He's always been incredibly wasteful imo. I said so when we signed him, so that's not just me being knee-jerk. He's really done at this level.

Yeah, did it hurt your feelings? Alexis was better, while being ignored by both Jesse and Marcus on a couple of occasions.
You and your fan boy pals are like a disease, you can’t make a comment without some of you popping up.
He is well out of his comfort zone.
Looks gone physically and mentally ..

He is slow and can't beat any player now, his couldn't more than a few goals per season too, and he is getting old. Tragic signing.
I thought he worked hard. Did ok. Not involved much.
I still think he is worth persisting with although, when United have Rashford and Martial fully fit, Sanchez will be on the bench. He is here until the summer at least, if he fails to produce between now and then, offload him.
He is coming back from an injury also, so I think he deserves a bit of leeway, for the moment at least.

I feel sorry for him. He looks done as a top-level player. He was so good at Arsenal.
What an oddly specific post
Should have tagged your target and be done with it mate.I thought he did ok today. His movement is good, but for some reason we seem hesitant to pass him the ball. Noticed it a few times today, he’d spin behind a defender and the ball just wouldn’t come.
As I mentioned in the game thread, he was no better or no worst than any of our midfielders and attackers. We looked sluggish, and aimless to a degree.
I can see that we are trying to improve our 'game-management'... but, aside from the first 20mins, when we were all superb, sharp and ready.. we were then quite poor to average at best, across the midfield and across the attacking line.
It happens. But I do think we have some tired minds, and tired legs, and with so many huge games coming up (they are ll tough in fact...) I just worry a bit. But Ole / Phelan simply must see that. They must.

It's a real shame, it showed the difference when martial came on, he didn't even play well but he also didn't needlessly concede possession.
Was literally coming in to post exactly that.
The amount of times we were breaking and the ball-carrier ignored Sanchez was striking.
It suggests that either there's some personal issue between him and the other players, or (more likely) that they don't rate him. To be honest, given his performances so far, you can't really blame them. He just looks done.
Both of them were poor, but there's no way he was better than Lingard.
It's weird because I don't think that he was particularly bad but it seems that the combination of players doesn't suit him. To me it seems that he would thrive around players that run with the ball while he can play quickly around them without having to carry it. When he replaces Martial, he is supposed to be the main runner and it doesn't suit him at all.
Thought he started the game very well with nice touches and passes, then when we stopped becoming an attacking force at all he fizzled out with the rest of them. Wouldn't blame him particularly anyway today.
That requires the difficult pass to pick out. Pogba aside we don’t have players that can play that pass. They take the simple option almost every time.
He's just so mediocre these days. Used to be a player who relied on his low centre of gravity, tenacity, end product, burst of acceleration and pitbull physicality. Sadly, now he seems to have lost the last two vital attributes and what your left with is a footballer who is no longer capable of influence and win games which essentially was hin forte. He's never really been a great passer /buildup player so he isn't ageing well at all.
We should get rid IMO. You want your backup winger to have that electricity to make an impact.

He's always just "ok" and doesn't really do much. Has glimpses of decent touches here and there but he pretty much never creates a proper chance, never finds himself in a proper chance... Think he should compete for Lingard for that spot and is good for depth but he really needs to do more.
Lingard and Rashford don't like him. It is not that they didn't click on the pitch, they just don't like him. They ignore his runs while he always try to pass to others. Young lions want old lion out of pack.
I am afraid that he will need to go. But before that, i want to see him on that right wing, ffs

He is not worth the salary he is paid. The amount he gets per week should go to a world class game changing player and its clear by now he isn't that type of player anymore. I hope he is sold in the summer and we buy an actual world class player forward.
Used to be a terrific player, but he's done at the top level. Bad signing by Jose, will be very tough to sell him.
He started well but then we seems to collectively become sh*t and so did he. He did make a few good runs though but lingard and specially Rashford seem to be on shoot at site instructions as they had a lot of chances to play Sanchez in but preffered to take shots from poor positions.
Who will buy him with his ridiculous wages? He is at a place where he is still better than MLS and China but finished at the top level.
Clearly on the decline, hopefully someone takes him off us this summer.
No better or worse than the other forwards today. He's come back from injury and given the last team performances hasn't really had the opportunity to enjoy the attacking football as others....
Fair play to Alexis. He is a very loyal player and always gives his best for the team. He really played to the maximum today.
Still doing his best to get Arsenal into top 4.

Not the best game to judge him, but then you think he is the one who should make the difference out of nothing.
He will provide a sublime goal or assist now and then, but clearly on decline

Would love to see a foot race between him and Mata.
that's harshI honestly think pound for pound and expectancy hes the worst player weve ever signed.Even worse than Falcao.
For me its not even his lack of pace thats bad its his lack of agility.
His agility is terrible

He's definitely faster than Mata. I don't think pace is his issue anyway.
Rashford and Lingard clearly don't like him. They ignored him all game, was weird.
He was fecking shite, again.
He's done as a top level player. Bank on it.

Reminds me of Rooney towards the end. The attitude and work rate is there but his legs have gone.
I do hope this is not the case. Either one of those would do well to be a player that Sanchez was when he was on fire at Arsenal.
One of the worst deals this club has done. I suppose he deserves a shot under Ole but until now he's been pretty useless.
I'm actually not sure that he is. There were a couple of moments in this match where it was actually amazing how slow he was. He was never the fastest player, but he seems to have lost what pace he did have. Along with acceleration and, as somebody else mentioned above, his agility.
I still hope to see him upfront in the false 9 spot that Lingard has been playing in at times, with Martial and Rashford on either side. That's basically become my last hope, but even Ole doesn't seem to be interested in using him there.
I still don' think that's his issue.
Today the main issue for me looks like he has zero understanding or any good relationship with his teammates. They don't seem to be linking with him at all or wanting to pass to him. I'm starting a bit to believe those reports that came several months ago that's he's alone and isolated from the rest of the team.
Sanchez has never been good at playing within a team system. His whole game was about individuals moments, never really been a team player. The point is that playing on the right or as a 10 or 9 is not going to make a significant difference to how he plays. For it to even have a chance at working he would need to have the whole team built around him, and frankly he is not good enough any more to make that feasible.
Useless out wide. Like mata he has to be played centrally to be of any benefit.
We desperately need another winger with pace to cover the flanks.
