That's true, and I do think we saw at lot of examples of poor positioning and reading of the game as a result - at least in Valencia's case after he was converted. But he made up for it with great pace and physicality. They were also both very good professionals and had lots of Premier League experience before they were switched.
Is there a way to get more out of Antony?

Actually, he is already in the club, unfortunately, he is our manager.
Also he doesn't necessarily even need to be used as a left back either, in this day and age where inverted full backs are used, we could try him as an inverted right back
Hemingway’s second saddest short story.
There are many methods to fixing constipation. But this guy seems really clogged up. So getting the best out might be a bit rich.
Joke of a player. Worst purchase ever I think considering cost and output. Not even a championship player. We are stuck with him unless a Saudi club offer £10m or something crazy low
I think the question should be;
Is there a way of getting Antony out of the door?

The penny has dropped with Ten Hag.
Dont think well recoup even a penny back
Get him a scooter and a Just Eat gig?
A bit out there but think he could possibly be converted to an emergency left back. Obvious the centre half’s and amarat doesn’t really work.
he works hard he can tackle he is mobile and is left footed and possibly offer outlet getting forward a bit too??

no, I think he's done here
He actually played well today.
He's literally just good at the technically slow passing build up. His close control is good but he has little to nothing else to his game.
No, totally incapable of beating his man. He might have had some use in the Dutch league where players are slower and weaker, but he’s of no use here.
Imagine him defending the back post for headers? It simply wouldn’t work.
Yes. Left back in Carrington.
There’s nothing there to fulfil the full back role either.
young and Valencia had similar problems when they were learning the role. Not have a bit more mobility at lb seems to be messing up balance hopefully wan bissaka back soon like expected
Play him on the left wing for the remainder of his time here. Get some crosses whipped in. He's not going to start beating his man down the right now so maybe we can make use of the cutbacks on his natural side. Other than that, I'm at a loss.
Just sell him back to Ajax, they didnt want to loose him. Take the hit. £40m back from £90 would be a result.
This man doesn't have 1/10th of the ability, physicality or intelligence that both Young and especially Valencia had.
Would he work any good as a CF i wonder? At least we wouldnt be pulling our hair out watching him run down alleys on the wing only pull it back and pass it infield every time / lose the ball.
He has a half decent shot on him. If we could just teach him to hit it first time theres a slight chance he could ease the burden on Hojlund.
Or am I grasping at straws here
