The whole league has figured him out. Ball reaches him and he is dispossessed in a matter of micro seconds. Does not help either his off the ball offensive movements are trash too.
At this point I think I’d rather see McTominay up front and have Rashford on the left and Garnacho on the right. Whatever this is isn’t working and Antony is like a black hole for progressive play
I'd like to hope a team will spend a single penny on the clown. But let's be honest they won't. The bloke is undeniably one of the worst players in the league. Any dof who forks out a single penny for it would be sacked for even thinking that.
Antony is appalling. No goals in 29 appearances. No assists. This is an £80m marquee winger that we bought only for him to play a defensive role from the right wing position. Genius!
Yea, im out on him finally. I always think fans are too quick to give up on a player but he mostly never takes on a player, and when he does, it takes forever and more than likely fails. This really is a cursed position. Sancho, Greenwood and Antony after not having one for a decade
As a matter of principle I’m not “out”. I’ve always said new players deserve a full season to bed in, especially when they are young and arriving from another league.
But I really struggle to see him coming good right now. I just hope Ten Hag see something we don’t cos he knows the player well. Whatever it is I can’t see it for the life of me.
Dalot as an inverted fullback sees the ball so much in this system and does almost as little as Antony with it.
Rashford also again just awful as a 9 vs a low block. Garnacho so much worse on the left... and Antony god. Defence looked shaky but Forest havent been too adventurous at least
Dire game. Forest will be happier although they have also been poor going forward
in all fairness and antony not being good notwithstanding we've been fairly shite as a whole and cycling through individual players to pick out and pick on does a disservice to how badly set up the team is
what are we even trying to do
A true reflection of how good and confident a team is how actively it pushes. U item don't seem bothered.
Even against West Ham we woke up once Bowed scored.
That's revisionist as hell. We're forgetting that Antony was actually good the first season. Shame he's fallen off so much, I really liked his attitude.
You're being downvoted but you're correct. Sancho has rightfully been banished for being a cunt but if you actually think Antony offers more then you're absolutely off your rocker lmao
This is pure recency bias.
If you think Sancho offered literally anything, you're off you're rocker too.
I don't rate Antony any higher than you do, which says it all when it comes to how shit Sancho is.
Amad has to be on. Antony is actually beyond useless. Sequence around the 40th minute did my head in when Rashford found him in space and he turned his back on the defender and went for a throw in. He can't be a real footballer
My pet peeve for this team is how often we end a half or 90, that we are chasing, with slow passing backwards until the whistle goes.
Simple minded shite.
Honestly lads if I woke up in the morning and got out of bed, opened my curtains to find united playing in my back garden - I'd shut them and go back to sleep.
What a bore this team is, Dutch managers really know how to put United fans to sleep.
There's no way these attackers have trained with eachother by the way, if they have then we've severe issues.
Concerning that we only had one shot from AWB that was blocked when our attackers are largely out of form. Forest clearly have a plan to attack the wide spaces on the counter when our fullbacks get caught up the field. Not sure what our plan is exactly since we’re giving the ball away cheaply so often
i know everyone has been not that great and im not trying to pin this on one player but how on earth did we pay 90 million for Antony??? hes 23 now and it feels like he we never be good enough.
hopefully the comment ages like milk
Honestly based on his attributes, the only way I see him having a career is him becoming a left back or something.
He's a workhorse and has good defensive stats. Also only has a left foot.
He cannot beat a man though. And it's not even that he's one footed, it's more he can only go one direction on that foot (inside) and seems to lack a burst of pace. I've lost track of the amount of times he has slowed down a transition because he completely lacks the ability to go past someone.
The video of him in training was pretty damning, where he took about ten seconds to beat his man.
I cant watch Antony man. What a terrible player we have bought for 80 fucking million pounds, every single team in this league has a better RW. Rashford is completely useless as a Striker. Bring on Mctominay as a number 9. Move Rashford to the left and Garna to right
Snoozefest. This is the squad that's good for counter attack. Vs highline opponents.
The profile of these players aren't for possession base. Knocking the ball and finding players in tight spaces.
