Exactly, totally agree. He’s becoming a really good part of a more intricate team. Seems if he’s not leaving people in a cloud of dust he’s not worth it.
Reminds me more of Samir Nasri
We’ve got English Nasri LW and Brazilian Ben Arfa RW
Let's hope they reach the potential their predecessors didn't
Your last sentence is exactly why he would never work as a 10. Doesn’t have the vision or range for the role. He’s a terrific link up player best suited on the wing playing close to the striker and number 10.
Not worried about that at all. Not uncommon among wingers who are out there for their technique and not physical attributes, and we seem to be getting close to 20-30 minutes of Garnacho as Ten Hag is getting him the most cameos amongst the youngsters.
Bit of a negative view. I must have imagined him scoring a nice goal against Liverpool the other week.
Very positive view.
Look on the bright side his loss our gain.
He's also scored against shite like Citeh and Chelsea
I mean being real, Bowen is the real what the feck pick. Or that amount of defenders.Picked Grealish instead of him
He's outscored Bowen, Mount and Grealish combined yet Lord Waistcoat used to claim he picked players based on form
Exactly. Sancho was NEVER an Antony type of player. He's the quintessential system player. High on intelligence and technique in tight spaces. He's perfect for Ten Hag. Southgate would never know how to play the likes of him.
Because Southgate has been lucky with the draws in major tournaments and England has performed beyond expectations. The actual football itself and his coaching is rubbish.He's outscored Bowen, Mount and Grealish combined yet Lord Waistcoat used to claim he picked players based on form
The fact he picked 6 FB's and 6 CB's is another story entirely
We hear a lot of flack regarding Martinez wasting Belgiums golden generation yet not much fuss when it comes to Southgate and his uber negative football while enjoying the best crop of attacking talent the country might have ever produced at his disposal.
Exactly right. He’s too subtle in his craft to be appreciated by many, including the England manager. I think there’s a lot more to come from Sancho too. I think he’ll really shine as the system gets more refined.
Aren't you a ray of sunshine.
South London. Standard accent tbh.His accent is strange, where is he from?
South London / Croydon I believe - his accent is quite usual for those partsHis accent is strange, where is he from?
Also interesting that mentioned that he tried him through the middle at the end (must definitely be feeling the lack of options in that area) as he started to experiment during our stranglehold on the game:
Didn't know that, thanks.
Yes a manager who knows what he's doing, rates him high. Take note Southgate..
I think part of it is that he used to be a super dribbler at youth level, and that dribbling rate almost carried over to men's football in the Bundesliga. Averaging 2.5-3.5 dribbles per game as a teenager was impressive. So much so that it overshadowed his actual underlying strength (his intelligence in the final 3rd, and his ability to link up in tight spaces).
