I really don’t like him. He’s good for the occasional banger but other than that, he does nothing.
 
I've watched enough of him to say he's unlikely to make it here. There is never, ever in a million years a €100m player in him.
 
Can he cross? Seems like he had a few good chances to cross. He just likes to play it short, pass and move. It's effective to progress with the ball and keep the ball, but that's pretty much all that he's got.
 
He was about to score a banger with that dink, but other than that he was so anonymous. Like, Sancho is 3 times the player he is, can we get him back plz
 
He just doesn't look very good. It's not even a case where the talent is clear and you're just waiting for it to be unleashed. He looks very average, quite meek, poor decision-making. Sick and tired of seeing him underhit passes with the outside of his boot because he refuses to use his right leg.

He's a terribly frustrating player and has no business starting ahead of Garnacho and Pellestri. Don't feel confident at all about this signing coming good.
 
As with every transfer to United, I'm not gonna say he's not gonna make it until they've played here for some time, but why didn't we go for Michael Olise? He is already better and has a £50m release clause. He's even younger than Antony as well.
 
His form is very worrying , offers little to nothing when he is on. On this form surely he can;t be a stater for much longer.
 
so, you're telling me you are spending 100M on a winger who won't try to dribble plast one player either to get to the inside and help the right back to have space or get a good chance to make a good cross? And I'm not saying he doesn't have to do it all the time, watch the game again and see how many times he didn't even try once. If he lost the ball trying it can be normal, it even happens to prime Messi. The problem is the lack of determination, because he has the skill to do it. No one is expecting him to be prime Neymar, but if you wanna compete you need to at least try to break the defense. Even Grealish did it against Dalot ffs.

People are saving him for turning on when game was already lost and city slowed down? That's being a popcorn fan.


Nothing has changed since october.
 
He was better at the start of the season, had more intensity and belief. Seems to have lost confidence.
 
He has a goal in him and works hard, but he doesn't contribute to our attacking play at all. He doesn't take on players, an rarely manages to put a decent pass or cross. I'm sure ETH appreciates his work rate, but he's been piss poor for a while now and should be dropped.
 
When you have players like him in your front three, it shouldn't be a surprise that we struggle to score goals. He offers no more than Dan James did from a creativity and goal scoring point of view.

We're fecked unless Sancho can regain some form.
 
He's so one footed and the sad thing is, it's not as if that one foot is that good in the first place :lol:
 
I don't think he was even that bad tonight.
 
Antony will do nothing, get subbed off after 60 minutes

He’s just so predictably not good enough.

Just isn’t cut out for PL football. Him & Sancho have the exact same weaknesses. Slow, weak, can’t beat a man, no creativity. £160 million down the drain on the pair of them.
 
His shots are what bothers me the most!! Most of them are so way off the mark you wonder if he even practice shooting in training..
 
His crossing and passing are championship-level, can't beat anyone. He really can score with his left, but that's all he has.

Here's the thing. He doesn't have the skillset to do it. I don't know how people have convinced themselves he's a good dribbler when the eye test says contrary. Technically he's horrible when he's moving with the ball at his feet
 
He is the most unimaginative Brazilian winger I've seen....

Where are my rainbow flicks and flipflaps??? -____-

No I do not want to see you swivel 360 on the spot again.
 
Receive the ball - crab walk - pass the ball back. Score the occasional goal. That will be a €100M. I'm never living this down. Could have gone for Olise or someone else and have some left for a striker.
 
We have Pellistri. Looked better in his 20 minute cameo recently than Antony has at any point this season.

Doesn't look like ETH trusts Pellistri tbh. He'd rather play an exhausted Bruno on the right.
 
One footed, no real pace or skill to beat defenders. Has one way of playing and doesn't like to cross.

I hope he isn't ETHs blind spot.
 
So one footed it stands out in games with his decision making and is a liability. Easy to defend against for any fullback worth his salt. If your that one footed you need to be Arjen Robben level otherwise your not going to make it in a top 4 pl team.
 
There's way more potential in Sancho. He can't go past a man at all and hisdecision making and passing is shit most of the time.
 
Not impressed with him, the lack of using his right foot does drive you nuts. But will give him time. He needs competition for that right wing slot.

I have no doubt that once we see mudryk play for chelsea, we'll all be saying we bought the wrong €100mil winger....
 
We should enforce a ban on spending over 60 million or so on a single player :wenger:
 
I’m going to call a spade a spade on this one. He’s not good enough. Hasn’t created a single chance all season. That’s abysmal.
 
Pretty one dimensional, yet nowhere near quick enough or strong enough to get the better of his man consistently. He is simply not going to be good enough for the Premier League.

His 1st touch is deceptive. It's sometimes wordclass, and the he starts pushing the ball and he instantly looks bang average. The a half circle and a back pass.

Can't argue with you about skills.
