In response to one of Michail Antonio’s well-known goal celebrations, Jamie Carragher called the cardboard cut-out versus Leicester City in 2021 a “belter.”
By scoring against the Foxes, the Jamaican international overtook Paolo Di Canio as the team’s leading scorer since the Premier League’s inception.
Carragher disagreed that it was worth the time and effort, stating that he probably wouldn’t do the same in his place, even though at first he enjoyed the unorthodox celebration.
“Michail Antonio is arguably the best at parties right now. Isn’t that cardboard cutout amazing? But it’s over the top,” the former Liverpool defender stated on Tuesday, February 6, on Sky Sports via X.
To go fetch the cardboard cutout of yourself that you produced a few days ago, bring it to the game, and make sure someone has it in the proper position by switching ends based on the direction that the opponent is attacking.
“West Ham’s top scorer of goals? Is that anything for which you actually receive a cardboard cutout? With whom are you in competition? Really? Not in my opinion.
Even though Antonio hasn’t scored many goals in his time at London Stadium, he is still a fan favorite among Hammers supporters.
Even more amazing is the fact that two years ago he passed legendary Di Canio in the scoring rankings, making 77 goals in 290 games. The Italian forward’s importance to the team is demonstrated by the fact that it only took 49 goals to remove him.
His recent injury is another proof of his influence on David Moyes’ team, as West Ham is now devoid of a commanding presence at the top of the pitch. While Jarrod Bowen has been filling in, Antonio’s absence is still felt despite the fact that he has been scoring goals.

Antonio had only scored two goals in the Premier League this season before to his November knee injury, but his playing style has been most missed.
His ability to hold the ball up and fend off opponents is essential for West Ham’s preferred counterattacking style of play because it allows players like Lucas Paqueta, Mohammed Kudus, and Bowen to enter the attack.
Another piece of West Ham news is that a key player might be tempted to quit already.
