The scary part is, I don't see what the potential upside of Antony is. His best trick is a really slow and inaccurate imitation of Robben and you can't play him on the left because half the squad already plays there XD
he can kind of play CAM but worse than Sancho, Mount, and Fernandes.
The potential upside of Antony is the pure industry he offers us. He grafts more than any winger at our club currently!
Antony reminds me so much of Antonio Valencia, both were extremely one-footed. Both were great grafters. Both were frustrating in the final third too.
Hot take 🔥 but if we were to play a back 3 I think his qualities lend well to being a wing back.
@@-_-DatDude yes..but valencia was much better crosser of the ball than this 80m fidget spinner
@@malcolmchhakchhuak9150 Before the leg break yes but after the leg break Valencia end product was mad annoying. He'd constantly beat his man and fire off a low cross at one million miles an hour. Apart from the his workrate there's not much Antony offers to tell the truth.
Completely agree he is a dud. Mason mount is also an expensive ordinary player😢
In my opinion, Amad has the potential to have a better overall season being our starting RW than Antony, he might not just have the same opportunity as Antony cos he’s not Ten Hags record signing. I know he’s injured atm so we’d have to wait and see if he gets the minutes his stats last season shows he deserves
Amad will come back in November
agree mate
No doubt at all
You just pasted all I have in mind. This guy will cost ETH
And now he is banned from Brazil and United's starting 11 lmao
ETH had underestimate how difficult it is to play against the defense in the PL last season by spending most of the transfer budget to get Antony. sure Antony's arrival help the team to get into the system that the coach wants to play faster but the lack of quality of the player is clear for all to see.
@@kai__6488well they wasted time on de jong because of Ten Hag. Also he insisted on buying antony as he wanted him no matter the price. it's all on ETH I'm afraid.
@@kai__6488 7hag didn't have a clue about good players
Got handed a great young Ajax squad and then performed once that's it
Spent half a billion still can't make his team perform
Spent more than what klopp spent in 5 years while klopp received a washed squad he received a good squad still can't manage
Thinks he's pep when he's just a better version of lampard
@@kai__6488 onana ,de ligt, de Jong world class
Neres better than any winger united have got
Van De beek, ziyech were wasted or else top players
Blind, tadic, tagliafico, mazaraoui good players
Tenhag doesn't gets what he wants??
Got Anthony Who he thinks is world class for 80+ million
Casemiro one of the best cdm
Lisandro Martinez who he wanted
Onana who he wanted
Mount Who he anted despite him not fitting
Malacia who he wanted
Some of the players might not be his first priority but atleast he's getting players who are either his 2nd priority or he rates good
Him not spending more money is the least of the problems
What about how's he managing??
Shite against wolves Who maybe will fight for relegation
Shite against spurs
Lost to fckin burnley 3-0 behind the doors, shite pre season
After the beef situation with tenhag and sancho i can say that antony surely is the coach favourite, like i dont see any reason antony could start over sancho, he lacks creativity, cant dribble always lose ball, if we talk about pace sancho also fast and actually has high iq play
@@hijklmn Anthony can commit several felonies and be on the FBI's list but Erik 7hag would still start him
Initially, I gave Ten Hag the benefit of the doubt with regards to Antony’s signing. It’s a year later, and I am struggling to understand why we paid so much for him or why we bought him in the first place.
The answer to your question IS. THG responsible for this players unsuccessful choices not able to find a solution how to solve this problem and don't be surprise for getting worse

Lel, the cope is huge... It isn't possible that the problem is ten flop himself.
What a joke of a manager...
I think the main issue is the recruiting department. Man Utd need of a right winger is no secret. Antony was never near the price tag in the first place, but the recruiting team just allow the price to be inflated. All of sudden, a mediocre player worth 85 million and people start expecting him to be a top player. He was never near the top. He does not have the direct running as a young Hazard, nor the dribbling skill of a young Neymar, nor the speed of a young Bale, nor the creativity of a young Coutinho. He was just an average flashy winger with some fancy but mostly ineffective footwork even at Ajax.