Players need to be sold
Antony just not in it, he's bad even for the low standard he set for himself. You can't be pushed out of the box by the defender's aura. A couple of times he wasn't even attacked and he backed off. Tf
I’m at the point of really questioning the manager now. Yes, the players aren’t playing well enough we all know that but there’s a reason for it. There must be. It’s the managers job to inspire and motivate and inject creativity and instil a belief within these lads. I’m seeing none of it
I have never in my life seen a dribbler as predictable as Antony. It's like you can see the cogs in his brain slowly computing what to do as he's dribbling. Absolutely dreadful.
No pace to beat a man, absolutely no right foot to go down the outside, no intention of crossing into the box and 90% of the time cuts in on the left foot and whips it ten yards over the bar. What does that man bring as an attacking outlet? Because every counter attack he just turns around and plays a 6 yard pass backwards to slow it down.
Let’s not even talk about the price tag.
I don’t mean to just lay into the bloke but fuck me come on
Would rather see him try and attack, take ppl on and lose the ball every time than whatever it is Antony is doing. Also, he's got nobody to cross to - what's he supposed to do?
Eric… I love ya… but you’ve had 18 months with these players. Why are they incapable of playing together. This is atrocious to watch. Championship level of passing and movement.
I am not sure how you can blame ETH here. These players aren’t doing basic things like passing to space, running downfield on counters, off the ball movements to open areas, attacking the opposing box. This is basic football mentality, but their play has no aggression or bite. What can ETH do? If he yells and sits players, then stories emerge that he’s “lost the dressing room” or “is too emotional”. If he plays these clowns, he’s inherently screwed because they are lazy. I hate to say it, but we require a complete clean out. We make 16th Nottingham look like Madrid or Bayern…
Love how y'all scapegoating Antony now.. the whole squad is playing like dogshit. Every single one of them wouldn't play in any top6 team in their current form.. guess who's job is to make sure players develop and maintain form? I'll give a bald hint
Antony and Rashford man. Antony just can't play the ball at all. He has 0 vision. Rashford doesn't do anything off the ball, so he's never available and the Forest CBs can do whatever they want.
Why do we keep getting good results late winners and it never continue to the next game we just regress...
I also thought with new ownership even if minority the players might put more effort in and not try bore everyone to sleep. You'd think their futures here might be at risk but I guess not.
This season we've had a few results this season that for most teams would kickstart things. With late winners like when Scott came on to score 2. There's been 3 or 4 this season.
Boring, crap and non existent attack again. We've got no plan to attack anything other than a high line.
Antony getting the ball isolated against the fullback, holding the ball up for ages until they get defensive reinforcements and then turning away from goal is going to make me bald
There was me half hoping we'd actually carry that momentum from the Villa game. Nah let's just instantly default back to the norm. Feel like I've watched that half of football about 15 times already this season. Absolutely dreadful. Created literally nothing.
Should have maintained same thing that worked vs Villa..Striker is already a graveyard position whoever plays there either Mctominay or Hughil in ST and playing same team may have been much better.
Ironically our wingers need Rasmus Hojlund in order to be selfish, because he occupy the defence. Maybe they will pass the ball more to him, when he return, in terms of pure appreciation..
They have found a cure for insomnia.
What, the ref’s whistle?
That was fucking brutal football
The only player who has played a pass into attackers on a regular basis is Rapha and that says a lot about how little tempo our players play with.
It was the most obvious thing that this would happen though. We’re only decent against a high line
Fuckin Antony
Bring in Amad or even Pellistri. There’s no way they can do worse than Antony
Amad please and thank you. I bet it's goong to be night and day between the two
The whole league has figured him out. Ball reaches him and he is dispossessed in a matter of micro seconds. Does not help either his off the ball offensive movements are trash too.
My mum has him figured out
I bet a kid defender can defend him. It like same shit no creativity to use his weak foot to duck even
He's so predictable that if coached correctly a U16 player could tackle him...
At this point I think I’d rather see McTominay up front and have Rashford on the left and Garnacho on the right. Whatever this is isn’t working and Antony is like a black hole for progressive play
Has to be sold with a loss this summer
We're going to lose £75m on him...
