Manchester United winger Antony faced heavy criticism on Monday night following his poor performance against Crystal Palace. The Brazilian’s team suffered a devastating 4-0 loss in the Premier League.
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher did not hold back in his assessment of Antony and his teammate Mason Mount, labeling them as embarrassing. Carragher even suggested that they should “get off the pitch” after the game.
During a post-game analysis on Sky Sports, Carragher expressed his frustration after witnessing Antony and Mount whispering to each other. He exclaimed, “Just get off the pitch. Talking and whispering behind your hand, you have been absolutely awful.”
Carragher speculated that the players were possibly discussing another teammate, the team’s tactics, or even the manager. Nevertheless, he emphasized that after such a defeat, they should simply “shut up and get in.”
The former Liverpool defender concluded by stating, “You’ve been beaten 4-0. Whispering and talking about other players. Honestly, embarrassing.”
It is clear that Antony’s performance did not meet expectations, and the criticism from Carragher highlights the disappointment felt by many fans. Manchester United will undoubtedly be looking for a strong response from their winger in future matches.