Ten Hag just scammed Utd into giving the money to his beloved club Ajax lol
I love Antony and was very excited when we signed him as I trust Ten Hag and Antony looked exciting but I do agree with all you said and he is currently very frustrating
Anthony need to try the actual left position
He's been frustrating since he came. He's way too predictable
i feel the same way. i like the guy and his passion but unfortunately he's not good enough for prem league so is ten hag . i'm sure there were a lot fans were excited when ten hag came last year but this point on will be disappointed
Ten Hag just scammed Utd into giving the money to his beloved club Ajax lol
Sancho was decent as a false 9 in pre season dunno y Ten Hag has overlooked him so far playing Rashford instead
Yh facts and they shud put nacho on d right so he can cross instead of shoot
You’re probably right! But this is what it come to? It’s a joke that we’re going through this at this point in the season!
It's frustrating because it's been evident since last season Rashoford best position is LW, and like you said Sancho does well in the false nine. It's like the manager wants us to lose games
Fuck that I reckon slap Rashford on the left, Bruno false 9 and Sancho on the right. We’d play fluently I can see it.
@@refigee8752Last season, he's been our LW for 6 yrs, how people are still confused about Rashford's favourite position, is a scary thought
Why no mention of Pellistri ?
On the few occasions he has been given minutes he has performed well .
Ten Hag continues with Antony because he pushed through his recruitment.
I think he’s great, both Pellistri and Garnacho just need to bulk up a little so they can hold off defenders
Agree he is the only winger who actually runs to the bye line and crosses, Anthony's right foot is practically non existant.
Ten Hag just scammed Utd into giving the money to his beloved club Ajax lol
ETH decisions are quite worrying so far and some of his former season stars are just out of form so far. hope ETH gives the youngsters more chance to play so that his stars understand they must deserve their place in the MU team
When ETH first came to United, everybody talked about how much United were going to possess the ball more often. United's training sessions were primarily possession. ETH brought in the players to play that way including Antony, Eriksen, Martinez and even Malacia. Now he's abandoned that playing style and now these players can't do what they were brought in to do anymore.
Now that it is confirmed that Greenwood is leaving United. My patients has run slim with Anthony. He better get good offensively or get on the same boat as Maguire and MacTom and bug off.
I fully agree with your analysis here. I’m getting more & more frustrated watching Antony play in the last 2 games. The guy is just so predictable when it comes to dribbling and decision making. I could somewhat look over this last season since it was his first season at OT. However, this is the 2nd season so if he won’t improve, I would like Ten Hag to give the opportunity to Pellistri. But lets be honest, we all know that this will never happen lol
I need a video like this for Rashford, his decision making is no better than Antony's imo, whether he's playing on the left or up front
Nah rashford’s decision making is far better, particularly from the left side
I am not saying that Rashford decion making is excelent, but I don't think I have ever seen a worse football player (or as bad) as Antony when it comes to decisions..so Marcus is much better
@@AtlantisFootball Stop waffling mate, Rashford doesn't even look for a pass when he cuts in. You can say he has better dribbling or shooting but don't lie and say he has better decision making.
His decision making is far better than Antony, that’s why he scored 30 goals in the league last season. It’s not waffle at all, any neutral fan can tell you that. Just admit Antony isn’t good enough. I don’t no why you are trying to bring Rashford into this debate about Antony
That’s why he plays as a LW primarily. He won’t play as a CF when Hojlund is back. That video would be pretty pointless considering that
Interesting analysis on Antony particularly with the.videos, pictures and arrows to illustrate your points. However, I was waiting keenly to see the same detailed analysis for AWB and Varane both of whom you said were part of the problem in the Tottenham game.
Varane passes backward 80% of the time. AWB has little football IQ. 😢
@@djonalexander3628 Well, our opinion obviously differ significantly. Like I have said, I await the video analysis on how both players are part of the problem.
Antony is a special talent.
Cannot dribble, Cannot run, Cannot pass
One of the best conmans in EPL.
