AntrimBlack Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I think Sanchez is very positive, tries to make things happen. Sherwood might well like his attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Think Sherwood could iron out Sanchez's faults? I don't think it is a question ironing out his faults as organising the team to better take advantage of what Sanchez offers. He should be one of the first names on the team sheet for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeVillan Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I don't agree, It's like he wants all day on the ball and then he goes and does something silly. And usually when he does do it he's the last man back apart from the defence leaving us vulnerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't agree the reason why he dwells on the ball is because no-one wants it from him, thing with Sanchez he will not just be a sideways pass, he wants to try and play it forward. He makes mistakes but he has shown what a big player he can be and will continue to be for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I think he will take a little bit of time now to get used to the tempo Sherwood will want us to play at instead of the ponderous stuff that's gone before. I think he's a better player than Westwood but will,have to scrap it out with him now for that place as I think Westwood did well on Sunday.

This, I think he's shown he can pick an attacking pass, we will see assists from this guy if we play consistently like we did 2nd half against Leicester.

bobzy Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Doesn't have the legs to play in a central duo for me. Was poor again today. Takes far too long on the ball, is slow to track back and got out-jumped on a number of occasions by Stephen Ireland today(!). If you're playing that central 3 which Lambert used, he sits as the defensive midfielder. If we setup with a central 2, he's just not there yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Need three bodies in the middle so that Sanchez doesn't have to do so much leg work, he isn't suited for it and Ireland ran him ragged today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Uncomfortable when pressing higher up, when tracking wide, when pivoting etc. Basically when having to do something other then a more orthodox holding role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 As i said on another thread, Sherwood got suckered today, playing 2 in central midfield left us exposed, too much movement, and too much pace off Stoke.Saying that , 2 poor goals, you could argue Vlaar should have done better on both. Mistake taking Gil off, and Gabby and Sinclair were poorer than Sanchez imho, and Delph wasn't much better. Wins a lot of the ball high up Sanchez, and the pass to Hutton was superb.In good positions, our final ball is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored a great header and made decent runs all the time. Sanchez was just terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I did'nt think Sinclair did much tbh.Against a poor FB, didn't beat him once.Saying that i'm not going to expect too much, and thinkk he will come good. Sanchez wasn't terrible, great pass to Hutton that should have led to a goal, wins the ball high up th pitch, tries a bit too much sometimes.Delph and Sanchez were over exposed today, Sherwood got suckered, took off the wrong man, and played the wrong system, not Sanchezs fault. You don't rate him, fair enough, i do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Lightweight talentless clogger tbh. A couple of good passes here and there do not make a good midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't rate him, fair enough, i do. As per my initial post today, he's good as a defensive midfielder in a central three. In a central two, he doesn't have the legs for it, wants too much time on the ball and can't match up against smaller, lighter opponents. For the one great pass he did, he got caught on the ball and made poorer passes more often. He's not a bad player, he's just not the right player if we're going to play as we did today.

Bunnski Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Extremely hit and miss and as usual his fitness was off again. He could have a role sitting in front of the back 4 but I'm nowhere near convinced that he is good enough at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I'm reluctantly coming to the conclusion that he's a passenger we can't afford to carry for the rest of the season. The tragedy is we've spent the last six months playing with 4 central midfielders and none of them, in the final analysis, are any good at all.
