    Can't decide whether we take Antony off or let him work out the cobwebs. I think he's lacking sharpness after the pre-world cup injury and not playing that much in the WC.

    I'd give him until 60mins. We're comfortable enough that we don't need to hook him off at HT.
     
    Decent performance. The workrate from this team compared to last season is night and day.
     
    Overall a very good first half from us. Some players starter slow but really got into the game as it went on. Only really Antony that had a complete stinker half.
    2-0 before the second half is very good. Hope we kill the game with a quick goal in the second half.
     
    Players are either unwilling or unable to get out of second gear but it should be enough against a very poor team.

    Another goal should do it but we're hardly forcing the issue.

    Weird it took so long, well offside yet seemed like they were trying to fudge it. Commentator saying it's profoundly unfortunate., it's clear offside, not even tight. Why this sympathy against us when we've not been a threat for 10 years.

    Seems like they were trying to move Rashford's foot to make Boly onside.
     
    It's only early days but really not impressed by Antony's performances for us so far
     
    I fecking hate how this place turns on a player so fast. 5 games in the forum was collectively salivating over Antony, including ridiculous hyperbole. 45 minutes of a poor individual performance and some people are calling him shit, worse than Lingard, a flop, waste of space and money etc. Fair criticism is fair, he’s not played well, but some people just go over the top.

    Why are people such knee jerk idiots? Jesus, it’s sad watching the armchair mouth foamers tear down another player after watching the same fools overhype him to ridiculous levels.
     
    Great to have that Rashford and Martial link up back. Solskjaers biggest mistake was giving up on that link up after a bad run of form.
     
    Antony doesn't look up to the same level as your other attacking players at the moment.

    I'm giving credit and you're being argumentative for no real reason. Show me the posts crediting his decision to pass it in front of Martial to set up the first-time shot if you're so adamant that everyone's pointed it out?

    I'm being argumentative? :lol:

    You're obsessed mate.

    It was a great set up for the goal, if you're so adamant that it hasn't received the credit it deserves, start a thread at half time.
     
    Aside from their offside goal a really comfortable half. Hoping we keep the intensity up for 2nd half and Antony can create or score one or two.
     
    Antony has been awful today. Everyone else has been good. Casemiro makes it look so easy.
     
    If Gakpo hits the ground running at 'Pool, everyone is going to lose their shit at United and Antony, in the same way they did when we signed Memphis and they signed Mane.
     
    Grrrr we paid how much for Anthony yet Klopp flashes his teeth at PSV and they get Gakpo for half the price.
     
    Can't think of anyone I'd rather have on the right than Antony at the moment. Pretty much all our players are left sided players that struggle on the right. Just need some good words from Ten Hag to manage him and hopefully get an improvement.
     
    Great half. Just having three players who can pass the ball in the midfield makes such a difference in play. And then you add the individual qualities of Bruno, Eriksen and especially Casemiro-we look very comfortable. Hope we cruise to a nice victory after that minor hiccup.
     
    Excellent first 30 mins. Dropped off after. Casemiro, Rashford and Varane have all been excellent. Wish Varane and Casemiro were 5 years younger and we could clone them. Sigh.

    Need more from Martial and Antony. Forest still look threatening at times but one more goal and we'll be more comfortable.
     
    Not sure Antony should be subbed, it's a comfortable game so far for United, ETH might as well give him 20 extra minutes to try to shake it off on the pitch. Some players don't respond well at all to being subbed after a bad half.
     
    I still sometimes can't believe that Varane plays for us. What a defender. What a player. Same as Casemiro.

    On the hand, Antony worries me now. Good on the ball, perfect for ETH's system bla bla but that you can get for 10 mil. For 100 mil i expect way much more.
     
    Great to be 2-0 up. Get the third goal and kill the game.
     
    We may slag Liverpool for Nunez but comparably speaking he is much better money spent then either Sancho or Antony.

    At least he causes absolute havoc to the opposition
     
    Excellent performance. I just hope they dont take the foot off the gas. Rashford on fire. Casamiro Erikson and Bruno class midfield. AWB doing well again..
    Anthony still a touch rusty but it will come.
     
    Antony mysteriously gets "ill" before the World Cup and is swanning around delivering shit like that now he's back.

    Haul him off and let him know it's not acceptable.

    yeah. i think people are a bit too quick to forget about that time he span around twice with the ball glued to his foot.
