I think so. He has a very good first touch and is very good at creating space to shoot or pass.

I think so. He has a very good first touch and is very good at creating space to shoot or pass.
Yeah its always easier to follow the shot in when you're a forward than when you're a defender.Half-timeWe have not been good - but 2-0 away at Forest is a strong result. They havent lost in 8
How long you been holding onto that one
Now take Casemiro and Rashford off and wrap them in cotton wool
I don’t see it. He should be doing a hell of a lot more. He should be driving at players but he’s almost still playing within himself.Antony has been playing amazingly. Most talented player on the team. All the hatred and criticism of him here is laughable.
Definitely but people on here need a whipping boy ya know?Antony's ability to keep the ball is world class but he needs to take more risks in his passing.
Good game from him today.Not sure we have been wonderful but its pretty nice to be 2-0 at HT in that case.
Isn’t this his third game ?
He's a young player at the biggest club in the World with a huge price tag. I think he's done really well, he's only been around a few months.The team have been quite sloppy at times, but 2 nil up at half time, away from home, in a semi final, is very good indeed!
They should get it. That is the mentality EtH was talking about. So many of our players lower down after they score, thinking game over. Then, other team wakes up, starts attacking, our stars start panicking and kicking a ball everywhere.Safe to say we need a new starting midfielder in the summer.
Eriksen has his uses but certain games he can't play in a two. Doesn't have the legs.Happy for WW, he deserved a goal. Feels like we're on 50% energy mode today. Good result so far but my god is Bruno having a mare.Pure strikers instinct goal there from Weghorst. Martial very rarely scores those kind of goals.Hopefully control the game, nick 1 more and job done, tie over and can rotate like crazy next 2 games.
ffsFortunate , but well taken by WeghorstHonestly think Sancho will love to play off Weghorst. He’s a centre forward to play into, good touch, good control. great finish then from the big ladHow long you been holding onto that one
not long at all, theres a longer version in his signing thread but no cnut commented on it
It’s Nottingham Forest we are playing not Real Madrid
Jesus.2-0 is a really good lead at the break. We are lucky Forest aren’t particularly great because that first half display is mired by bad touches, bad decision making and stupid flicks which has meant that we gave them a bit of the game when it should be complete domination. Because of this the game feels far from over. Without exposing ourselves to the counter like we did on numerous occasions in that 1st half, we should push for another goal in the 2nd to try and kill the tie off.
No, saved shots are only classed as an assist on FPLIs that an Antony assist?
Hopefully get a third and then be able to rest some players and give Pelestri and Garnacho a go.Weghorst and Antony looked good. Bruno has been diabolical, he really needs a rest.Very lucky not to have conceded.
Bruno and Antony incredibly frustrating to watch at times. So many dumb decisions.
I know but when have we ever made it easy for ourselves
I feel like today he's a lot more proactive and trying risky things. It's not all working out but I'd rather see this style from him. Much better performance todayReally need to sharpen up second half, some real sloppy play. I reckon ETH is going to go mad at HT even though we're ahead.Antony has been good overall despite the missed chance. Happy for Wout. Glad we scored and Rashford wasn't involved, we are in danger of becoming a one man teamAntony getting involved as he has played more through the middle this half. We have to bring him more into position there.Sloppy game by us, but more or less in control of the tie with that second goal. Happy for Weghorst to get off the mark relatively early in his career.Weghorst is exactly what we need from a budget striker. Good acquisition.Woutiful end to that halfAntony has been good. Looking dangerousMovement, hold up play, passing, positioning and pressing has been good for a player of Weghorst's size.
We need to get him more involved by passing to his feet and playing in and around him. He does the basics so well, it's a net positive.- Status
