He plays like the pro club reject in a sunday 5v5 with a bunch of dad bods. Cocky attitude while doing next to nothing but always having that petulant look on his face. Please get rid!

Manchester United have wingers/ wide forwards like Antony and Rashford. While even fecking Brighton have Mitoma and March.

I am sure Sancho is an undisciplined player but if Antony keeps getting chances with these performances, it is difficult to convince me Sancho does not deserve a chance.

That was one of the very worst performances of the past decade and we've seen a lot of it. No pace, no inventiveness, all he did all game was lose the ball, or pass it back. I'd take Antonio Valencia over him and he was a winger who eventually had to move to right back.

Even Gabriel Obertan looked like he knew what he was doing. Antony had no clue.

Vying with Sancho for the title of our worst ever big money signing.

Winning at the moment.

I think we could buy a random winger from the Colombian league and he would do just as good.

Horrible, horrible signing.

Red Card for Casemiro!
Offers no goal threat at all because he never takes his man on or makes any key progressive passes or runs. He's genuinely one of the most insipid 'attackers' in the league and, unlike Rashford, has never shown any ability to do better.

We need to cut losses here, and avoid making such signings in the future by trusting EtH's judgement on player ability.

How much do you think we could sell him for in January, if we did?

I would be shocked if anybody wanted him even for £30mil. And we bought him for over £82M! Even if we overpaid, nobody will buy him even fot half the price, just a year later! Let that sink in, for a second...

Should never take the field in a united shirt ever again, but he will start next game

I genuinely believe there are better wingers in the Championship.
Of course, Dan James is better for one and someone like Jack Clarke is infinitely better.

Antony also would never be able to replicate what Amad did last season there.

Antony at £80m is already on the lists with Alexis Sanchez to United etc as one of the worst value transfers, not simply in United's history but in football history.

Its been over a year and what has he shown? He cuts in and, once in a blue moon, puts it in the top corner. But lets not kid ourselves. He's no Arjen Robben. He's not even Malcom.

Antony should not be starting. He's been saved by Sancho blowing himself up at the club. Both should be out of Old Trafford come January.

Sancho didn't work out and the club should've been aware of his personality issues before signing him, but at least with him the talent and potential was clear for all to see, and it's understandable why he was signed.

With Antony though? How the feck could ETH coach him week in and out and still come to the conclusion that he's the standard required to play for United? How could the club see the scouting reports that called out all the massive red flags and still sanction a massive transfer fee and wage packet for him?

Baffling incompetence all around.

Nope. It rather sums up posters like you who instead of supporting the team are sharing stupid angle clips without context of your own players.

1. It isn’t a ridiculous dribble. It’s not like he’s doing the flip flap
2. It did touch the defender for a throw in. They showed it in a different angle. Guess you don’t remember while you were hating on your own player.

So yeah, try again.
I will gladly delete my tweet as I don't like posting misleading clips.

That being said, I think you confused the "player performances forum" with the "cheerleading forum" and your unconditionnal support seems pretty delusional.

I won't even get into today's performance as I've always hated victory laps in such situation. We have eyes, you probably do to, he was pure shite again.

A lot of people in here told me he was going to start crossing now that he is playing with a number 9.

When I have time later I will find the posts.
Please do, I was losing my mind reading that last season.

I read every excuse in the book last season on why the other players in the team prevented him from being our Robben or Di Maria :lol:. His thread from last season will be sure to bring up a few good laughs.

Remember when that fella who wasn't even a footballer conned Souness into thinking he was George Weah's cousin? Are we sure that's not happened again here

Happy to admit he was awful today. Nothing came off and was easily dispossessed.

But sharing 7 second clips to prove that this is what he’s like every time is a lie based on agenda and dislike which majority of the posters here do.

Most one-footed player I've seen since Valencia, only he doesn't have Valencia's pace, strength or crossing ability.

He should be playing on the left side if we're going to try to make him work.

He really is completely useless and offers absolutely nothing. May as well play with 10. At least he wouldn't be there to actively ruin moves.

Because ETH did not realize the difference beteween the PL and the Eredevise. ETH probably vetoed the deal. He is utter clueless. Donny didn't work out and that should have stopped the deal.

I took your comment into account and deleted the post, as i've said, I'm here to analyse performances fairly and if the video was misleading, it has no place here.

He was woeful but in our current predicament, so is every other attacker. I hope one day we can be a little better at playing football and we'll be able to see our players at full capacity. I'm sure they're capable of more.

Garnacho looked much better today.

Dan James is one of the worst wingers I've ever seen play for United and he's twice the player Antony is.

There is no way he can have any confidence left from his Ajax days. So now we are left with an empty shell. Next to no ability to beat a marker or cross the ball. Grim!

Can't see how this turns around for him. His only lifeline is EtH.

Stuck with him for years as there's no way in hell that any club is dumb enough to take him for any amount. He's absolutely terrible at everything.

I think due to the fee he’s the worst transfer in football history so far. It’s literally like playing with ten (Hag) men every game.

I think he just massively underestimated the standard of the PL compared to the the Eredvisie.

Regardless of whether Ten Hag stays, there needs to be a total overhaul in the footballing structure of the club. The likes of Murtough and Arnold are just as much to blame imo, totally clueless.

The mind actually boggles with Antony. Surely there must be something there that is just not being shown. Like even the basics. Scouts must have known he doesn't tend to beat a man or that he is ridiculously one footed. There must be something were missing. Obviously the whole team is playing bad and it's hard to fault people individually but he is truly tragic. Maybe with a fluid competent team he might shine but if he's this bad when the chips are down it doesn't bode well. Definitely time for Ten Hag to be banned from having carte blanche on signings.
