I think there's already a thread for this in the performance section?
He was neither silly or flashy tonight, but pretty unremarkable performance nonetheless.Hoping to see him get some minutes tonight, wasn't impressed vs Ghana - Seems to eager to try something silly or pass back but did work hard, hoping he isn't feeling the need to justify anything
I care more about how he does for us but I am concerned but trust in ETHHe was neither silly or flashy tonight, but pretty unremarkable performance nonetheless.
It obviously is 2 different envrionnement, lets take Vinicius for exemple, he is performing really well with Real Madrid but is mostly disappointing with Brazil (so far, he yet has to find his place). That being said, those who though that Antony would take Raphinha's spot as a starter were clearly mistaken, he is behind 2 or 3 players as a right winger (which isn't a big deal, he's still young, he'll just have to make the most of the minutes he has and his energy could be very useful as a sub).I care more about how he does for us but I am concerned but trust in ETH
Why do you think that?Elanga will have the RW position back by Christmas.
I didn't watch the game but I'll tell you anyway, he was OK. Got the ball a few times, passed it, ran, shot.So much sarcacm here . Can someone who watched a game say how was he tonight?
Pretty anonymous, not bad, not good, nothing noticeable really, Brazil didn't really try hard in the 2nd half.So much sarcacm here . Can someone who watched a game say how was he tonight?
Because I don't rate AntonyWhy do you think that?
Agenda.Because I don't rate Antony
???.Agenda.
???.
Safe to say a guy who thinks the Antony goal against Arsenal was a tap in is either a fill-in-the-blank or a WUM.What impact has antony made at Utd apart from scoring a tap in?
Marseille doesn't want him. What about Wuhan Three Towns?Don't think he's gonna make it.
Loan to Marseille and sell him back to Ajax for 30 mil.
I'm just looking for attention
By Ajax fans you mean The European Lad? the guy who had a meltdown after literally creaming his pants for Antony's development at Ajax just 2 months prior. It's easy not to rate players once they left your club.Some Ajax fans didn’t rate him so hopefully won’t be such an expensive flop.
Get better bit by bit Antony.
And you rate Elanga?Because I don't rate Antony
He has the tools to be successful in the Premier League and he apparently has a really good attitude so I expect him to do good things.And you rate Elanga?
Sweet JesusHe has the tools to be successful in the Premier League and he apparently has a really good attitude so I expect him to do good things.
An Arsenal fan?????? ...Sweet Jesus
Elanga a better option than Antony. Go grab a coffee.He has the tools to be successful in the Premier League and he apparently has a really good attitude so I expect him to do good things.
Go and watch a Premier League gameElanga a better option than Antony. Go grab a coffee.
Yes. You really don’t know much about football it seems.Elanga will have the RW position back by Christmas.
I’ll leave this hereWhat impact has antony made at Utd apart from scoring a tap in?
To suggest ElangaGo and watch a Premier League game
Shouldn’t have bothered.I’ll leave this here
I know. It’s an awful post but someone with an agenda commenting in a performance thread should be identified quickly to prevent innocent posters being sucked in to their wummery.Shouldn’t have bothered.
Get off YouTube mate and actually watch a full game.To suggest Elanga
Maybe you should stop watching any football.
There are early signs, even with only 2 games, to read if a player is going to be a failure. Antony thus far has failed to do any of the below:We've had him for what, two games? He was wanted by our very competent manager who knows him very well..
This place is a sewer, honestly.
He has the tools to be successful in the Premier League and he apparently has a really good attitude so I expect him to do good things.
I’ve watched every United game for as many years I can think of pal. But you don’t half come out with some nonsense.Get off YouTube mate and actually watch a full game.
Have a look at Elanga against Liverpool not so long ago and judge his workrate and the torrid time he gave TAA.
Football is not about doing pirouettes when there is no pressure on the opponent
I'm desperate for him to work out but I think this take sums up my current feelings about him.I'll maintain that we shouldn't have went for him, because he's a link-up player, a runner, like Sancho. We needed someone that can receive the ball and make things happen with it...like Raphinha. The reason we bought him (probably) is that he's still a much better option than Elanga.
I like Antony, but he isn't worth more than 40-50m and I see him becoming a tactical option on the bench, nothing more, in a few seasons' time.
Also, the signing would've made sense if we didn't have Sancho. Rashford or another to-feet left winger with Antony on the other side would be great even long-term. However, I don't see Sancho and Antony working together.
Hoping I will be proven wrong but he isn't gonna produce insane numbers or anything. But he will be of good use to us for a few years at least.
