Re: Michail Antonio
I love him he is like a better Carlton Cole, he is the perfect role model for youngsters, educated(degree), seems down to earth, has worked his way up the ladder and even looks like he is learning and working hard now while enjoying himself.

Re: Michail Antonio
The second he started to believe his own hype he became lazy and poor, thinks he's made it already.

Re: Michail Antonio
He's made a really poor decision today by putting that cross in. But lazy? Seriously?

Re: Michail Antonio
I don't think he's lazy.
I think he has no real idea where the ball should go. He's great at running the wing, good in the air, but give him the ball at his feet and ask him to do anything other than fire in a cross and he's lost. The final error was one of many today and all season where he gets in a good position then can't see or make the correct pass. Some of that is on him, some is evidence of poor coaching. Overall he could learn a lot from watching how Ayew sees passes and space.

He really was today. Didn't want to track back at all when he was up the field, Noble had a huge go at him after he didn't get a free kick in the corner so couldn't be bothered to track back.
He's lost that bit of an edge that he had to his game and it looks like he's not giving it his 100% which was what was made him so good to watch.

Re: Michail Antonio
He is an instinctive player which is what makes him dangerous going forwards, but he has no footballing sense which is why I don’t understand the calls for him to play wingback.
He has all the physical attributes, but few of the mental ones but then if he did he wouldn’t be play8ng for us.
Got to take the bad with the good.

Re: Michail Antonio
Sell him
Doesn't score any more, ideas above his station, constantly runs into blind alleys
I lost total respect for him with the total lack of application he put in when picked at RB.
Sorry mate you ain't bigger than the club or manager, you down right put 100% in wherever he picks you. Don't cry to the media how you should be playing midfield

He plays with his heart and his strength, they are his assets along with pace.The Green Man wrote:

He plays with instinct but has always made poor decisions when he stops to think.
He is not a natural, thats his problem.

Re: Michail Antonio
Those who think he plays with his heart and puts 100% effort in need to watch him off the ball nowadays rather than basing it on his rep.

/\ /\ This, I really don't get the love in for him. He did bust a gut when he first broke into the side, he certainly doesn't anymore. Not sure what he does do, other than lose possession and not chase back. Thinks he is way better than he is! I also lost it with him for his piss poor attitude when he was asked to play right back, I don't think he even gave 50% effort!

Re: Michail Antonio
Sell him!!!!!! :lol:
There's some pearler posts floating around right now. Give your heads a wobble for f*** sake!
Can't believe he's getting dogs abuse when the protagonist of the piece was Ogbonna who gifted them a way back in with some incredibly stupid although not surprised free kicks away and one of them leading to their crucial 1st. But no, let's focus on a sub coming on losing the ball high up the pitch.

Re: Michail Antonio
Having lost the ball his attitude was disgusting. From where I was sat he must of just about reached the halfway line with his light jog back when the ball went in. If you ain't prepared to do the hard yards you need to have ability like Ronaldo and he cretainly ain't got that. Bloke needs to learn the hard way, see you back in the first 11 in January with a better attitude.
Re: Michail Antonio
He has never had a footballing brain, he is a crap footballer but highly effective, massively well built athlete, that's not a dig at him, as so many of the Prem are like him, also ignoring today I really like him.
