The College Dropout Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I’ve seen Grealish electrify in the PL. not seen it from Sancho or Antony. I’ve seen talent and ability from Sancho though. Antony is a 40m player TOPS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Ten Haag obviously felt like Antony was worth pursuing if they spent that much on him. He has unfortunately been poor for now, but even comparing Gordon to Antony and Sancho is crazy to me. That’s not saying Gordon mightn’t become a great signing, but as of what they’ve shown until now in their careers Antony and Sancho are ahead, and far ahead, in my personal opinion.

mighty__mag Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Seemed to be focused on winning the ball back and getting up the field quickly. I like the fact Howe is having the whole side ball winners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't really matter who's ahead if Sancho/Antony can't adapt to the system at Man Utd though. I'm pretty sure Gordon is tailor made for Howe's system.

I'm pretty sure Gordon is tailor made for Howe's system. True, but some take longer to adapt as Grealish that I pointed out. I mean Antony has as many goals for Man United as Gordon basically has in his career and they’re roughly the same age I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETH should have to answer to 80m on Antony in a court of law. He doesn’t have the talent to justify the fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might go on to perform much better but he's not that talented. 20 goals in a farmers league, I don't care. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point still stands though, Gordon isn’t as talented as the other two (at least based on career until now) and if we’re talking goals he has as many career goals as Antony has this season alone for Manchester U.

Tiresias Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I give anthony slightly more benefit of the doubt that plenty players have taken a while to show full potential in a new league, there is significant possible improvement, but right now looks pretty crap tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Gordon > Antony. Antony been fooling around in a farmers league and has played alright against South American drug mules for a below average Brazil. Would take Gordon any day of the week.

80 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Personally, I've still not got any faith in Howe since he wasted our money on him in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Antony has the strangest Brazilian flair I have ever seen. Always does it in a pointless place and manner that seldom seems to actually achieve anything. Compare to any Brazilian, but let's say Bruno as he was on the same pitch. The flair always has a purpose and achieves something, like the nutmeg to escape pressure on the edge of our box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Gordon is an interesting player, few times yesterday I’d have liked to see him carry the ball into space with pace but he opted to pass early and it was intercepted. For that chance for Isak I’d have figured he’d have tried to just beat Lisandro with pace and get a shot off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonesJones Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Bit of an unfair comparison. One has been playing for the Everton we've seen over the past couple of seasons, the other two have played in champions league teams, with a different level of player and manager.

jonny1403 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 22 hours ago, The College Dropout said: Aye. He’s hit the Robben finish a few times this season. But generally his ball striking is average. He’s not got that elite technique. Sancho also has that lack of pace. But Sancho has greater balance and technique. Sancho would’ve been better off going to the Champo rather than the Bundesliga. He doesn’t know how to scrap it out and fight. He’s not got that dawg in him. He’s as talented as Saka but Saka’s application is 10/10. Any fullback in the world is going to suffer playing Saka. Saka will demand the ball, muscle you, run you, dribble you, ran off your back for 90 minutes. Sancho could never.

Yeah when he won possession and immediately passed to Isak down the right hand side he had time to take a few more touches to allow Isak to curve his run and rather play it down the middle. Was acres of space and should have been a great chance. Think he just need some more time to settle to gain confidence in his own ability and status in the team. Seems to be a bit nervous still and thus goes for the easier options. A goal would do him wonders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