Enjoyed your analysis, good insights. I’m really worried as a united fan as I don’t think he’s good enough , he gives the ball away too much and isn’t creative enough. What do you think to Sancho on the right ? I think when Sancho is good he is really good, like we saw at Dortmund. What do you think , can you analyse?
As a United fan I dont want this sort of things to be true, I always hope our players do well..but I have always said, players like him and Sancho who have to beat the same player 2-3 times to make something happen...when they beat defenders they don't completely leave them for dead like Rashford and Ganacho do, the defender always has a chance to get back. Those sort of players more often than not will struggle in the Premier league
"Mom I want Robben" the MU "We have Robben at home"
Mount off the right progressing the ball through combination play with AWB could be a solution if we sign Amrabat in the midfield role. I think even if we play McTominay in that role and shift Mount out there, we'd benefit more and have the added benefit of height and physicality in midfield to counter press and defend in transition more effectively than we are currently. McTominay's ability to carry from deep as well can be useful depending on the situation. Not sure why we haven't done this yet.
The team will be balanced with hojlund as a number 9 and rashford gets back to the LW in this case even Onana will have variety of choices to pass either play from the back or use the wingers and straight to number 9……We are still hopefull for improvement
The initial three matches I observed with Anthony made me believe he might become another disappointment for Manchester United. Consequently, whenever I witness Manchester United placing their faith in this player, whom Scholes referred to as a "one-trick pony," it gives me the impression that the club's standards have dropped, and they're unlikely to achieve significant success.
so this is what i actually mean when i said we didnt seem sharp at all. thank you for adress this!
Rashford ran as a decoy but Anthony doesn't just understand the game yet because that pass should have to Garnacho, But he optioned to pass to Rashford instead who's running into a tight angle, Eric ten hag has some decisions to make otherwise he will go down the same route the other managers before him went, I hope he doesn't but if things continues the way they're then am afraid it might come to that.
100% agree Antony needs to be tested on the LW but problem his he’s never gonna take Rashfords position. Such a left footed RW doesn’t work imo, will never get a quick cross in when he’s got to switch position to his left
You're so right about Anthony but the next thing is what is the manager doing about it we as fans can see the problem but the manager won't tell him what to do i personally don't rate ten hag
I rate him a five hag
I think Antony is going to cost us severely this season. Amad should be given the nod ahead of him immediately he's back from injury.
I totally agree with this ideas. Thank you. Even I don't what he thinks when holding a ball. Poor thinking and decision making. How many excuses? Compare him with Olise of Crystal palace.
spot on
Spot on bro
Thanks man
Hey, Atlantis Football. Can you make videos analysing former players of Man United? Like Carrick, RVP and etc
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Man I watched this video and read the comments I’m an Ajax supporter I was sad to see him go but as United is my favorite premier league club it was a win-win in the end. I thought Ajax supporters were spoiled as we have the biggest budget in the eredivisie but reading the comments I realize how spoiled Man United supporters are and it makes sense as you could afford to always buy the best players but Antony at Ajax was always the most motivated most energetic most driven player on the team. I realize PL is different from the Dutch league but I always appreciated Antony for his fighting spirit. Yes he makes some bad decisions sometimes but have you ever seen a player that never Made a mistake? I saw Antony play at the Johan Cruyff Arena even his debutmatch for Ajax So Im not a RUclips keyboard warrior. What I’m saying is Antony can make match deciding actions when it counts just wait and watch.
He is shytee for premier League
Why didn't we sign Adama Traore for free since we're going to play transition football this season?
He's a good dribbler, good in transition and can put in decent crosses for Hojlund
We can’t afford to have mediocre players wear the united shirt, sorry but harsh reality. Most players in the current squad aren’t united level. Atleast not the level I would expect after witnessing Ronaldo, Rooney, Scholes, Keane, Giggs etc wear this shirt. United really struggle to sign players that are “worthy” to wear this shirt. We need to stop signing mid players. United isn’t a broke club. If we progress like this, united will become less and less appealing for world class players to sign for us, if there is no positive outlook. Who would want to waste his career at united? There is still hope, and I haven’t given up on the club, but the days are over when united is club that world class players dream to play for one day…
@@vince5127guess what? Yall sign a mediocre player paying him all your budget 😂😂😂 atleast Adama wouldnt cost that much.