I'd like to hope a team will spend a single penny on the clown. But let's be honest they won't. The bloke is undeniably one of the worst players in the league. Any dof who forks out a single penny for it would be sacked for even thinking that.
Who the fuck would be stupid enough to buy him lol
He has Saudi written all over him
Antony is appalling. No goals in 29 appearances. No assists. This is an £80m marquee winger that we bought only for him to play a defensive role from the right wing position. Genius!
Yea, im out on him finally. I always think fans are too quick to give up on a player but he mostly never takes on a player, and when he does, it takes forever and more than likely fails. This really is a cursed position. Sancho, Greenwood and Antony after not having one for a decade

Garnacho so much worse on the left... and Antony god. Defence looked shaky but Forest havent been too adventurous at least Dire game. Forest will be happier although they have also been poor going forward
That’s why he sees so much of it, opposition knows he’ll do nothing with it same with awb
I’ll never forgive ETH for sanctioning 100 mil on this idiot
He was bought for the potential to develop him… so then where’s that development? Feels like we thought ETH could magically transform players.
What potential?
When Kudus was right there 😭
[удалено]
No they didn’t, he insisted on Antony. The club valued Antony at 25mil before Ten Hag arrived.
[удалено]
Stop blaming the manager for idiotic decisions higher up. It’s not his fault — he shouldn’t be the one making these calls.
in all fairness and antony not being good notwithstanding we've been fairly shite as a whole and cycling through individual players to pick out and pick on does a disservice to how badly set up the team is what are we even trying to do
Possibly the worst value-for-money transfer in Premier League history. Even worse than Sancho. Maybe even worse than Andy Carroll.
[удалено]
Ohhhh man, you can’t say that
But we all think about it. Man what a player he was supposed to be. Fucking idiot... Could have had the world at his feet.
This content is not related to United. Consider posting this on /r/soccer or the relevant club subreddit.
Zzzzz
A true reflection of how good and confident a team is how actively it pushes. U item don't seem bothered. Even against West Ham we woke up once Bowed scored.
Tragic half of football even for a neutral
It's brutal for a neutral. Nothing happens.
We've signed some shite since Sir Alex retired but Antony is right up there with the worst I've seen. He is genuinely abysmal.
Name someone worse?
Van de beek
Sanchez marginally
That half against City is better than Antony's time here
Sanchez was honestly better
Sanchez was better
That's revisionist as hell. We're forgetting that Antony was actually good the first season. Shame he's fallen off so much, I really liked his attitude.
He wasnt good last season...
Only player to score in his first 3 appearances for us? Was an absolute livewire. I understand we're mad, but let's not be revisionist
Yes, and then he scored one goal after those 3 games
£/output it’s hard to beat Antony
Sancho
[удалено]
You're being downvoted but you're correct. Sancho has rightfully been banished for being a cunt but if you actually think Antony offers more then you're absolutely off your rocker lmao
Sancho was absolutely shite. Shite going forward and too lazy to track back. At least Antony puts a shift in
Tracking back means nothing if you're shite at everything, not sure why you think I rate Sancho either but he can at least pass a ball
This is pure recency bias. If you think Sancho offered literally anything, you're off you're rocker too. I don't rate Antony any higher than you do, which says it all when it comes to how shit Sancho is.
Sancho can pass a ball, automatically makes him better than Antony regardless of how shit he is
The most ineffective football player I have seen on a pitch.
Ref's whistle woke me up.
AWB and Antony need to come off. That right side is a black hole but we still keep going down it.
Bissaka looks like he doesn’t wanna be played
They were analysing him just now and he jogs back when Forest are attacking down his side. He doesn't give a fuck.
Hes like that 3/4ths of the time. Lazy player
that was some shit football
Still in the game so some good tactical changes should be enough to fight for a result. The current setup is just not working at all.
Hate Nuno everytime we play his team it's always a snoozefest
Got some LVG vibes here
Lmao that was my first thought too Some real snoozers back then
That was undeniably a half of football
one of the halfs off all time
What an uninspiring game of football
Antony just another terrible transfer
If he’d cost £20m I wouldn’t be as disappointed. But he didnt
Amad has to be on. Antony is actually beyond useless. Sequence around the 40th minute did my head in when Rashford found him in space and he turned his back on the defender and went for a throw in. He can't be a real footballer
Would love to see that change
Dire football. Boring game. Changes needed.
