Stop referring to everything as hate. We aren’t waiting 3 years for a player to reach average level
Antony current performance is no where near man utd level. He seems scared to attack the goal even when he has a lot of space. I don’t think he can even get 10 goals+assists a season. He is more aggressive when defending but too shy in attack, I would rather use him as a left back.
Mo Salah right now is the potential that we all want him to achieve but comparing them both at Antony's age. Salah was definitely not the most creative or clinical back then and it wasn't really until he turned 25 or 26 that he was regarded as a great winger. So for antony there is time but sometimes the time is better spent elsewhere as it may be too big a jump too soon like salah to chelsea
Salah was miles ahead of Antony at his age. There’s no time for Antony, he’s not even at average PL level atm, just look at someone like Solly March. United can’t afford to babysit him this year, he’s already had a season
@AtlantisFootball Mo salah was not considered even a decent winger until he had a great spell at roma. In fact he was classed as a flop at chelsea. I agree with the Molly coddling that's why I suggested it was too big a step too soon.
Yes he was. He was highly rated at Basel in the CL. KDB also flopped at Chelsea. Mo Salah was far better than Antony was its not even close. Go rewatch highlights@@aphextwin1991
@AtlantisFootball he was a "decent" winger at the time. I don't need to watch the highlights. I'm old enough to remember watching the games. He scored a couple of goals. So did douglas costa at the time. How's he getting on? You are talking like he was some sort of maestro like he is today its unjust to antony when he had a better 2 first champions league seasons than salah.. you should be fair and compare him to other kids around his age like vini Jr, leao, raphinha or even gonçalves. KDB and salah are late bloomers hitting their peaks after 24 just like nani was for us. No need to make the kid a scapegoat their is a player in there clearly if he can get into the positions and decision making can be coached. There are plenty of more senior players who have played just as bad the start of this season.
He’s not a scapegoat. He’s been terrible. All the players you’ve mentioned were and are far ahead of Antony at this point. He isn’t a teenager. Salah was much better than him at his age. That’s pretty obvious if you watch Antony play for United
ETH needs to be questioned, Antony and Mount 150m not well spent, for Antony to succeed we need an outstanding full-back who can overlap which we don't have.
Anthony was one of the best player to watch in Ajax but there something not right cause he is not the same in Man Utd. He is a good player without a doubt but im not sure why he is not performing the same way as he was in Ajax and Brazil.
He's paid more now 😂. Treated like a celebrity in one of the biggest club in the world, what's there to play for????. In Brazil Raphinha was often picked over him. The boy is just having fun making money, most of them are. Harry Maguire chose man utd bench over game time at west ham😂 These boys have zero honor or heart.
@@mohammadsawlih3869 He is 19 and as long as his confidence remains good he will at least develop stamina from this, its possible other necessary skills might as well.
The fact that he keeps on playing the same erratic way over and over is a worry and that Ten Hag isn't doing anything it seems to make him change his ways especially poor decision making.
yet ETH is even afraid to bench this useless. the things we do to Mason G will haunt us for so long. I Don't even know why we couldn't give him a second chance specially after he took his time to fix his problem with his girl. Every one be in place of the boy, after all everyone deserve a second chance.
Antony is not effectivegetting the ball to the box dribbling is no good i think brendon johnson the rite winger of nitt forest is a more serious player and very creative
Antony is the worst winger united has ever had. Cant pass, hes shooting is a 20 stat, and dribbling is cosmetic. Pathetic that he got the chance in a big club like this.
Cant believe, Antony is ten hags talis man,he made the club bend over backwards for this,even anderson could go past players,but this fuy cant even get oast malacia,and malacia is a vench warmer
No one wants to hear this,but if Antony can’t figure it out the right side,then he needs to go and we play pelestri and Ahmad once there back. can’t keep deluding myself into believing these guys are going to ever get it together
He hasnt gotten any better since he joined, and I was shocked after the Spurs game he was still in the team. He was poor again, and I'll go as far as to say that he is garbage. I have said so many times that he slows everything down. He is a one trick Pony. I'd have put him on the left ages ago, but the Manager has some weird blinkers on and wont change him or drop him. He is terrible and I am hate being in the team. He has to be sold in Jan or the summer unless he changes straight away.