@@ALARGADORDECU sign a mediocre player for a lot of money or sign a mediocre player for cheap is almost the same thing, in a way that we shouldn’t sign mid players in the first place..
@@vince5127 If you say so, MU Just throw away 80m
@@ALARGADORDECU yeah but we shouldn’t have signed shitty expensive players either. It’s not about Antony for 100 mil vs Adama for very cheap, we could have signed a quality winger for 100 mil
If Greenwood is gonna come back, RW is a must for next Summer. If Olise has another great season, we get him.
Greenwood will probably play RW if he returns though...

This has aged like milk in the summer sun.

@@gra9 I've never watched him and thought he is a true no.9 he loves running at people too much. Anyways, he is moving on
Being an analyst of football, you should know how quick the game moves, especially in the premier league. I admit Antony needs to improve in all areas don't get me wrong, but you can't just single him out. Our entire midfield has been atrocious, thus far including arguably our best player in Bruno. Things will click eventually, these players are still adapting to the 3-1-6 system and I can understand Antony's indecisiveness because players keep doubling up on him.
Amad should get a chance once he's fit and ready to play, time on the bench will do wonders for Antony who is at the moment not firing at all cylinders while being one dimensional. He doesn't have a right foot, he doesn't take on and always cuts in from the flanks being too predictable.
I want a video on why scotty could be a solution in our midfield even if it’s temporary
Great analysis… please go on and analyse the bad decisions of rashford when on the left and bruno(anywhere on the pitch)…. I am going against the grain here but I think rashford on the right and Bruno really cost us many points and both have an x-factor but otherwise mostly they just don’t create enough… rashford can’t pass and Bruno keeps losing the ball
amad as soon as he is fit put him on rw and bench antony bring him on when we trying to hold on to a lead he works hard ill give him that
The last 2 games of the season sancho played on the rw and looked far better than antony. Sancho may not be as agreesive but has much better composure and decision making in the final 3rd. And after a positive pre season he should be starting
You can see it........I can see it...........many others can see it, why can ETH???
it's so frustrating 😫
Bro I’ve been saying this. Put Antony ton the left and make him play it early unless he gets a 1v1. He’s slowing the attack down.
The scary part is he played under Ten Hag for so many years and Ten Hag still got it wrong. Now, almost all the players we sign are based on Ten Hag's suggestions with zero input from our scouts!
Bad players bad decisions lost ronaldo . Ten hag must b fired
No utd player in his possession should be so obsessed with scoring goals, linking up and assisting should be his priority.
This man is killing us slowly.
I'm just in tears that Amad is injured right now. Osman Dembele went to Saudi Arabia on free transfer and we are here struggling with no striker. He's only 27
Dembele is playing at psg right now
@@user-vt4oh8mp9x the other one playing for Lyon last season
As a man u fan, I look at the Manager. It is the manager’s decision. Don’t blame the players. Players don’t decide whether to play and/or play what decision
And also Garnacho's poor decision making process. Currently he is better suited coming on as a sub. When he start there is no production at all
Someone please show this video to Erik Ten Hag. Very accurate.
What is Antony doing on the left, it won't be bad but I think for now, mount should occupy that right hand side, Dalot should come back to the team then maybe we can use Antony on the right for now, we can get casemiro back and we should start thinking of using a 433 midfield with Luke shaw at left and bruno at right while we bring in malacia for defensive covering, at least malacia is a better ball player than awb, also we should experiment with sancho as an 8 and bruno is a deep lying playmaker with bottom level teams
In as much as Antony has being highlighted here, it's a scape goat kind of thing. In the past we had good passes coming from our captain Bruno to the strikers and we scored but not any more, gernacho was also good but these two games we've not had the best of him. Rashford had done good chances against Tottenham do did Bruno but failed to convert. Let's wait for rasmus to come in and we will see
It’s not a scapegoat. He is performing far worse than everyone else has and this is not a this season thing it stems from last season as well
Agree strongly
In my view Manchester United management must do a through background check of each and every player before signing them.
