People go on about him needing to work on his right foot and whatnot but I'd suggest he needs to learn how to use his left one first, because it's £#%&!ing rubbish.
The vast majority of all his shots and crosses are not just bad, they're way, way off the mark. He is such a poor striker of the ball. It often takes him too long to sort his feet out, then he is scooping and shoveling the ball at the intended target - just awful. Fair enough - he works hard and always takes the ball and is always trying things, but if his attempts are largely shite and kill our attacks stone dead, I'd argue that it would be better not to give him the ball at all. His output per attempts ratio is pathetic, tbh. I'm all for breaking eggs but his attempts are so many and successes so few that the law of averages cannot be ruled out as a reason for them. I mean, you'd like to think that his numbers would simply improve with age and hard work, but the talent has to be there and I just don't see it in him. If it's there, he hasn't shown it. I would much rather see us blood Pellistri and Diallo and take a hit on immediate results. Let Antony get wound up by being dropped. See if it helps. |

The way people go on about Antony is genuinely unbelievable. He had a much better first season than Sancho yet Sanho was barely criticised. I like both players for the record and i think both need to do more from an attacking POV but their striker options have been martial and Weghorst ffs |

He needs to learn to make much better decisions, that curling left foot shot every time is way too predictable. It's also pathetic that a player can reach pro level with only one foot, I only played Sunday league but I practiced enough to be decent on my weaker foot.
Having said that, he definitely has the ability and works hard for the team. The price tag isn't his fault, at 30-40m he'd be an excellent signing. Hopefully having a proper striker up front will transform his game. |

Absolutely ridiculous thing to slate him for, he also scored with his right last season ... |

At least we might get some crosses in. |

It’s absolutely right to demand more from him. He’s miles off the standard and has to start doing better. He hasn’t had a run of games where he’s been influential, or even a run where you could say he got the better of his fullback but he starts every week. Like it or not we are going to look for a spark from our 100m pound winger and he’s repeatedly failed to provide it. His last prem goal was in April against Forest. Prior to that it was his 3rd game for the club in September. It’s piss poor. |

speaking as a centre forward, that is. the wingers need to graft for the striker, not seek glory. I like pellistri on the right. |
