Isa Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Has to be part of his job in a 4-4-2, though. He just doesn't look the part in a central duo at the moment. Yeah, true. He isn't suited to that system, he lacks the mobility to pivot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Been very poor this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GasGasGas Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Too limited and simply out of his depth in the Premier League. Columbia and James Rodriguez probably made him look good and overrated after the world cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 He's not looking very good at the moment. Had a few good games, but his passing has been generally quite poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 He works fine in a 3 as the DM from what I've seen. Today he intercepted well a few times. Yep in a two he hasn't got the dynamism required. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Let's also remember that he was brought on today to replace an injured Cleverley. Either way, I don't think Sanchez had a bad game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnie Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Ahh lets not beat around the bush no more, he has had time to settle in now, he isn't very good and is an accident waiting to happen. He has cost us several goals already in the Hull game at home, QPR, Arsenal. Always thought it was strange that he has only played for shite clubs like Elche previously and it's become obvious now. He is shite. Give me Westwood over Sanchez all day long. He has a cool afro though! Edited March 22, 2015 by donnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 One week he is good the next week he is poor and won't make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 He's been a mixed bag but why not give him a pre-season in England before we start writing him off, hey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I'd like to give him a full pre-season before we sacrifice him to the gods. Saw him described as a 'league one player' yesterday, which pissed me off. Had a long rant on twitter about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) He had a shaky start here but then found some form and confidence and started to look good, however since the turn of the year has gone off the boil. I think there's a decent player in there, but he really needs to concentrate on the ball more and show more awareness of what's happening around him. As pointed out above, he's too much of a liability to play in a 2, he can only play in a system with 3 central midfielders.

KJT123 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 He is a defensive midfielder not a central midfielder. Westwood should have come on for Cleverley yesterday because they're two similar players, Sanchez should only be played when we play with three midfielders.

Reivax_Villa Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 He certainly has the ability to play in this league he is just inconsistent. Like one of the posters said he needs a good pre-season. He actually looks a bit unfit to me. Might need to lose some pounds. The other thing that worries me is his lack of mobility in comparison to our other midfielders. I hope he comes good.

Mr_Dogg Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 He's a pure defensive midfielder, if he has to pass more than 10 yards then the team is set up wrong. A 3 man midfield has a destroyer (Sanchez), a passer (Westwood) and a player to push forward (Delph). That's what we should be playing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khizzy Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 The Creator is a laughable nickname (if it really is his nickname) - the only thing he creates is chances for the other team by fouling an opponent or giving it away in dangerous areas...