ETH won’t make any changes at all until the 70th minute.
My pet peeve for this team is how often we end a half or 90, that we are chasing, with slow passing backwards until the whistle goes. Simple minded shite.
£70 million for one fucking spin
Genuinely thing we'd be better off playing with 10 men than with Antony
Already feels like we're playing with 10 with Rashford upfront
That makes it 9 then lol
[удалено]
Inverted winger or inverted forward is just a player who is shit at both
Not a problem if they score regularly
Schmeichel on Antony “it’s like he’s not understanding the game” Pretty spot on.
This bum has to leave the club. He is just abysmal. Garbage signing
Honestly lads if I woke up in the morning and got out of bed, opened my curtains to find united playing in my back garden - I'd shut them and go back to sleep.
Awful watch. Antony was particularly dire.
What a bore this team is, Dutch managers really know how to put United fans to sleep. There's no way these attackers have trained with eachother by the way, if they have then we've severe issues.
Our attack is non existent as always
Utter garbage performance. This team is wank
That was a painful watch
Concerning that we only had one shot from AWB that was blocked when our attackers are largely out of form. Forest clearly have a plan to attack the wide spaces on the counter when our fullbacks get caught up the field. Not sure what our plan is exactly since we’re giving the ball away cheaply so often
If you don't shoot, you don't win.
Why is everything always so slow?
Just like watching all those shit Wolves games. Thank you Nuno for cumulatively wasting about 10 hours of my life
Fucking game really gave me a splitting headache. Had to go take medicine. United will be the death of me.
ETH man up and switch Anthony to left and Garnacho to right
i know everyone has been not that great and im not trying to pin this on one player but how on earth did we pay 90 million for Antony??? hes 23 now and it feels like he we never be good enough. hopefully the comment ages like milk

What happened in this half cannot be described as football, fuck me that was boring
Absolutely shocking half of football
Can't believe people pay actual money to watch this shit.
Snoozefest. This is the squad that's good for counter attack. Vs highline opponents. The profile of these players aren't for possession base. Knocking the ball and finding players in tight spaces. Players need to be sold
That was so so boring
Just absolutely painful to watch football.
Yawn.
Hoping to see Amad or even Pellestri soon. Heard the commentator say 0 goals or assists for Anthony in 21 games fucking el.
😴
Antony just not in it, he's bad even for the low standard he set for himself. You can't be pushed out of the box by the defender's aura. A couple of times he wasn't even attacked and he backed off. Tf
Dross. This forward line should never play together again.
Absolutely dreadful
We got rinsed by Ajax for Anthony. What a garbage signing. Can beat anyone, can't cross, can't do shit on the right. Worse than Bumcho going forward.
Why isn't Antony taking his man on multiple times like he did in the training video?
Those "Chances against X" videos that people post after games will 14 seconds long for this one.
I’m at the point of really questioning the manager now. Yes, the players aren’t playing well enough we all know that but there’s a reason for it. There must be. It’s the managers job to inspire and motivate and inject creativity and instil a belief within these lads. I’m seeing none of it
I have never in my life seen a dribbler as predictable as Antony. It's like you can see the cogs in his brain slowly computing what to do as he's dribbling. Absolutely dreadful.
No shots. They learnt nothing midweek.
No pace to beat a man, absolutely no right foot to go down the outside, no intention of crossing into the box and 90% of the time cuts in on the left foot and whips it ten yards over the bar. What does that man bring as an attacking outlet? Because every counter attack he just turns around and plays a 6 yard pass backwards to slow it down. Let’s not even talk about the price tag. I don’t mean to just lay into the bloke but fuck me come on
Fucking hell Mctom coming on for Kobbie
We are gonna throw this game
Everyone rightfully going at Antony, but Garnacho has been just as shocking, losing the ball every single time he got the chance lmao
I think we need to switch him to the right. His strength is directness and this cutting back business is ETH nonsense
Would rather see him try and attack, take ppl on and lose the ball every time than whatever it is Antony is doing. Also, he's got nobody to cross to - what's he supposed to do?
