Michail Antonio’s recent performances have drawn harsh criticism from Jacob Steinberg, who feels the West Ham striker cannot be upset if he is benched for a forthcoming game against Nottingham Forest.
Antonio has only managed two goals in 11 Premier League games this season and has struggled to find the back of the net since late August.
Steinberg called Antonio’s recent performances “dire” and advised David Moyes, the manager of West Ham, to look for other options.
Jarrod Bowen might be used as a central striker, since he showed promise in this capacity during West Ham’s most recent Carabao Cup victory over Arsenal.
OkHe asserted that Antonio is under pressure to turn around because of his lackluster play, which included missing an easy goal in the loss to Brentford.
Steinberg also hinted that Antonio’s actions on the field ought to reflect his candor off it.
(Through The Guardian) He stated:
Michail Antonio has not scored a goal in any tournament since August 26. Instead of making an effect on the field, he has been more influential with his remarks on the Footballer’s Football Podcast.
The striker appears unafraid to speak his mind and isn’t concerned about upsetting others. Yet it works both ways.
Given his dismal previous West Ham performances, Antonio has no right to be upset if he is benched against Nottingham Forest.
There are options for David Moyes, whose team has only triumphed once in their previous seven league games.
If Lucas Paquetá starts at No. 10 after serving his ban, Mohammed Kudus plays on the right, and the adaptable Jarrod Bowen shifts up front, West Ham might appear more fluid.
In West Ham’s Carabao Cup victory against Arsenal, Bowen excelled as a roaming central striker, and he had good chemistry with Kudus against Brentford the previous week.
Antonio is under pressure to perform better after missing a clear goal in the Bees’ 3-2 loss.
According to speculations, West Ham will be searching for strikers in the forthcoming transfer windows; players like Santiago Gimenez and Kelechi Iheanacho are being linked to moves, thus Antonio will be under pressure.
