Better performance but needs to work on using his right foot occasionally
Solid performance but he’s still so one dimensional. Once he breaks out a right foot he’ll go from man to monster.
Very involved today, especially first half. Getting into dangerous positions and could have scored a couple. Glad he got an assist for Weighurst, hopefully he kicks on.
He spoke a bit about wanting to give more pre game and thought that was a good performance and another day he probably scores too.
Hopefully this second half of the season sees him shine

I was glad to see Antony being more direct tonight. Went at his man a few times and actually won the individual duels. Needs to do it more and have more belief with it too. Even when he went by his guy he was looking to check back.
Solid game
Good game and finally has an assist 
...that does count as an official assist right?

More direct, more involved, more all over the final third. Good game.
He only needs to add just a little bit more end product to be a really top player for us. The way he is able to carry the ball forward and almost never give it away is being seriously under-valued by his critics.
And that’s without even getting into his defensive graft.

When it all clicks consistently, he'll be fantastic. You can see he's got all the tools.
Why any of us would make a definitive judgment after so few games of a young player new to a more demanding league I have no idea. That said, he showed signs today that he's taken the criticism on board and is working on any perceived deficiencies. The short-termism of modern football is beyond frustrating, so let's wait and see. I saw good things from him today, and that's all I can say.
There were people who doubted Varane and Casemiro.
SO I'm not surprised there are some who doubt Antony.

Miles better mainly mentality wise where he looked to move around and get involved a bit more than just the standard cut inside and shoot from range or pass back.
Unlucky not to score. Thought that was a good attempt to slide it back across the keeper

The victory lap of some here after one good game is pretty laughable 
"you doubted him, he has all the tools!".
"you doubted him, he has all the tools!".The shit that has been flung at him is the worst I've ever seen a player for United get in terms of how hasty it has been. Just insane stuff after literally 20 games. Bizarre.

Yup its pretty reminiscent of Ole fanboys after a 4-0 smashing of Norwich
Does he get his first assist tonight for Weghorst's goal?
Victory lap? Of enjoying a good performance in a semi final after a relentless wave of negativity aimed in his direction? What a joy you are.The victory lap of some here after one good game is pretty laughable
You could tell, he wanted to score fast in first 30 minutes. As long as he tries, he'll definitely find gaps to send more curlers into the net.
I like the little passion merchant.

What an annoying post. We can't compliment him when he's had a good game? Get a grip.
Because it's the internet and being a keyboard warrior is easy

I think it's pretty laughable you care so much about a United player.

You seem to have a weird hate boner for Antony my dude. I will say though this forum is absolutely ridiculous in terms of knee jerk reactions
I have absolutely nothing against people enjoying his good games, as I have nothing people who say he had a bad game (actually 10 of them but whatever).
Having any definitive opinon is a different thing though, and claiming that "he'll be so great" or "you doubted him, see!" is as absurd as claiming he'll never be more than a 15M player.

You do understand the concept of a performance thread? It’s for people to discuss his performance. Which was good. Hence the praise. It’s a simple concept.
Much better when he leaves the line from time to time.
Played well. More like this please. Almost had an assist
A much better performance from Antony. Decent shot forced save that fell to Weghorst to score. Early attempt wide was reasonably close. Next shot off-target wasn't great. Might have done better with his big chance from Fernandes' pass but not easy to predict how the keeper will behave. Another shot saved in the first half. Pass to Weghorst forced him wider than ideal, for shot that was blocked. Also provided pass to Eriksen for shot that hit the bar and moments later, Rashford's shot from distance that was saved. One poor touch to lose possession that I noticed. Overall, a threat.

I have absolutely no hate boner for Antony, you can look at my posting history, not once did I came back here to say "I told you so" after a bad game, or had any definitive opinion about him. I just called it as I saw it, and unfortunately for a couple of months it was far more negative that postive analysis. Sorry if you can't handle an objective commentary.
He was good tonight, more of the same in Saturday please
Congratulations on coming into a thread minutes after we get to a final to piss all over the bonfire. Weird moves.
Reasonably good tonight. I think that should be more like his baseline performance though.
Please don't pretend that you didn't understand I obviously didn't refer to posters who only commented about his performance today.
In Fantasy he gets one but in real football no that doesn't count I'm afraid.
He definitely looks like a player who will score plenty goals but I'm yet to see the creative side. Hopefully it will come.
Slipped Weghorst in for a good chance at one point.
I was actually coming to this thread because of the notifications to say he had a good games, but the "Some doubted Casemiro and Varane!" kind of posts triggered me.
Very good tonight, I actually feel he has been pretty decent all round so far.
Could he be better? Sure, but again, he's in a new team, new league etc, and he's contributing with goals.

He looked better tonight. Something to build on. The next few games are easier than the previous few. I expect to see him getting goals and assists. He’s got the potential to be a scary player if he mixes it up a bit and finds his groove with the end product. I’m happy it’ll come together and we will have one of the best RW in the league.
