When he came the the club I thought he had pace and likes to beat a man? All he does is a side drag and backpass. Early days and still plenty of time to come good but we need more from his attacking.

He's had a half a season and already people are binning him off.
Sancho has been worse and hardly played, but people here are salivating that he will make a difference. Have patience. If he's still playing like this next year we can have a debate that he may be a dud.

Rubbish.
Antony was in the ditch when the handbags started, though. So, he didn't start any of that at all.
wing back because he tracks back ? He is absolutely doing fine. He isn't your typical Mahrez kind of winger but rather a player who is quite good on the ball and can keep the possession. I have no idea why people are expecting something that he isn't capable of.
There’s been a few but at the moment he’s up there with the best. He needs that part of his game knocking out of him and learn to play a more simple game. If he can do that we’ve got a decent player.
One assist in all competitions all season. That's abysmal.
Still willing to give him a bit more time but my word he needs to improve massively.
He who shall not be named is three times the player this guy is. We are into February and still no PL assist. That's just not acceptable for £84m. That wouldn't be acceptable for £30m.

He stiffles all output down the right hand side since he's so one dimensional. Yet again in the first half he got away down the right but nothing came of it because he has to check inside.
We are exhausting our team by not finishing games when we are on top. Having a forward line that consists of just Rashford who is in form is crazy.
Let's hope Sancho finds some form but we have no easy games now coming up.
(I'll cut Wout some slack cos he's just arrived and none of our players are actually trying to play him in.)

I don't like him much. He's crap and a wind up merchant
Improve or get out the team

I like him. He doesnt look like a flop, just someone who isnt a success yet.
So a player who got pushed down the slope started the all thing?
Redcafe has an irrational hatred for him. Our threat down the right was the best part of our first half performance. Blaming him for the red takes the cake though
Yeah, solid display I thought. Even had a shot with his right.
I don't blame him for reacting, the slope off the pitch at OT makes it dangerous to get shoved like that.
Weird player, exceptionally good at holding the ball, providing an outlet, maintaining pressure, but uncomfortable when in A1 winger positions with a chance to really attack a man. He is good, but the balance around him needs to bring the things he doesn't.
Reminds me a little of Alexsander Hleb in how hard he is to take the ball off.

I don't think you can pass him the ball on the break. Just ignore him and pick another ball
The price tag really gets to people's heads, plus the guy was slammed into the slopes, can't fault him for getting mad about that.
Yeah I noticed the ball rolling thing to slow down a counter and let the defender get ahead of him. I know Antony doesn't wanna use his right but I don't get why Antony doesn't cut across and still be on his left foot
Yeah he's great defensively for counter attacks on us. I think he is good for a counter attack when the ball is on the left and he's joining in rather than him being the ball carrier
Well, he needs to go somewhere.

The two bolded points are very concerning for a Manchester United player, though.
Harsh comments on him today. Thought he was fine?
Thought he was very good
He was.
Yes, I think the same. Its not just criticism, it's irrational hate. He got pushed by Schlupp and handbags started without him and yet he gets blamed for the red. Mental. Its pure hate at this point.Redcafe has an irrational hatred for him. Our threat down the right was the best part of our first half performance. Blaming him for the red takes the cake though
Incredible. A 30 year old man grabbing someones neck is the fault of the man being pushed down a slope into the ad boards.Redcafe has an irrational hatred for him. Our threat down the right was the best part of our first half performance. Blaming him for the red takes the cake though
One thing to add to this is his defensive work is actually very good including today, better than what you would expect from a player who likes to try a lot of tricks on the ball.
He was. The fact that there are genuinely people in here trying to blame him for the red card tells you everything you need to know.
Don't listen to some of the guys here, they have they comments at the ready whatever the game and however he plays. They even blame him for the red after he got pushed which was Really dangerous cause of that slope.
We need to define "doing fine" he's doing the bare minimum.... He's not exactly a huge goal threat and he's not creating much, he's just there.

No it's not. What you said and what I said are entirely different. You are expecting a Mahrez but he is more of a hybrid player aka Bernardo (not ability wise)
Absolutely terrible value for money.
Getting more tired of this guy. Why is his complete inability to use his right foot not being coached out?
As for the Case red... It wasn't Antony's fault for being pushed off the pitch, but he's responsible for reacting the way he did. Everyone knows Antony has a fragile ego and can be wound up now to create a fracas and throw the cat among the pigeons. It gave Palace a way back into the game.

I'm not sure what he does, exactly.
Was out performing Rashford who then got his goal and was comfortably better than Bruno despite his goal. Not a lot too moan about in that performance.
When he got pushed, he was just standing on the ball right? The bit of trickery was a few mins before that push if I remember correctly, this wasn't this moment?
Can we threadban some of he constant moaners about him? Makes this thread miserable and it's over the top. He was fine today.
Its weird. He was dangerous today, some lovely little passes, kept possession well (crossing stats skew this against attackers) and contributed well defensively. Was involved in most of our more intricate play. Was more direct at times too which is what i still want more of
Thought it was a very positive performance and and he definitely contributes to our ability to control games and maintain shape.
Let's say a prayer for all the fullbacks he comes up against. Antony has backpassed them to death this season.
Dreadful at dribbling, crossing, finishing and basically anything that directly involves attempts at goal.
He doesn't even look like a player struggling to come to terms with the league, this is just what he is. He won't suddenly be a dribbling machine in another top league or be an accurate crosser of the ball. Ten Hag fecked this one up big time but at least he got it right with Martinez.
If Sancho's sabbatical has done him any good he should displace this chancer in no time.

He is good in possession and has a good shot but has no acceleration and a poor final ball. He can still improve but I doubt he will ever justify the price tag or even be good enough if we want to win the PL title.
I think it means he didn't feck up, ie lose the ball. If someone actually tries stuff ie Rashford but loses the ball then its a bad performance.
I like his effort and his never say die attitude, he is good for progressing the ball from point A to B but then he isn't creating anything, no key passes, no key dribbles and and very mixed shots on goal. That's is not what was promised me. I was told he would be an at times unstoppable wide attacker. I think he turned out to be too expensive for now.