The scary part is, I don't see what the potential upside of Antony is. His best trick is a really slow and inaccurate imitation of Robben and you can't play him on the left because half the squad already plays there XD
he can kind of play CAM but worse than Sancho, Mount, and Fernandes.

McTominay's ability to carry from deep as well can be useful depending on the situation. Not sure why we haven't done this yet.
You're so right about Anthony but the next thing is what is the manager doing about it we as fans can see the problem but the manager won't tell him what to do i personally don't rate ten hag
I rate him a five hag
The team will be balanced with hojlund as a number 9 and rashford gets back to the LW in this case even Onana will have variety of choices to pass either play from the back or use the wingers and straight to number 9……We are still hopefull for improvement
I’ve been saying this 😭he is overhyped …Damn I’m really gonna miss GREENWOOD 😭
HOW ABOUT DOING A VIDEO TITLED"HOW RASHFORD'S BAD DECISIONS AND LOSS OF FORM WILL GET ETH THE SACK!"
Antony is very young and is learning while Rashford is an experienced veteran in his 7th season at United on astronomical wages!
When will he score 20 goals consistently for 2 seasons at least?
Prejudice and bias against foreign players is annoyng by some media outlets !
Great analysis… please go on and analyse the bad decisions of rashford when on the left and bruno(anywhere on the pitch)…. I am going against the grain here but I think rashford on the right and Bruno really cost us many points and both have an x-factor but otherwise mostly they just don’t create enough… rashford can’t pass and Bruno keeps losing the ball
For every Vincius, there are 10 favela boys like Antony and Richarlison!
so this is what i actually mean when i said we didnt seem sharp at all. thank you for adress this!
No utd player in his possession should be so obsessed with scoring goals, linking up and assisting should be his priority.
The scary part is he played under Ten Hag for so many years and Ten Hag still got it wrong. Now, almost all the players we sign are based on Ten Hag's suggestions with zero input from our scouts!
Bad players bad decisions lost ronaldo . Ten hag must b fired
100% agree Antony needs to be tested on the LW but problem his he’s never gonna take Rashfords position. Such a left footed RW doesn’t work imo, will never get a quick cross in when he’s got to switch position to his left
What an irony, we went a full circle from getting onto cloud nine when he got signed to having a constant bad taste in our mouths from his play within one year. The most terrible thing is that while a bad technique could be fixed with hard work in the training, low football IQ does not come like that. It saddens me that he fell victim to his habits on the pitch that just do not do the trick and is unlikely to break this vicious cycle.
Reasons to all your questions: Anthony plays with one leg
Amad should get a chance once he's fit and ready to play, time on the bench will do wonders for Antony who is at the moment not firing at all cylinders while being one dimensional. He doesn't have a right foot, he doesn't take on and always cuts in from the flanks being too predictable.
Rashford ran as a decoy but Anthony doesn't just understand the game yet because that pass should have to Garnacho, But he optioned to pass to Rashford instead who's running into a tight angle, Eric ten hag has some decisions to make otherwise he will go down the same route the other managers before him went, I hope he doesn't but if things continues the way they're then am afraid it might come to that.
whens the video about rashford's bad decisions?
Rashford’s bad decisions are nowhere near as bad as Antony. Also Rashford literally scored 30 goals last season. Why are you so desperate to defend Antony. This is Man Utd FC not Antony FC
In my view Manchester United management must do a through background check of each and every player before signing them.
Because of their young age , their personal background check becomes a mandatory club hiring practice. We need this precautions because of certain past involvements of players which has an negative impact in the team. Its better to be safe as much as possible. Club medical department should be involved whenever necessary to assist in the hiring process beside their normal medical checkup practice. If not done now a psychological test of all players should be made from time to time to ensure their mental fitness as well.