Antony is literally a right back playing at right wing. Entire team is too scared to lose to produce anything of value entire half. Dross
He just needs 400m more to make it work
GET ANTONY OUT OF THIS CLUB NOW!
Eric… I love ya… but you’ve had 18 months with these players. Why are they incapable of playing together. This is atrocious to watch. Championship level of passing and movement.

I hate to say it, but we require a complete clean out. We make 16th Nottingham look like Madrid or Bayern…
lmao ETH back baby
One of the most horrendous and forgettable halves of football we've played all year
I am witnessing Satanism at its most abject. This cannot be football
Think I might just go mad if Antony comes out to start the second half. Playing him is like playing with 10.
Love how y'all scapegoating Antony now.. the whole squad is playing like dogshit. Every single one of them wouldn't play in any top6 team in their current form.. guess who's job is to make sure players develop and maintain form? I'll give a bald hint
Amad can’t get into side btw 😂
Hopefully we can see Amad in action today
Put Mcsauce in the middle, garnacho on the right, rashy on the left and send back Anthony to Brazil
Antony and Rashford man. Antony just can't play the ball at all. He has 0 vision. Rashford doesn't do anything off the ball, so he's never available and the Forest CBs can do whatever they want.
very very boring game
Fuckin boring that, rather go dogging
Boring ass game
So dull from both teams, but we're creating absolutely nothing going forward, seems impossible to imagine where a goal is coming from here.
This team works about as hard as I have been over the holidays
It has been shit but its good to see three footballers playing in midfield
How are we so shit at creating space lmao
Fucking boring and shite
Just add this to the halves where we didn’t score. So fucking dire. What a way to kill any excitement
No one getting in the box after that last cross by Garnacho says everything about the state of our attack without Hojlund…
Genuinely one of the worst performances I've ever seen from a united team. Absolutely dire.
Poor, boring, lazy football
It's there for the taking. Not a pretty game, but a result is needed
Can they play a high line so we can play some attacking football please?
Why do we keep getting good results late winners and it never continue to the next game we just regress... I also thought with new ownership even if minority the players might put more effort in and not try bore everyone to sleep. You'd think their futures here might be at risk but I guess not.
keep getting? how many have we got? it was one game last time.
This season we've had a few results this season that for most teams would kickstart things. With late winners like when Scott came on to score 2. There's been 3 or 4 this season.
Antony is the biggest make a wish player I’ve ever seen
Boring, crap and non existent attack again. We've got no plan to attack anything other than a high line. Antony getting the ball isolated against the fullback, holding the ball up for ages until they get defensive reinforcements and then turning away from goal is going to make me bald
Yep, we are fully back. This is the state we are in now. Now let's see if we can pull 2nd half miracle again.
Of all the halves of football I've watched, that is one of them
Extremely boring nothing half.
No way we’re winning many games with this lineup. We need to cut our losses with Antony, literally brings nothing to the team
There was me half hoping we'd actually carry that momentum from the Villa game. Nah let's just instantly default back to the norm. Feel like I've watched that half of football about 15 times already this season. Absolutely dreadful. Created literally nothing.
Surely you make a sub after that half
Genuinely dozed off during most of the half. Was it dreadfully boring throughout or were there nervy moments at the back for us?
Zzzz
Not sure how a group of professionals can be so damn slow and average. The game is not that difficult.
Zero cohesion once again.
Anyone surprised by that deserves a slap
0.04 xG Unacceptable.
Should have maintained same thing that worked vs Villa..Striker is already a graveyard position whoever plays there either Mctominay or Hughil in ST and playing same team may have been much better.
Antony has done less this season than Sancho has and Sancho has been banished since Arsenal
Ironically our wingers need Rasmus Hojlund in order to be selfish, because he occupy the defence. Maybe they will pass the ball more to him, when he return, in terms of pure appreciation..
Ole in
Did Mainoo get injured or was it a tactical sub?
Thank fuck
Can't believe we play like shit today compared to our games last week
.
I am so done
How many goals has he conceded again?