Because of their young age , their personal background check becomes a mandatory club hiring practice. We need this precautions because of certain past involvements of players which has an negative impact in the team. Its better to be safe as much as possible. Club medical department should be involved whenever necessary to assist in the hiring process beside their normal medical checkup practice. If not done now a psychological test of all players should be made from time to time to ensure their mental fitness as well.
That's not going to do anything, Background checks don't predict the future. You could have done a background check on both Greenwood and Antony and they would have passed
the best part about this the coach will keep playing him no matter what
The amount of times AWB makes a good underlapping/overlapping run that could spark something jus 4 Antony 2 cut inside n we have 0 momentum is abysmal. I've lost patience wit him already, nothing like his Ajax days n we cannot wait forever, what he needs is bench time but this so called "ruthless" manager of ours won't even consider it unless Antony gets the first 60-70 minutes
Even when he played in the Netherlands, I was never impressed by Anthony. Evra said it perfectly, he is a 1 trick poney, and I am convinced that he will never be a top player. When I heard they paid 100 million for Anthony I could not believe it. Anthony SEEMED good because at Ajax he was flanked by good players like Mazraoui (currenty Bayern)
He was decent at Ajax but needed a move to somewhere like Leverkusen or Dortmund. Was always going to be wishful thinking to think he was good enough to be a starter. Maybe as a second choice RW but not for £80m
Antony is a personification of whats wrong with our club. Antony strongest qualities, like a good few of our first team players is... off the ball metrics.
Love him or loathe him... Antony is a grafter. He reminds me so much of Antonio Valencia in that respect. Both are/were amazing grafters. Both are/were extremely one-footed. Both are temperamental and both frustrated the living daylight out of me in the final third too.
Like I said in another comment. Its a bit of a hot take 🔥 but if we were to play a back 3. His off the ball qualities lend well to being a decent wing back imo.
Just an analogy, you hired a bodyguard to protect you. Time and again he slips up in protecting you and in his basic responsibilities.
But you're willing to keep up with his liabilities because he washes plates & does laundry, folds clothes.
He was got to play effectively as a winger not a grafter.
@@derek009 LOL 😆 joker. I am personally giving Antony till the end of this season before I start writing him off as a flop and demand to get rid.
@@-_-DatDude Lmao...Take note of this thread and the date, we'll meet here to share our verdict at the end of the season. In the main time, hope & graft with him, dude😂🤣🤣
Reasons to all your questions: Anthony plays with one leg
I dont know how with this video you didnt analyse Diallo and Pellestri and what if anything they would bring in that position. As i do believe ETH will just persist with Antony as he knew these problems with Antony existed
I didn’t analyse them because they didn’t play in this game. This video is about Antony vs Wolves. I pray to God ETH didn’t see these issues with Antony that is incredibly concerning. Persisting with Antony is going to get him sacked
Tbh none of these players seem to be coached properly or they just don’t learn they keep making the same mistakes idk what United do in training but it’s not fixing players individual problems
I’ve been saying this 😭he is overhyped …Damn I’m really gonna miss GREENWOOD 😭
I understand the frustration but where was this kind of criticism to Sancho? I mean I have yet to see this star signing deliver 2 years later even after getting a special training regimen and all the patience in the world but didn't see any videos targeting him. Antony had more of an impact in a single season than Sancho in two, You can actually tell when he's on the pitch and the desire and attitude he brings and also his defensive engagement and solidarity with his teammates.
I think people are being unfair with Antony as he has already proven with his first season that he could become a key player for the club, but seeing how bad most of the team looked the past two games, I think the manager has to take responsibility.
