Welcome to United, Jadon Sancho!

Absolute class 45 mins. Changed the game for us. Much suited to that 10 role, where he can just pass and move instead of being asked to take on his man.

 

[Red Devil 26]

That was fun.

 

[DWelbz19]

A menace in the final third. I think ten Hag has realised that the no.10 area is the best way to always get him to be the player on the ball to make the final or penultimate pass on an attack

 

[Kag]

I’m convinced that’s where he needs to play to get the best out of him.

Keep him in and around the box and away from having to stand up full backs.

He’s not a winger.

 

[Longshanks]

Play him in the center where you can get players around him and give him options and he is a definite threat. He gets isolated to easily on the wings.

 

[Alemar]

Good cameo, nice goal, but of course should have scored his second chance, it was a great one.

 

[KikiDaKats]

Now that is what I call a good footballing performance. Second time I’m watching play for us and feel impressed.
Both coming in games he’s occupied a more central role. His ability to drive into space with the ball is a great ability.

 

[BerryBerryShrew]

Looked very lively. He's got superb composure around the box. Consistency is the problem for him- his quality is evident.

 

[Verminator]

I’m convinced that’s where he needs to play to get the best out of him.

Keep him in and around the box and away from having to stand up full backs.

He’s not a winger.

Agreed.
It may work in counter attack, but on the wing against a set defence doesn't suit him.

 

[Buchan]

Get in, Jadon, lad.

Chuffed for him.

Fair play to those who suggested he would suit number 10 position last year. I wasn’t convinced at all. But I can certainly see how a dynamic 10 with good technique and dribbling can be very useful. I like what I saw.

 

[owlo]

Absolutely sublime. He reads the game so so well. Definitely needs to develop relationships with those above him. Love his quick pass and move style.

 

[GoonerGirly]

Good performance by him, looked very lively and confidence is growing. Have always been a fan of his and hope he can kick on now, though not enough to catch us.

 

[charlenefan]

I’m convinced that’s where he needs to play to get the best out of him.

He’s not a winger.

Is he better than Bruno in the 10 though?

Good performance from him today but he doesn't make our strongest XI imo not this season and definitely not after what I assume will be a busy transfer window next season

You need options though

 

[AltiUn]

Helped change the game today and got a well deserved goal to show for it.

 

[Sparky_Hughes]

Bloody brilliant today, that moment with awb..........

 

[MikeKing]

Yes. His ability to control the ball, turn and pass quickly in space is lovely and is something we miss in this side. Hopefully we can use him like this going forward.

 

[predator]

I came to the conclusion that he simply isn't well suited to the PL because of the pace and physicality and still maintain this view somewhat , doesn't necessarily mean he can't play in the PL, but he is that intelligent and technically gifted a footballer, you just have to be patient.

 

[ForeverRed1]

So dangerous in and around the box. He has that knack of the right pass with the right weight to it. He isn’t greedy and is technically very sound. Just a case of building his confidence up more.

 

[Kag]

Such a weird and strange post.

Why would I be gutted?

I get proven wrong, we get a player who helps contribute to wins, as a fan I'm ecstatic.

Unlike the mental cohort in here who cannot accept genuine critique.

Wobble your head.

Can you?

 

[saivet]

Very good performance from him, should have came away with another goals and an assist too. I think one thing ETH will value is having a player that can play all across the front three without it ever feeling like he's being shunted out of position.

 

[waza7111]

ETH will get the best out of him.

After what he's done with other players I don't think there can be any doubt.

 

[Lay]

Really good. Glad he scored too

 

[Kag]

Good performance from him today but he doesn't make our strongest XI imo not this season and definitely not after what I assume will be a busy transfer window next season

You need options though

They looked pretty great switching in the second half. It’s a fairly fluid formation it seems.

Give us options as you say.

 

[STaphouse]

Him and Bruno can play together. Both can cover the #10 position and RW so they can alternate throughout the game.

 

[Telsim]

Good cameo. Now he needs to start putting out these performances as a starter.

 

[Floyd_deeps]

What is there to laugh? He didn't start as no 10. He came and did the job against a poor team who was falling apart in the second half. We didn't buy him to be a good sub (even though that is a good thing but I doubt he would be happy with which I pointed out). We bought him to be a good starter which he is not at this moment.

Only that the poor team fell apart because we looked like a completely different side in the 2nd 45, in which Sancho had a huge role to play. You make it sound like we were coasting and Sancho just rode the wave. Our play completely transformed and Sancho played a key part. I can see him hitting his straps after this and becoming a central figure in EtH’s plans.

 

[Galactic]

He got magic feet. Hope he got his head and body right. He can be a monster for us for years to come.

 

[Nick7]

Good cameo. Now he needs to start putting out these performances as a starter.

I don’t think half a game is a cameo

 

[Chip]

Lovely performance. I assume his detractors will be silent today.

His "detractors"? Of course he gets credit where credit is due. He did well today, but does that mean that people who have rightly criticised him for being poor for long stretches of his time at United should suddenly eat their words?

 

[Adam-Utd]

turned the game around. what a player he is when in this kind of mood!

 

[Raven]

People demanding he be sold is who I'm talking about.

 

[Adisa]

When he's on form, he's magic.

 

[El-Manos]

When he plays like that; he's a joy to watch. Very talented player.

 

[Red00012]

Great to see him put in that performance

ETH reads the caf

 

[Chip]

People demanding he be sold is who I'm talking about.

Not that I want us to sell him, but I doubt that one good half against Leicester is enough to change peoples' mind.

 

[-Supreme-]

His link-up, short passing and decision making are the core skillsets that are lacking from the current squad at times, we need to get him more involved in certain patterns of play where his team mates need to be in close proximity that allows him to link up. He‘s not a winger that you‘d expect to beat his full back 1v1 or 1v2 situations that IMO would waste his talent.

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

I’m convinced that’s where he needs to play to get the best out of him.

Keep him in and around the box and away from having to stand up full backs.

He’s not a winger.

He’s an inside playmaker that can play through the middle or wide, but people expecting him to run at fullbacks just never had a clue what his game is.

He’s basically a City player that plays for United. Once people understand that they’ll realize how good he is

Changed the game completely and helped us hold possession in and around their box.
