I think Renato Sanches has been unfairly singled out due to that specific awful pass

Noone of his teammates were anywhere better, although it doesn't excuse his shit game.

Here's all of Renato Sanches' ball touches vs. Chelsea last night.

It also raises serious doubts about Reschke (Bayern's previous head scout).
Reschke is the very reason why we got Kimmich. He basically demanded that Bayern buy him for the sake of the club, even though that meant splashing some millions on an unproven 2nd leaguer. Coman was also his doing.

Thiago and Shane Long have done it recently.
Thiago's was a great pass. Santa was attacking the space and he just delivered it so Santa could reach it at full speed. That's how you do it.

That’s a terrible half of football for him. Gave it away constantly. Underhit passes galore.

That’s all down to confidence or least mostly is. He looks very unsure of himself and it’s pretty awful to see.

William Carvalho just did a similar pass to the billboard, but I guess no one on his right mind will call him a bluff.

Coman? I doubt that. For all his supposed greatness, his trackrecord at Bayern was pretty meh. Likely also the reason we never really tried to keep him.

Really, what does one thing has to do with the other? If you followed Sanches from youth teams you probably know he wasn't well known for his football brain to say the least.

How do you know I didn't? One my biggest regrets was the way Jesus, which I admire, wasted that generation of youth talent in Benfica. And you don't play just with your brain. I was simply mentioning it for the double standards judging a similar missed pass to the billboard.

You are not going to repeat the same propaganda from LFV aren't you? Reality is every youth player that Jorge Mendes wants to sell is going to be sold, nothing to do with JJ or Rui Vitória. And if you think football brain isn't the most important aspect for a top midfielder we just have different football concepts.

Yeah, Mendes is the main culprit, but as a fan I wished those kids who were sold could've had some seasons with the first team, as most of them could/should. Bernardo's case is shocking, really. And it was sweet to see Jesus lose his Sporting title to a Benfica incredible recovery fueled precisely by this no-brain midfielder.

I didn't even knew he was Benfiquista. I thought he was an United fan. Anyways, i don't really understand why Benfica fans get butthurt, it was an incredible deal by Orelhas, it's not easy to fool the germans.

If I told you I don't follow clubs, more managers (like Jesus or Mourinho), would you believe me?

Well that title everyone knows how you guys won, and it wasn't playing football, its what happens when you have a gangster running your club, have a nice day, if you want to talk about football better come to the portuguese football thread, but better not try to come with the propaganda from your club.

Yeah, it was that incredible miss by Bryan Ruiz. I was rooting for Sporting then, so spare me the crap.

Anyhow, shouldn't you be watching Miguel Rosa (another Jesus' favorite) score the draw? ;)

Bebe has a couple of decent seasons in La Liga. I don't know if Sanches is capable of that atm. He should return to Portugal next season. Bebe did so after failing at United and Besiktas. He played 39 games and scored 13 goals for Paços de Ferreira and then regained his confidence before going to Spain.

Yeah that was tongue in cheek comment to be honest. What was the deal with Bebe? Was he really homeless or something when United signed him. I keep hearing different things? Was he a professional player? Or what?

He was in one of those foster care homes who take care of orphans and abandoned kids. He was living and playing at Guimarães when Mendes fooled United with a supposed Real Madrid in him.

No surprise whatsoever. His technical talent was hugely overrated and most became swept up in the hype. He's a player that relied solely on the physical aspects of his game and as soon as he came to play football in Germany and Britain, traditionally physical leagues, he's been found wanting.

Shows you how much Sir Alex trusted his network.

Best thing for him is probably a move back to Portugal. I stuck with believing the hype. Guess that's impossible any longer.

One of those players who was overhyped because he ran a lot in a game in Euro.

Its a shame for the lad but he choose to move instead of waiting now no one will want him.

Why cant the kids just think for a min rather than see cash signs.

I actually think Fellaini has better technique and position sense than he does i wounder what he does in training.

He needs to go to a Spanish club and work on his technique and his running will be more use there.

It's interesting how Bayern were insistent on not selling him for less than they paid for him during the summer, they knew they had made a mistake and were looking for some other fool to take the financial hit - pretty underhand if you ask me.

Give him to us for 5mill and Jose will bench him, reserve team him, ignore him, then he will be immense for 5-10 games then when he goes to shit rotate him with mkhi for 5-10... Simple!
