You guys are hillarious. PSG got big names up front because it's good from a commercial standpoint. They did so regardless of any team balance logic or analysis. They have yet to "indentify our weakness" in the midfield. It's been 10 years and counting (Verratti/Motta being the last indisputed starters bought by the club, in 2012). Then you have roughly 350M worth of mistakes or absolute garbage.Once Sheikh Jassim comes in we will absolutely be signing another RW if neither Antony nor Sancho step up soon. The Qataris aren’t paying 6bn to watch losers, they’ll quickly identify weaknesses in the team and find and fund replacements whether ETH likes it or not. Just look at PSG, messi, neymar and Mbappe, no messing around.
Yeah and it worked a treat for them, right?Once Sheikh Jassim comes in we will absolutely be signing another RW if neither Antony nor Sancho step up soon.

These new wave non legacy fans are thick as planks aren't they?Yeah and it worked a treat for them, right?
I see very little in him that's promisingSomething tells me he is still suprised by the pace of the league. 2, 3 Players are on you in minutes and there's no time to waffle about. Even Varane and Casemero confess that the pace is mental. Garnacho seems to understand best how the league works of all our wingers.
He also played 23 games because of injuries. Still not a good stat.Just found out he created less chances (37) than Alexander Büttner (41) last season. Büttner left his club on free transfer and dropped down a tier.
That is an absolute nightmare scenario that you’re describing.Once Sheikh Jassim comes in we will absolutely be signing another RW if neither Antony nor Sancho step up soon.

He just doesn't have anywhere near enough talent. Works hard and all that shit but actually having top level ability and talent matters - especially if you're occupying an attacking position.Something tells me he is still suprised by the pace of the league. 2, 3 Players are on you in minutes and there's no time to waffle about.

Yes but 350m aside.... no messing around.You guys are hillarious. PSG got big names up front because it's good from a commercial standpoint.

Opposite flanks mate. Are you talking about Dalot, since it was him and Antony on the right, and yes Antony really didnt help Dalot at all.Shaw was having a stinker, being targeted and this twat stood there and watched. No help whatsoever.
It takes a special kinda person to insult your own player like that, as disappointing as he was. Never mind completely confusing where he was actually playingShaw was having a stinker, being targeted and this twat stood there and watched. No help whatsoever.

One atrocious defeat and people do not know the difference between criticizing and insulting

I think he's quick but he doesnt run at defenders remotely enough. He keeps checking back.Surprised at how slow he seems to be, especially for the PL. Its like he's running through sand.
I just dont know. We've had numerous counters going down his side this season and it always seems like he's comfortably caught-up by the opposition.I think he's quick but he doesnt run at defenders remotely enough. He keeps checking back.
Both of those can go past playersAntony could go one of 2 ways, he could either turn out to be a Douglas Costa or an Angel Di Maria, hopefully the latter.
A week ago Gakpo was seen as a mistake and had done nothing, let’s not rewrite history based off one game.Gakpo is miles better so far
Antony is all fur coat and no knickers
The left wing isn't some sort of dumpyard for failed right wingers....Anyone think it’d be worth trying him not out in the left. He’s so predictable cutting back to use his left foot constantly. Maybe he’d be better using that foot to cross with. Sancho can play right and use both feet as can Pellistri when he eventually gets his chance. Would also allow Rashford to play centrally rather than using Weghorst every game. Antony doesn’t produce enough with his shooting to warrant him being a starter and employing his same tactic every game. If he wants to start shooting then make him learn how to do it with his right foot too.
There is no history - only whats in front of us currently - and Antony isnt that goodA week ago Gakpo was seen as a mistake and had done nothing, let’s not rewrite history based off one game.
Antony can too but he lacks the belief and confidence, Nani had phases of this too but when he got it right like in 10/11 he was a top 5 winger in the world.Both of those can go past players
Unless he has the basic technique to start going on the outside and using his right foot then he wont make it in the premier league. You cant be that predictable while lacking say the speed and power of Rashford.Antony can too but he lacks the belief and confidence, Nani had phases of this too but when he got it right like in 10/11 he was a top 5 winger in the world.
One thing we lack is patience, Antony will need it, but given time I think he'll develop into a good winger, maybe not a £80m winger but he could be united quality, he's just not got the complete package at the moment.
Ten Hag knew with Antony that we weren't getting the finished article, but with good coaching he could become a top winger.
This is correct. The talent discrepancy between someone like him and Di Maria is fecking collosal.I still laugh when people compare him to Robben, Di Maria or Bernardo Silva. These are flattering comparisons to make him look better than he really is.
The players he really should be compared to are Lamela and Malcom. They aren't terrible players and neither is Antony but they are pretty much £25-30m players that belong at mid level european clubs, we just happened to pay £84m for one.
Did he ever use his right foot for crossing the ball at Ajax?Unless he has the basic technique to start going on the outside and using his right foot then he wont make it in the premier league. You cant be that predictable while lacking say the speed and power of Rashford.
Not sure , I think he looks slow. The few times he has tried to go past someone he seemed to get comfortable outpaced by the fullback he is facing.I think he's quick but he doesnt run at defenders remotely enough. He keeps checking back.
There's plenty of one footed players, its an issue for him, but the bigger issue is that he doesn't go on the outside.Unless he has the basic technique to start going on the outside and using his right foot then he wont make it in the premier league.

Compare a 22 year old Di Maria to a 22 year old Antony, there's not massive differences in their game, Di Maria was very one dimensional, used to blow hot and cold, gave the ball away a lot. Even a couple seasons into his Madrid move they still won't convinced of him and went and got Bale.This is correct. The talent discrepancy between someone like him and Di Maria is fecking collosal.
