Your post is bollocks
Another quality addition to the forum.
If you watched Antony in that first half and didn’t see sustained periods of good play then you’re an idiot.
Why did Dyche take off Godfrey?
Well he certainly had chances today. Playing against Ben Godfrey is about as easy as it gets for a right sided attacker. Antony's finishing seemed ok without being amazing and the shot just before half-time is becoming so predictable that opposing keepers are expecting it. Unfortunate to hit the post in the first half. There was one where he looked to be through but a lack of pace meant the defender got back to block I think. A couple of key passes. I suppose it was a good performance overall.
I'm still astonished that we haven't given Pellistri starts in the PL as Antony looks such a limited player.
By all accounts he may sign a new contract and then go out on loan to develop further. He’s not a write-off, yet.Why? He isn’t very good and has next to no chance of a future here.
Agree. They look like the best comboRead a lot of people mention that he performs better with Dalot or a more attacking Fullback but honestly I think his best performances have come with Bissaka and its clear to me they have some sort of relationship developing there.
RB+shoot clearly trusts Bissaka and it’s obvious Bissaka trusts him. They just seem to bring out the best in each other.
Apart from hitting the post? AWB should have buried the follow-up.He went outside in the box once did you guys see that!!!
He never looked like scoring any of his chances but kudos for anticipating the passes and running deep. If we had lost he would have been massacred but we won and he gets some decent comments as a result. That is football and especially that are football fans, this is how it works.
Last game he was our best attacking option, today he was our worst but we have to see the positives, he always shows himself, he doesn’t go into hiding.
He's long since entered the realm of 'most fans have already taken a side on him' which means that most fans will never be able to properly evaluate any of his performances.
Good today. Unlucky to be subbed, as he was on Wednesday
Weird. No substance? Today? Do you JUST mean no goals or assists?Disagree. I think you can easily evaluate his performances fairly. He's all style and no substance so far. He's a player that looks the part but ultimately doesn't deliver the goods.
That's why in mid April he has just 3 PL goals and 0 assists. That's the same as Fred.

That's an unfair comparison. We're not there yet, best wide forward in the world for last number of years, best in the league for the best team in the league. He was easily our biggest threat today. Sure he didn't convert and he should have. It doesn't negate what he did today. I was at it and he was the guy that impressed me the most. You can't have watched us the ladt few seasons and not value that kind of workrate.Call me crazy or a maverick but yeah I actually evaluate wide forwards / wingers on their output mainly. Hahaha.
He came off the pitch on 59 mins with no goals, no assists and no key passes that I can recall and played against a player so obviously not comfortable playing as fullback for 45 mins too.
Salah / Saka would have had a bag full today against Godfrey. That's the difference.

Of course. I just mean who's giving us more in that position at the moment? He's working his ass off. I'm hoping our attacking game, which is not clicking quite as a unit at the moment , will eventually. He's doing everything he can, I think.Don't think it's too much to ask for a player who cost us 84m to actually get goals and assists. His last PL contribution was in September.
Ben White, a CB who is playing RB, has more PL attacking returns this season than Antony.
Maybe it will all click into place suddenly for him. I hope it does. I'm not confident though.
To be honest him messing up that very easy pass to Rashford for an almost certain assist cost me more hair than his finishing.Everything aside from finishing was excellent. Horrible in front of the goal though.

Exactly, it's embarrassing the mental gymnastics some are performing to argue he is playing better than he isCall me crazy or a maverick but yeah I actually evaluate wide forwards / wingers on their output mainly. Hahaha.

If true that just shows how averagehe has been. There was no output today and he wasted great chances. If saka put out that performance it would be his worst of the seasonArguably his best game for us this season yet some of you still trying to find any angle to knock him down.
Fully agree here. That being said, I know for a fact, that I personally have big issues with him due to the way we brought him in. I know it's kinda unfair but it is what it is. I'd say since two or three games he is playing a bit better than earlier this season, has a bit more of a go at his defenders. This shouldn't be a crown to him though - I see many fans wanting to give him for it. Trying his best should be the base level.Disagree. I think you can easily evaluate his performances fairly.

Hopefully thats not the case and some stuff is about to be unlocked in the future. Because being dilligent with little output was available to us with Dan James just as well. Really hope ETH and the staff is working with him to undo parts of his one-footed-ness which is making him pretty predictable. I'll give him that he is useful when there is space to run into. But that group of players is big.Of course. I just mean who's giving us more in that position at the moment? He's working his ass off.

Your fault for giving Danny Murphy a listenDanny Murphy described Antony and Rashford as two of the quickest players in the league.
I still don’t know if Antony is quick or not.
Should have scored at least 1.
Under-hit the pass to Rashford too which allowed Iwobi(I think it was) to catch up to him.
Played well. Still think we got absolutely mugged for the price.
