This was really the only time he's shown an all round performance, ie creative, goal threat, tidy in possession and did his defensive work. Let's not pretend that's all those 3 did all season, it's far more nuanced than that.
I hope this is where he kicks on and gets the minutes he's now truly earned. I've always said he should be getting them on his merit not the fact that Rashford or Antony have been dog, but I think people are getting a little over excited about one performance against a pretty shit Newcastle back line.
No, Ten Hag had less than nothing to gain, he's just really stubborn and probably a bit of a shit manager based on the evidence at united.
yuh, it’s just been so obvious for months for anyone with a brain cell that he should have been given chances ahead of Rashford and Anthony who have stunk the place out all season. People were looking for reasons like downplaying his impact at Sunderland or suggesting Ten Hag must not fancy him in training. Nonsense really and in actual fact not even relevant considering how fecking bad Antony and Rashford have been. It’s not even just one game with Amad. It’s this game, the Liverpool game, all his cameos where he has just looked better and more decisive than Anthony and Rashford. He’s quick at making decisions in the final third, whether that be passing shooting or dribbling. There’s no fecking about, running around in circles, hesitating to make passes like those two clowns we’ve played all season.
Sure fire starter in the cup final for me.
I can’t see it . Rashy is back
People were jumping through hoops to defend the managers shitty decisions and for some reason are still doing so now.
That move when he got a 1 2 on the right of their box and nearly walked it in reminded me a bit of Messi! Couldn’t get the shot away though.
Definite potential there. Him and Olise for the right wing next season?
Sell Sancho and Antony.

You do remember who equalised for us in that game, right?
It's been incredibly obvious for a lot of people on here, I'm surprised people are still defending the managers decision.
Nope. Too injury prone. Sell Sancho and Greenwood. Unfortunately I can't see anyone taking Antony off our hands unless it's a loan.
He deserves a place in the final, but we all know Rashy will get it whilst he comes on in the 86th minute with us 3-1 down.
Don’t think there’s any chance of that happening but hopefully he starts Brighton game.
Thing is when we first bought him he showed enough promise to get more game time than he got under Ole who basically blanked him and Similar thing happened Under Ten Hag till recently .
Only time he was trusted by his manager was at Sunderland and he did well there .
He’s better than Palmer when fit though, and it could have just been a blip. I’m sure most of us would bite Chelsea’s hand off if we could sign Palmer for 60m. Let Amad come off the bench and play cup games etc.
I think he’s finally coming through now. Lot’s of strange choices still, but he is becoming more assertive at this level. At times today we saw what can happen if him, Bruno and Mainoo start to get each other. Mainoo, Amad and Højlund on the score sheet is a perfect way to round of the home season with regards to silver linings.
Class player and it's been very obvious for years.
It’s strange that you, with your psychic powers, should be surprised by anything aye?
If he had put on a blue shirt 4 years ago instead of a red one, I think he could have been in and around Foden level. At the time he joined, he was so highly rated in European football, and with the right environment and development, there’s no telling what he could have become.
We really need the guys off the pitch to implement a pass and move playing style and culture in the club, I’m tired of players of high technical ability constantly described as ‘would suit/excel at City’ but not here. We need a footballing environment that allows Amad’s, Bernardo’s, Mata’s, Foden etc to blossom. I’m hoping Ashworth and Wilcox set about this as a priority.

You and I have hugely differing views on Palmer. I think he's level above Olise when they're both fit.
I do agree we could do with a RW to compete with Amad (if we can sell 2 or 3 other wingers first) but I'm tired of seeing us sign injury-prone players. Same goes for Isak up front as well.
ETHs mismanagement of Amad is yet another reason to severely doubt his ability to spot a potential superstar.
Saved our season vs Liverpool in the cup and was amazing and we don’t see him again for a month. Wtf is that?
He’s by far from the finished article but is dimensions ahead of Antony in almost every respect.
Well done amad!!!!

Yeah with all due respect, I’ve sat through a decade of watching my club repeatedly feck everything up, so no I’m not going to give them the benefit of the doubt after watching Antony play constantly for 2 straight seasons and having Amad rot on the bench for almost 6 months before finally getting a start.
He keeps it simple but is capable of turning it on with a flash of something that can beat a player and you can see defenders realise that.
Defenders have no respect for Antony because they know he offers nothing.

Yes that was a completely accurate statement.
He was very good today which I'm delighted to see.
Someone posted a stat last night that Olise is the highest rated winger in the league who has played more than 400 minutes or something like that. He was ahead of Palmer in that list, who was second.
Also, he has 10 goals and 4 assists in 13 games. I think there’s very little between them.
But anyway, good performance from Amad tonight, deserves to start the last two games now.
To be fair to Antony, he may have weakly passed it into the keepers arms
I'm surprised by lots of things, people doubling down on shit opinions shouldn't but always does.
You didn't really say that did you? Decent?
That was my first reaction when the ball flew in! I almost forgot we could have a RW capable of hitting a ball with power.
You didn't really say that did you? Decent?
I think I said good then quantified that a good loan in the Championship is at best a decent indicator of what will happen if that player returns to a top half Premier League club.
Let's be honest, Jack Clarke has been Sunderland's talisman this season more so than Amad was. If we sign him in the summer are we going to be raving about it being a great move and him needing to play? No.
I'm sure I've seen numerous Sunderland fans saying Amad is the best player they've ever seen playing for their club.
Jack Clarke isn't half the player Amad is. Amad does need to play. He's our best right sided option.
Very good performance. He's a much better option than Antony and 3 years younger. Hopefully he can stay fit.
I imagine you've never seen Jack Clarke play tbh.
Let's see if he can prove that by being better than neat and tidy when given opportunities for us. He was very good today, his best performance for us.
If players play better than they have then my opinion on them raises. I hope mine raises exponentially.
I haven't.
Oh I've seen Jack Clarke play plenty.
Amad has been better than neat and tidy on more than one occasion. I wish some of our other players were merely neat and tidy.
Perhaps you're just a poor judge of talent because Amad is a lot better than you realise.
I was going to saw Amad reminds me of Bernardo Silva.
You can see the cleverness in his play. He's thinking a couple of moves ahead.
We've too many brainless players.
I think ETH's ego prevented him from playing.
He couldn't admit he spent 90m on a player worse that a player we already had.
It wasn’t just Antony. When Antony wasn’t available, to accommodate the stinking performances of Rashford, Garnacho was moved on the left.
Just goes to show fans are right most times as well and the manager really is/was clueless.
I bow to your superior knowledge. Thank you for the education, I suppose that is why so many top clubs were fighting for him on loan before he went to Sunderland.
fact is he wouldn't start for any of the top 4 sides
No need to bow, but credit to you for your humility. Top clubs? He was signed by Manchester United for a significant amount of money. Better still, he's actually worth the investment we made.
