Amazing, thank you for the laughs.Meme pic of Antony since I can't post pictures yet.
Lets shave his head and change his name to Roberto Cantony while we are at it.

He's an even worse crosser so I don't know why you still want him in attack. At least at CM his main job would be tackling people and retaining possession, the only two things he's decent atWe should try him at left wing first. I would like to see him whip in crosses from the byline.
He is not a good passer so I don't understand how some of you want him as a CM.
Some posters take shit way too seriously innit?I had this down in the “how can we get best value out of Antony (or similarly themed thread)”
Tbf, I did put in a disclaimer to say we should sell and this suggestion was only half-joking! Guys been a total waste.
too close to the action. should be left back on the bus.Left back in the changing room.
Snarf
Tell me about it! Sign of the times yeahSome posters take shit way too seriously innit?
Being a good midfielder requires a lot more than just these 2 skills though. I mean, awareness of the surroundings and vision for passing.. Etc. He can be all over the place if he's not built for this.He's an even worse crosser so I don't know why you still want him in attack.

adjustedtoo close to the action. should've been left, back on the bus-stop.
It won't be long before we can field an entire XI of current Man Utd players in their weird suggested positions that will somehow make them viable footballers. So far we have Lindelöf as DM, McTominay as striker, Antony as left back, and Mount as left wing.
A position about 150 miles north east?He might have a Joelinton moment and realise he has qualities best suited to another position...
There we go. That was the set up, finished with aplombA position about 150 miles north east?
We're like a modern version of one of history's greatest comedic duos. The new Laurel and Hardy, Morecambe and Wise, Maguire and Lindelof, etc.There we go. That was the set up, finished with aplomb
Really don't think it is. Possession regains and defensive tackles from right wing is massively different to playing at left back. He's in the bottom 10th percentile for aerial duels, for instance -- he'd get roasted and toasted at back post defending. He's never had to hold a defensive line, know when to step up etc.https://theanalyst.com/na/2024/02/antony-from-marquee-signing-to-fourth-choice/
One area where he can’t be faulted is his defensive work rate. The Opta Radar below shows how he ranks in the 99th percentile among forwards in the Premier League this season (min. 500 minutes played) for possession regains and in the 96th percentile for defensive actions. Considering United’s desire to press high, these are obviously important traits.
Doubt EtH would do it but we are in crisis that position. It's worth a shout.
His defensive attitude is already high, it's not like you asking him to do something he doesn't do naturally. Skills can be taught and developed, and he's young enough.Really don't think it is.

It sounds alright on paper, just won't work in practice.
We already have a young specialized LB, why would you even entertain this experiment ?His defensive attitude is already high, it's not like you asking him to do something he doesn't do naturally. Skills can be taught and developed, and he's young enough.