That's not going to do anything, Background checks don't predict the future. You could have done a background check on both Greenwood and Antony and they would have passed
And also Garnacho's poor decision making process. Currently he is better suited coming on as a sub. When he start there is no production at all
Tbh none of these players seem to be coached properly or they just don’t learn they keep making the same mistakes idk what United do in training but it’s not fixing players individual problems
Antony is used as a scape goat. We just need a striker in the team who can tap in or head in to score. When you have a deadly complete striker then you set. Man city having haaland solves it all.
Who's going to give a good cross for the tap in, antony?? 😂
He'll be too busy trying to make UA-cam videos than set up a chance for a tap in
amad as soon as he is fit put him on rw and bench antony bring him on when we trying to hold on to a lead he works hard ill give him that
Rashford and Shaw have been at the club years and are bang average. I'm willing to give Antony time given the fact the two I named are far worse players and have way too much power.
Stick to the day job.
Don't think about going into
football management!
This time next year we'll be trying to
offload Antony in a clearance sale.
@@stuartwelford7562 haha you haven't a notion 🤡.
Being an analyst of football, you should know how quick the game moves, especially in the premier league. I admit Antony needs to improve in all areas don't get me wrong, but you can't just single him out. Our entire midfield has been atrocious, thus far including arguably our best player in Bruno. Things will click eventually, these players are still adapting to the 3-1-6 system and I can understand Antony's indecisiveness because players keep doubling up on him.
In as much as Antony has being highlighted here, it's a scape goat kind of thing. In the past we had good passes coming from our captain Bruno to the strikers and we scored but not any more, gernacho was also good but these two games we've not had the best of him. Rashford had done good chances against Tottenham do did Bruno but failed to convert. Let's wait for rasmus to come in and we will see
It’s not a scapegoat. He is performing far worse than everyone else has and this is not a this season thing it stems from last season as well
Comparing Saka of Arsenal to Antony, no wonder Arsenal is better in attacking from the right.
Bro I’ve been saying this. Put Antony ton the left and make him play it early unless he gets a 1v1. He’s slowing the attack down.
I'm just in tears that Amad is injured right now. Osman Dembele went to Saudi Arabia on free transfer and we are here struggling with no striker. He's only 27
Dembele is playing at psg right now
@@AhayagHah the other one playing for Lyon last season
Antony should be benched for atleast 5games straight his so full of himself but generally the whole team doesn't seem to know what to do with the ball. Rushy, cant control/hold the ball except Onana and Sancho
Can we talk about Garnacho’s bad decision, they near enough bring down the moral of the team.
Problem with the kid is he thinks he's Cr7. Not joking
Next game we need top drop Anthony put Bruno wide and Scott in the pivot role
I’ve never hating a signing more than Antony
Hated**
This team have no creativity, All the attackers are selfish either they shoot from 30 yards or make bad decision. Bruno hitting random long balls and hoping someone will be at the other end to receive. It’s sad to say after a year at the club ETH have no style of play and keep playing at the wrong position
Man city wingers fucking mastered those moves
How about rashford zero work rate and lack of creativity and he's selfish too
It crazy because Rashford is guilty of everything he is going to Antony for it also makes it worse when he starts off the video only talking about the wingers being poor. most of the team and the manager have been in poor form to start the season.
@@jasonc1448the manager has been in poor form 😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣
The amount of times AWB makes a good underlapping/overlapping run that could spark something jus 4 Antony 2 cut inside n we have 0 momentum is abysmal. I've lost patience wit him already, nothing like his Ajax days n we cannot wait forever, what he needs is bench time but this so called "ruthless" manager of ours won't even consider it unless Antony gets the first 60-70 minutes
In all of these positions I see Antony making these wrong decisions, I think Sancho, Pellistri & Diallo would’ve made better decisions. He needs to give someone else an extended run on that right flank like he has given Antony. Besides the fact he makes poor decisions, I think Eric has made him a lil too comfortable.
And the funny thing is that even with his poor play, when he gets substituted he goes off in a huff! He doesn't appreciate the chance ETH is taking on him, neither does he get that as fans we wonder why he keeps getting minutes. He works hard but he's just not good enough for united.