I completely disagree with moving him to the left, that will completely amputate him as a player, he's not a crosser, he's got that brazilian flair like Vinicius, Neymar, Ronaldinho, etc. They all literally HAVE to play in these positions it's in their nature. If you watch him in Ajax you can see apart from cutting inside he also loved going down the touchline near the edge of the corner and taking on his opponents, it seems to me he's being instructed otherwise so this has to be a tactical issue because he's totally capable of doing so.
Sancho had plenty of criticism but was nowhere near as bad as Antony. Antony looks like he is playing with two left feet. It’s nothing to do with the system or tactics it’s his own ability
Do united have the players to make a 442 diamond system work
for some reasons i feel like Teg hag will step down soon , he started sound like Ole on his last days at MU
Antony is used as a scape goat. We just need a striker in the team who can tap in or head in to score. When you have a deadly complete striker then you set. Man city having haaland solves it all.
Who's going to give a good cross for the tap in, antony?? 😂
He'll be too busy trying to make RUclips videos than set up a chance for a tap in
Next game we need top drop Anthony put Bruno wide and Scott in the pivot role
What an irony, we went a full circle from getting onto cloud nine when he got signed to having a constant bad taste in our mouths from his play within one year. The most terrible thing is that while a bad technique could be fixed with hard work in the training, low football IQ does not come like that. It saddens me that he fell victim to his habits on the pitch that just do not do the trick and is unlikely to break this vicious cycle.
I agree with MOST of what you're saying in this video, but I feel like it's a little unfair to focus on Antony. I like Garnacho, a lot, however some of the mistakes and decisionmaking on his part has been atrocious. I'd argue that Antony is doing much more for the attack than Garnacho in the first two games this season.
Garnacho is a young player who really shouldn't be starting and looked more impressive than Antony last season. Antony is more experienced, older, cost substantially more and should be a starting player
Garnacho isn’t 23 and didn’t cost €100m

@@jasonc1448facts
We know his shortcomings , deeper issue is who scouted , recruited and bought him at such a premium and why. Answers to these questions would help us set things right for the long term rather than focusing on symptoms of the problem like Antony etc !
Who else but ETH ?
Erik ten hag, and he bought him because of Ajax connection. Called favoritism
HOW ABOUT DOING A VIDEO TITLED"HOW RASHFORD'S BAD DECISIONS AND LOSS OF FORM WILL GET ETH THE SACK!"
Antony is very young and is learning while Rashford is an experienced veteran in his 7th season at United on astronomical wages!
When will he score 20 goals consistently for 2 seasons at least?
Prejudice and bias against foreign players is annoyng by some media outlets !
Anthony and garnacho are the epitome of wingers indecisivenss
whens the video about rashford's bad decisions?
Rashford’s bad decisions are nowhere near as bad as Antony. Also Rashford literally scored 30 goals last season. Why are you so desperate to defend Antony. This is Man Utd FC not Antony FC
For every Vincius, there are 10 favela boys like Antony and Richarlison!
I watched when ten hag pushed cristiano out of his childhood club because he doesnt fit anymore and i think its accurate because he dont press that much like his earlier epl days.But now watching the team i am thinking why the hell is he keeping martial and antony who doesnt even have half the impact ronaldo had when he played the last season.
What happened to garnacho he was a perfect Winger taking on full backs and putting in a cross but now he caught Antony cut inside virus
The reason is he’s better as a sub when defenders are tired.
Not only Anthony , Marcus , Bruno was the same ,Bruno gets away with because he has that one ball that gets converted , Marcus was very wasteful the season before , ETH will protect Anthony because he is one off his own and his willingness to get back
Rashford and Bruno have been nowhere near as bad as Antony
Sucks to say but Greenwood would be a huge upgrade to all 3 spots
Wh6 did we buy Antony?
Antony is a winger who likes playing amd linking up with a fullback and somehow believes his job is getting the ball to the fullback at the edge of the opposition box to put in the cross for a striker,only in the epl your job as a winger is much more than that,youre responsible for creativity,goals and defensive duties
Did Antony have any pace when at Ajax. Cos he has nonpace at man u.
