Thats Nobel Prize incoming for him.Got an assist in his first appearance

Yep, all it needs is 5 pub players in a tactically inept German setup and he'll be whelming in no time.I think he'll get 5 goals and 5 assists.
I could do that.Can Antony do this?
Not get marked? Probably not.Can Antony do this?
That's because we sign players like Antony, Mount and Sancho that are very badly scouted and bad fits for us. Players like Bruno and Casemiro that are actually good fit in fine. Why do so many youngsters come into our team and look fine when the 70m ones dont? It's not solely team issue any more given that ETH is trying to be proactive in our style (with varying degrees of success). There's only so much you can do with players like Sancho and Antony that have the acceleration speed of a snail, or someone like Mount who never showed anything at Chelsea aside from like 5 corner assists and 5 late run into the box goals.I dont buy that. Players consistently come to us and go from very talented to utter shite.
Bridge too far for Antony.Defending well that wasn't it.. Send Antony over there and see him tear it up.
Quoting yourself to show that your prediction is already wrong is an interesting tactic.
Goal or assist in another post.He didn’t score?
I posted again either G or A. Either way the point standsQuoting yourself to show that your prediction is already wrong is an interesting tactic.
Yes, obviously.Can Antony do this?
Absolute horseshit. He’s had literally dozens of opportunities to impress for us. And he’s been more or less constantly underwhelming for his entire United career. And that final sentence. Ooh boy…Assist off the bat after 7 minutes on the pitch.
He'll go to Dortmund and be quality.
Everything about his time here was handled wrong, partly himself but Ole did that slow integration thing which never works with players and then he's had to sit and watch Martial, Antony etc start and be absolutely awful.
Simply too technically good a player for the Hollywood passing, punt it style we've had for a long time
Yep. I think this is pretty much spot on.Yeah I think it’s a team issue more than a league issue. Haaland does the same thing in the PL as he did in Bundesliga, if not better. Same with Bellingham, who is better in La Liga. Because they play in high functioning teams that suit them. Sancho hasn’t had that here. If he’d gone back to City I’m sure he’d be doing well, getting plenty of space in the half spaces and lots of runners. Or even somewhere like Brighton, he’d be doing well.
No Darmstadt literally has the worst defense in all of the top 5 leagues. In terms of budget Luton Town is Manchester City compared to us. In our 126 years of existence, we have spent about €20M on transfer fees. Oh that´s not this year. That is in 126 years. We have spent more than a million in transfer fee for a single player four times and the sad part is that they have all been total garbage. We are like the old guy from Asterix&Obelix without the magic potion and the hot chick.And this is why he was able to stat pad in the first place. Look at the goal, a high line, 3 man defence, no one around him and a non existent midfield.
Is it a tactical choice, or a lack of tactics? Matches in the Championship have a more coherent defence than that.
His style works well like you say if given lots of time but unlike Salah when he’s pressured he doesn’t want it.He's back in Germany where he'll get loads of space and he'll look good again. Pity he wasn't interested in working hard enough to make an impact in the PL.
German football just isn't as high a level as the Premier League. It's a good league, and well run, and I love it - but -Bournemouth- spunked £90million on transfers in the summer net spend. I think Dortmunds net spend is something like negative £150m over the last few seasons.I watched the 2nd half and he looked very good. Maybe ETH is the problem, maybe he's the villain in that awkward feud against the english player and not Sancho.
If Sancho does well at BVB I'd consider to give him another chance next season (but of course Ten Hag must leave)
Well he's young so I think he could raise his game if he put the work in. We saw flashes of what we can do. If he'd put his head down and worked his balls off things could be very different, but yeah, as you say, that mentality seems to be lacking.His style works well like you say if given lots of time but unlike Salah when he’s pressured he doesn’t want it.
Mentality, physicality and quick thinking isn’t there. Give him an extra second man looks like a genius. He’s not though.
Yeah…. I’ll give that a hard “no” thanks. Every single part of it.I watched the 2nd half and he looked very good. Maybe ETH is the problem, maybe he's the villain in that awkward feud against the english player and not Sancho.

So what if he looked good in the second half today? He looked good at Dortmund plenty of times, that's why we signed him in the first place.I watched the 2nd half and he looked very good. Maybe ETH is the problem, maybe he's the villain in that awkward feud against the english player and not Sancho.