We know his shortcomings , deeper issue is who scouted , recruited and bought him at such a premium and why. Answers to these questions would help us set things right for the long term rather than focusing on symptoms of the problem like Antony etc !
Who else but ETH ?
Erik ten hag, and he bought him because of Ajax connection. Called favoritism
What about Bruno's bad decisions and him always giving the ball away?
That midfield trio, all of em casermiro, mount, Bruno are very wasteful on the ball and constantly give the ball away cheaply or unnecessarily. There's no ball retention.
Bruno is United’s only creative sparked. His decision making is levels above Antony
@@AtlantisFootball He makes a lot of bad passes but without his good ones this team would be hopeless. I think Bruno forces the play sometimes but that is necessary considering how lifeless United can be at times.
Do united have the players to make a 442 diamond system work
I want a video on why scotty could be a solution in our midfield even if it’s temporary
Give pellistri a go starting on the rw
Put anyone on the RW at this point
Someone please show this video to Erik Ten Hag. Very accurate.
Antony is becoming predictable every defender pretty much knows what he's gonna do. And he needs to learn to use his right leg
pellistri will provide different option
Too much hate😭, he'll improve
He’s literally been performing like this for over 8 months. Stop referring to everything as hate. We aren’t waiting 3 years for a player to reach average level
We need to try playing sancho/garnacho on the right, Antony contributes nothing offensively
Antony current performance is no where near man utd level. He seems scared to attack the goal even when he has a lot of space. I don’t think he can even get 10 goals+assists a season. He is more aggressive when defending but too shy in attack, I would rather use him as a left back.
This video comes across as far too static without real time footage to actually break / slow down. Need to sort that to get more views.
Can’t play the footage due to copyright
@@AtlantisFootball - I hear you. A real shame as excellent analysis. Good luck, kiddo! : )
you're no winger if you can't beat your fullback
I promise y'all I watched this dude at Ajax. He wasn't this bad
Spot on bro
Thanks man
What happened to garnacho he was a perfect Winger taking on full backs and putting in a cross but now he caught Antony cut inside virus
The reason is he’s better as a sub when defenders are tired.
Did Antony have any pace when at Ajax. Cos he has nonpace at man u.
Mo Salah right now is the potential that we all want him to achieve but comparing them both at Antony's age. Salah was definitely not the most creative or clinical back then and it wasn't really until he turned 25 or 26 that he was regarded as a great winger. So for antony there is time but sometimes the time is better spent elsewhere as it may be too big a jump too soon like salah to chelsea
Salah was miles ahead of Antony at his age. There’s no time for Antony, he’s not even at average PL level atm, just look at someone like Solly March. United can’t afford to babysit him this year, he’s already had a season
@AtlantisFootball Mo salah was not considered even a decent winger until he had a great spell at roma. In fact he was classed as a flop at chelsea. I agree with the Molly coddling that's why I suggested it was too big a step too soon.
Yes he was. He was highly rated at Basel in the CL. KDB also flopped at Chelsea. Mo Salah was far better than Antony was its not even close. Go rewatch highlights@@aphextwin1991
@AtlantisFootball he was a "decent" winger at the time. I don't need to watch the highlights. I'm old enough to remember watching the games. He scored a couple of goals. So did douglas costa at the time. How's he getting on? You are talking like he was some sort of maestro like he is today its unjust to antony when he had a better 2 first champions league seasons than salah.. you should be fair and compare him to other kids around his age like vini Jr, leao, raphinha or even gonçalves. KDB and salah are late bloomers hitting their peaks after 24 just like nani was for us. No need to make the kid a scapegoat their is a player in there clearly if he can get into the positions and decision making can be coached. There are plenty of more senior players who have played just as bad the start of this season.
He’s not a scapegoat. He’s been terrible. All the players you’ve mentioned were and are far ahead of Antony at this point. He isn’t a teenager. Salah was much better than him at his age. That’s pretty obvious if you watch Antony play for United
a perfect demonstration of his poor decision making is that goatee lmao
This man is killing us slowly.