I've been saying this since last year. Antony will never be a great or world class player for Utd or anyone. He not only lacks the skill to beat EPL defenders, but also lacks basic skills to be great anywhere. And most importantly, he's a bad character and has a horrible attitude.
Erik made a HUGE mistake forcing our front office to buy this guy. He's worth 20-30 mil at the absolute most! Erik is proving to be a very strange coach at this point now. I was ALL for him coming in and completely changing this team and making smart decisions, changing the way we play and lineup. But some of the choices he made last year and now this year are very worrying. The first one being, that he made Utd pay an absolutely INSANE transfer fee for Antony. He's never going to be anywhere near worth what they paid for him and is just another example of Utd wasting money. And it's extremely weird that Erik (who is seemingly very intelligent) would stick his neck out for this guy and ask for a record transfer fee for a player that has no record of scoring lots of goals, providing lots of assists or being an amazing player. And especially seeing that he's coming form the Eredivisie, a league that is miles lower than most of the other big European leagues. He has 18 goals at Ajax in 57 appearances. Not horrific, but definitely nothing to get excited about. 6 goals in 48 appearances in Sao Paolo. And 4 goals in 27 appearances for Utd. Those are NOT good numbers at all.
The second being that he continues to not tell Harry Maguire to not let the door hit him on the way out! It's been clear as day to anyone with a functioning brain, that Maguire is absolutely garbage for at least 2-3 years now. When Utd bought him, I was completely confused. He wasn't good enough for Utd back then, and he's only gotten much much worse each season since. So WHY is Erik playing this charade in public by saying Harry is a good defender, but then he never plays him and says he is going to have to compete if he wants to get into the side? Be a Man and make the easy call. Fire this guy and get in a player that can actually play, because Maguire can not defend. He's atrocious and his attitude is just as bad.
Then I'm really worried about Erik and this new 3-1-6 "in possession" formation with two no 8's that is NOT WORKING AT ALL. It's scary that he would try this so early in the season, when the team is clearly still just trying to put together good performances week in and week out. Which they can't do! So why is he trying to implement this difficult to understand and difficult to play well formation?!?! And why did he pick the exact same team to go out against Tottenham when it was absolutely destroyed by Wolves the week before who are not at the level of Tottenham?!?! That is a very worrying red flag in my mind about Erik. Sure, he is intelligent and has great ideas about how to play football, but I'm really worried about his ignorance of knowing WHEN to switch it up. Play a formation the players know and can carry out well. Work on this other formation as they gain confidence and after the team starts winning and playing well. Slowly start integrating it. I'm not saying Erik is a bust at this point or anything like that. We've had 2 bad games and it's very early in the season. We shouldn't be freaking out and calling for him to get sacked and all that. But he has made some very worrying calls on player acquisitions and tactics/formations/squad choices and that needs to be remedied. Not forced down the teams throat, all the while we keep loosing. That is NOT how you change a team and implement a new strategy of how to play.
And as far as Antony goes, If you watch him at Ajax, the ONLY thing he did well, was dance around some defenders with some fancy footwork and then make a generic pass to someone else. He provides virtually nothing to Utd's attack and is a horrible teammate. Constantly makes the wrong decision. Misses absolute SITTERS in front of the goal all the time. Is really not even that fast. He's quick, but is always easily caught by basically anyone chasing him. Can't make a good pass to save his life (the only pass I've ever seen him make that was fantastic was the preseason game against Lens where he held up, waited for Rashford's run and put it in there perfectly. That's it! Never seen anything like that from him).
In addition, he lacks basic skills that every footballer should have! It's astonishing how he's come this far and is on such a big team with such HORRIFIC shooting and passing. He can barely shoot with his left foot and it's more like a pass. SOO weak. And not very accurate at all. Can't even use his right. And his passing with both feet is childlike at best. And to top it all off, he has a HORRIBLE attitude. He's constantly scowling on the pitch, has a petulant nasty attitude and is constantly getting into fights with other players. Gives up horrible child like fouls because he thinks he was wronged.
