Guest Sheff Owl Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I can't understand where that performance came from today, it was shocking. Although Antonio has had poor games in the past that has got to be his worst. He looked slow, his first touch was awful and his passing was just pathetic, if he was carrying a slight injury then it's understandable but Stuart Gray has confirmed that Antonio has no injury. He seemed to pass the ball lose it and make no effort to run back and win it back, he just seemed to look around at others. His performances have been good it's just a huge surprise to see that today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senwar Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Taking him off for tactical reasons but to replace him with JJ. Cracking tactics. He had a shocker again today tho Antonio. Absolute shocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TANGLED UP IN BLUE Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Thought he looked okay first ten mins, got past full back a few times , great ball in for Lee too. Know what ya saying tho he either ran out o steam or that knock affected him. Hope he's reit for next time out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanye West Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Antonio was brilliant until that mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darra Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Played a lot of football since he came back from injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladeshater Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 The worst game he has played for us but must move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trask43 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Played well until gifting them possession for their goal. Took a lot of grief off coke Lee and a few others for not playing it simple and lost his head and stopped playing his natural game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcclesallOwl Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Taking him off a minute before half time was stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senwar Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Taking him off a minute before half time was stupid The reasoning Gray gave was even more baffling. Tactical reasons??? And that tactical reason sees JJ as the replacement???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 At least Amtonio tried. Best and Helan were a disgrace today Zero effort and no indication they cared whether we won or lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcclesallOwl Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 The reasoning Gray gave was even more baffling. Tactical reasons??? And that tactical reason sees JJ as the replacement???? Exactly He clearly wasn't happy with him so why not just say it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shez owl Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 If he didnt take him off because of concussion I can't understand it, to me it was clear his performance went downhill after the bang in head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl.1867 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 He was awful all round. I thought Gray was right to take him off when he did but he wasn't to know that JJ was going to let him down by being just as bad. For JJ it spells the end of the road definitively for him now, while for Antonio I hope he takes the kick up the backside and rips Bolton a new one.

philswiz Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 He obviously took him off as he was unhappy, he even paused before giving the tactical answer. It was his way of saying to the players that he expects them to play in the way he wants. Slagging off the player directly is unprofessional, hence the remark. Not saying I agree, just my take!

Blue n White Rampage Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 antonio always had his off days or offperiods, his periods shall we call them. i hope gray plays more fringe players or youth players in the last couple of games. i want us to think about next season now.

FlyingOwl Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Definitely his worst game. Not gonna slag him off completely, cos since his return he's been playing some of his best football. But he looked knackered from the word go today. He made one lazy pass which nearly let Charlton in early on...then didn't learn from that mistake & made another lazy pass which lead to Charlton's first.

agentwalker Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I was saying at least 15 mins before he went off that I would have taken him off. When he was in possession he was ok but without the ball he was lazy. Maguire was busting his gut chasing balls down but Antonio couldn't be arsed.

Guest GrahamHydeFanClub Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Awful first touch. Lazy. Couldn't trap a bag of sand or pass a kidney stone. Routine Antonio performance then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanye West Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Antonio is brilliant at attacking but the laziest player on the pitch when it comes to defending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
