✍️ Welcome Michail Antonio

[hammerman11]

any doubt on Antonio we should not play him. get him ready for arsenal where he will slaughter them. as stated haller has been shown what to do. no more sulks moodiness and light jogs. he needs to work for the team. same applies to Anderson tonight. hasn't scored for ages and both due a goal. good time to start scoring again !

Is it true that he employs his own medical team as he has so little faith in the clubs

Don't know if he does, but it's not at all uncommon for athletes at the top level to have a whole team of support that (in consultation with the club obviously) takes care of various issues: Chef, nutritionist, trainer, physio etc. So I wouldn't be surprised if he has his own people, but his contract would almost certainly require Club consent to any treatments, and having a team isn't any indication of the player not trusting the club, more it's that having your own team lets you get much more personal attention on your own schedule, often in your home instead of the club facilities.

Another performance of the season from the unbelievable man him himself

[smuts]

He was unplayable at times tonight. Absolutely top notch performance.

[Rowly]

Deservedly MoM. Awesome display.

[Blow Bubbles]

It is mad how our opinion on him (and his form, attitude and fitness (read ‘muscle’ obviously) really isn’t it!

[Vladnar]

As I have said before I wish we had 10 Michail Antonio's

[Faithless]

Was the dogs danglies today

[Mikloskosglovebag]

Reminds me of Ronaldo the way he has matured into the central role

[61dicksey]

His balance and strength have improved immensely , he used to fall over a lot , not anymore , power pace and leaves defenders wondering what he is going to do often doing the least obvious thing .Tremendous

[Pob!]

In beast mode plus tonight..

Awesome!

[Monkey Mike]

Absolute giant last night. Shame his goal didn't stand, that's 2 chalked off for handball recently.

[S-H]

On current form he'd be a massive weapon for England!

[ereford ammer]

He was unplayable at times tonight. Absolutely top notch performance.

I can't argue with that. Thank goodness he is fit again.

[Pob!]

:lol:

My man-love for the fella is reaching Carlton-esque levels.

We could have been watching Drogba at his peak yesterday.

Saints couldn't handle his power or work rate.

[HammerAl]

Just goes to show what pace and power in the right areas can do. Antonio would have been one of Southampton defence’s toughest opponents this season. The likes of Lanzini and Yarmolenko are much better technically, but Antonio’s strength and determination to get in behind and stretch a defence is so effective and a huge weapon for us.