He has had a full year, an off season and now 2 games this year to "get used" to the team and the EPL. And it's safe to say, he is not getting it. And it's because of all these issues I've listed. He just doesn't have the talent or ability. And his attitude is horrible. He will go down as another one of Man Utds HUGE MASSIVE flops, along with Pogba and Maguire. The absolute best he can ever be is maybe 10 goals, a few assists and that's it. And that's only IF he changes his attitude and starts carrying more about being a great teammate, playing better and giving his all and dropping the petulant/nasty attitude.
Amad and Pellistri would be a HUGE upgrade to start over Antony and I'm fairly certain Erik made a HUGE mistake bringing this guy to our team. Erik needs to drop him right away and let Pellistri and then Amad have the bulk of the opportunities going forward. They have proven that they will work hard, have great attitudes and actually had much better spells of play then Antony.
i agree with you on Anthony he just doesn't have the quality to play in prem . i think Ten hag underestimated the level of prem league and ten hag needs to realize Anthony is not good enough and giving Pellistri , Amad more game times instead of keeping using Anthony. All top coaches made bad signings that's okay but quit being so stubborn
I totally agree with this analysis. I have also found antony to be a liability for united. I think he is just not that good, and he is very predictable with the left foot curler of his.
We really need to up our game when it comes to recruitment because our signings are not doing anything for us.
pellistri will provide different option
Imagine if we had Greenwood there!
I wish Antony wud keep his ego aside and watch saka and salahs videos wit d sincerity to learn
Give pellistri a go starting on the rw
Put anyone on the RW at this point
The team's tactics are read during the match, there is no hostility from the players and no continuity in performance, the game system is legible, easy to predict, there is no high pressure and the attackers do not defend, Shaw's slow movement and Rashford plays and does not care about the team, he only wants to score goals and loses the ball quite easily, Anthony expects his skills, dribbling and bad decisions throughout the game, Casemiro is slow and easy to dodge, the team is pathetic I was expecting a team to compete, but there is still a long way to go and I hope to improve and change the playing tactic
Antony's price tag means its hard for EtH to justify another outlay on a right winger but he is seriously 40mil overpaid and not quite up to PL standards. Granted he can improve but he looks woefully out of his depth now, too 1-dimensional and getting most things wrong. And there aren't any real competitors on the right flank, or options for EtH. Would really like to see Utd sign another right winger before the transfer window shuts but don't think that's gonna happen.
The fact that he keeps on playing the same erratic way over and over is a worry and that Ten Hag isn't doing anything it seems to make him change his ways especially poor decision making.
I swear every shot a Man U player takes goes over or around the net. Never in it lol
The whole team is playing ass man. I know he needs to Improve but it’s too early to call him a flop.
Can we talk about Garnacho’s bad decision, they near enough bring down the moral of the team.
Problem with the kid is he thinks he's Cr7. Not joking
I even thought it's the coach asking him to dribble and stay with the ball. That's for Messi.
Too much hate😭, he'll improve
He’s literally been performing like this for over 8 months. Stop referring to everything as hate. We aren’t waiting 3 years for a player to reach average level
Comparing Saka of Arsenal to Antony, no wonder Arsenal is better in attacking from the right.
I’ve never hating a signing more than Antony
Hated**
What does cheap good quality football jerseys mean !!! I want top quality, meaning the best quality!? How they were made by Adidas - original ?
At last someone is talking about antony's shitty decisions😭😭
He doesn’t use space well
Antony is becoming predictable every defender pretty much knows what he's gonna do. And he needs to learn to use his right leg
In all of these positions I see Antony making these wrong decisions, I think Sancho, Pellistri & Diallo would’ve made better decisions. He needs to give someone else an extended run on that right flank like he has given Antony. Besides the fact he makes poor decisions, I think Eric has made him a lil too comfortable.
And the funny thing is that even with his poor play, when he gets substituted he goes off in a huff! He doesn't appreciate the chance ETH is taking on him, neither does he get that as fans we wonder why he keeps getting minutes. He works hard but he's just not good enough for united.
Anthony doesn't want to play on left wing....doesn't want to cross from right wing
