WayneTheOwl Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 A lot of people on here were questioning Antonio and whether he was as good as last season. The simple answer is he is much BETTER than last season, but his week points are being shown. Why? Well if he could score goals consistently and not miss 4/5 a match, he would be worth 20 million pretty quickly. He is immense down the wing and is tireless. You can see his frustration in himself when he misses the chances. He's a young lad and a MASSIVE prospect and by far the best player this season. Maybe a week with Hirsty would sort this one out (and I don't mean in the pub!). Imagine how dull our side would be without Antonio in it. Scary! Now if only we had someone who could do the same on the other wing........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GrahamHydeFanClub Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 He looked knackered from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onedog23 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 He has been quality so far it is a bit worrying though where we would be without him! Played every game aswell! Worth every penny!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrh Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Thought I was the only one that thought he had been brilliant this season! He was or only that tonight just like he had been in many other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneTheOwl Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 He looked knackered from the start. Seriously? Never stopped for 90 minutes. Knackered - maybe thats just the way he looks! Plus when he is carrying an entire team would it be surprising? A legend in the making without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wath-owl Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) He looked knackered from the start. He absolutely busted his arse in a short spell in the first half, looked like it took a lot out of him, he was struggling to get back onside when we got the ball back. He's an absolute gem of a player, still very young. In 3 or 4 years when he's coming into his prime he's going to be a top class player. As it is right now we simply have to be patient and take the rough with the smooth, just as we had to do with Brunt.

Testament to him though for keeping going to the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spadge Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Just a little bit of composure and he will be awsome. Legs looked as though they went late 2nd half, however I can't think of when he has been subbed - has he played every minute of every game he started this season. Hope he can recover for friday, then enjoy the break. So pissed of to with durso in 2nd half when their midfielder tried to take him out, antonio kept going and he never booked player when ball went dead. Hey, but isn't that the story of season!

asteener1867 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 A bit of composure like..poppin' it over to JJ when he was stood in front of an open net....rather than swinging his fookin' foot at it...that P*ssed me off no end...But that said...he is one of our better players....

Guest totemowl Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I wish he'd set himself a target like he did last season. It worked wonders then and impressed us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurnscoe_OWL Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Antonio reminds me a bit of Valencia when he first went to manure. You can tell he has class he just needs to calm down a bit when he gets into the final 3rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Obese Owl Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Some nobber on the kop trying to tell me antonio is lazy *cant catch my breath* about 5 of them after the 2nd min bloody 2nd min into a game, ' ah we're vvank tonight, why are antonio and o'grady on the pitch', wish these type of so called 'fans would flip off S2, what good are they doing to the cause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Obese Owl Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Especially when the 1st ten mins of the gamee was probably our best period of thee game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfc-dan Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Superb player, just lacking a bit in that final ball (needs to use putside of his peg more!) Brilliant dribbling and work rate though, the guy can finish too just wasnt his night tonight. He'll be our top scorer by end of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wath-owl Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Barkley Antonio Llera Kirkland our 4 most consistently good players so far I'd put Buxton above them all personally. He just never seems to have a bad game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincowl Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 He's our only threat game after game and needs some help. He constantly has to risk going offside in order to get one on one with the last defender then we lob it over the top. We're so one dimensional as a result. I'd put Buxton above them all personally. He just never seems to have a bad game. Buxton has quietly been our best player for some time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
