It's not under threat in the slightest mate, but agree he was poor at times today
Antony will play left, and Sancho right. But everyone will get plenty of games regardless of form, as we don't have the players.

It's not under threat in the slightest mate, but agree he was poor at times today

Has he been subbed three quarters in in every match he's started this season? ETH been asked if it's his fitness or something else?
Wait Antony is now a LW? Surely it's the other way around?
Took his goal nicely and did look like he tried to press until he quite obviously gassed late 1st half which is a huge worry. Probably a 6/10 hopefully he can replicate it against Arsenal this weekend and more.
He runs out of gas but honestly so does Rashford. Maybe we really do need the asthma inhalers that Pep and Klopp have to be full go for 90 min...
Completely the opposite.
I don’t really think we can fully judge our wide attackers until they play with a striker who can hold the ball and bring them into the game better. At the moment we still aren’t getting enough possession around the opposition box and that’s mainly because Rashford simply has some of the worst back to goal hold up in the entire league. He looked a different player connecting with Martial and I think alongside Antony that will be transformative to this attack.

And the calmest in general. At least with him I can trust to keep the ball and not give it away needlessly. I can't say the same with the other 2 who are almost automatic possession losses.
Antony will go right, Sancho will stick to left and once Martial returns he'll play as CF. Rashford to the bench, at least that's the ideal scenario.
Got that mixed up mate. Antony is RW by trade.
I think we've got a problem. He doesn't look comfortable on the left and we've just spunked £85m on a RW
Probably going against the grain here but I thought he looked lazy today and didn’t have a great match outside of his goal. Was strolling around a lot.
Hopefully he’s more up for the next game.

I hope your wife is okay
He’s got a good first touch and his passing is more often than not on the money. Can finish too as evidenced so far this season. What worries me slightly is his apparent lack of pace, reluctance to go for 50/50 balls or chase even slightly over hit passes.
Maybe once there’s more competition for places he’ll show more.
Still miles ahead of Elanga, Rashford and Martial though.

Antony is a RW so, yes, Sancho’s place is directly under threat. Agree though, they will all rotate a lot, as looks like Rashford may have to cover at CF a fair amount.
yeah wrong way around, sorry
I genuinely can't recall a single thing he did today apart from score a goal.
But when your are scoring a goal and that goal is the winning goal, then who cares.

The match winner, of course, but the man is still gathering his mojo.
He did contribute to defending quite a bit, and helping Malacia.
Overall, I think we just need to get more control of games, so we can push up the pitch for longer periods of time. He is a good technical dribbler that I think will have a far greater impact if he can just be in possession near/in the opposition box on a more regular basis. Defenders seem to be scared of tackling him then.
I don't think we will see the absolute best of him until this happens. He has shown glimpses of what he is capable of, though. Looks a good finisher, also.
Finally beginning to show his worth as a top class player. Incredibly skilful player. Hope to see Sancho in the World Cup.
Such a weird sentence
He had better output on the left than right at Dortmund, didn't he?
Hard to see that being the case if he was uncomfortable with it. He can play either, it's not a big problem to him. The problem today is he fades in the game, which has been standard no matter where he goes.
His best form last season also came from the left. He's beyond comfortable playing there
It’s too bad he’s only scored 5 goals but there will be plenty more to come. I can see him netting 15 goals this season.
Sancho's style is similar to Messi, where he is capable of finding space and transiting attacks with intelligent movement, but the players need to be on the same wavelength as him. He is probably more useful as a false nine or as a attacking midfielder rather than a winger that needs to press.
He is good playing on the left since he can dribble and cut in very well, but it requires better movement from Rashford and the central midfielders to utilize Sancho's intelligent movement.

Martial
Yes Martial's movement and hold up play is very good. Ronaldo is also capable of bring Sancho into play due to his "distracting" movement but Ronaldo needs to work on his decision making in the final third. He tends to shoot instinctively.
More likely that he wants him to be rested for Arsenal. We don't have many goal scoring attackers, so it's important we rotate to keep players fresh.
Personally I think he's better on the LW where he can come inside and play one-twos or get into goalscoring positions. I said I think he is more of a goal threat from LW and he's got another last night.
Overall he's just not quite there yet though. In pre season I thought he was showing signs but he's just not getting as involved in games now and he's not playing with the bit between his teeth.
I think he'll get dropped initially when Antony comes in, with Rashford playing LW. ETH seems to play the latter as much as possible for his pace on the counter. Usually Sancho is subbed for Ronaldo with Rashford moving to LW and looking to get Rashford in behind from Ronaldo flick ons.
It's a shame because Sancho is far more talented than Rashford but he's just not showing it enough. I was one of the posters pushing for us to sign him for ages and was convinced he'd be a star, but I've felt a bit underwhelmed so far. I know he can do it but he's just not at the moment.

Who is attacking your wife!?
This in a nutshell
r/oneSentenceHorror
Hed be even better if play with a proper striker and when we have casemiro in DM like last night. He needs players to be closer to him and the opponents box because we know that hes not really a winger with pace to burn. Hes more of a wide attackers and last night most time we dont really push up and play around their box that much, not until Casemiro and Ronaldo came in and we some of the interchanging passes and fluid play then Sancho will be better.
Can you all just leave my wife alone…sheesh
Anthony has never played at left. There is no chance we paid £81m to play him out of position.
Sancho has played at left a lot though and will most likely just move there. He’s probably our best attacker right now though the bar is not high at all.

Eh? Antony is a right winger.