He doesn’t use space well
ETH needs to be questioned, Antony and Mount 150m not well spent, for Antony to succeed we need an outstanding full-back who can overlap which we don't have.
Anthony was one of the best player to watch in Ajax but there something not right cause he is not the same in Man Utd. He is a good player without a doubt but im not sure why he is not performing the same way as he was in Ajax and Brazil.
He's paid more now 😂. Treated like a celebrity in one of the biggest club in the world, what's there to play for????. In Brazil Raphinha was often picked over him. The boy is just having fun making money, most of them are. Harry Maguire chose man utd bench over game time at west ham😂
These boys have zero honor or heart.
His click with Mazraoui made him one of the best. Without Mazraoui he's worth 1/3 of the price Man U payed.
@@degeus6917 The price was not his fault Utd over paid.
Anthony is poor in 1v1 and cutting in also situation,he needs to work harder
Garnacho seriously needs to be benched
His decision making is beyond awful.
@@mohammadsawlih3869 He is 19 and as long as his confidence remains good he will at least develop stamina from this, its possible other necessary skills might as well.
Still young, can be benched easily
@@phightinphil25 and he needs to upgrade his physicality
Even Asnawi looks much better than man united defenses
The fact that he keeps on playing the same erratic way over and over is a worry and that Ten Hag isn't doing anything it seems to make him change his ways especially poor decision making.
yet ETH is even afraid to bench this useless. the things we do to Mason G will haunt us for so long. I Don't even know why we couldn't give him a second chance specially after he took his time to fix his problem with his girl. Every one be in place of the boy, after all everyone deserve a second chance.
Totally agree. At this stage we need a RW with brains and 2 feet.
Someone needs to get Antony off that forward line.
I guess ETH likes Anthony so much that he paid such a record price for him because he really ‘pleased’ him off the pitch. Lol
WTF? 😂😂😂😂😂
Antony is not effectivegetting the ball to the box dribbling is no good i think brendon johnson the rite winger of nitt forest is a more serious player and very creative
At last someone is talking about antony's shitty decisions😭😭
I even thought it's the coach asking him to dribble and stay with the ball. That's for Messi.
Antony is the worst winger united has ever had. Cant pass, hes shooting is a 20 stat, and dribbling is cosmetic. Pathetic that he got the chance in a big club like this.
Antony 82m Sancho 73m smh🤦♀️
I swear every shot a Man U player takes goes over or around the net. Never in it lol
Arguably the worst buy ever made by united. Up there with bebe and maguire
Onana will do better in those situations
Antony is just sad to watch
100 million. His lack of football intelligence was apparent from the very first game.
Amad and Pellistri are both smarter footballers.
Cant believe, Antony is ten hags talis man,he made the club bend over backwards for this,even anderson could go past players,but this fuy cant even get oast malacia,and malacia is a vench warmer
i prefer pellistri over antony.. pellistri's penetration is something else
Ten Hag needs to end his ex ajax player's favouritism and play Amad Diallo or Pellistri who I believe are better than Anthony at the moment
No one wants to hear this,but if Antony can’t figure it out the right side,then he needs to go and we play pelestri and Ahmad once there back. can’t keep deluding myself into believing these guys are going to ever get it together
Our boys are really not working hard at all
Honestly, Antony plays exactly like Daniel James.
He hasnt gotten any better since he joined, and I was shocked after the Spurs game he was still in the team. He was poor again, and I'll go as far as to say that he is garbage. I have said so many times that he slows everything down. He is a one trick Pony. I'd have put him on the left ages ago, but the Manager has some weird blinkers on and wont change him or drop him. He is terrible and I am hate being in the team. He has to be sold in Jan or the summer unless he changes straight away.
Waiting for Amad. He is more versatile than Antony ❤
and yet some say he's working hard tracking. oh! we bought 100mm just for him to track back? might as well put another defender there. hahahahaha
We are about to sell Emeran
Ten Hag bought him 100 mil in the first place....so its ten Hags fault not another's...
