bose Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 MOTM today. Best performance I've seen from him at Villa.I read somewhere that Remi did like to play with a proper defensive protector in front of the defence at Lyon. Sanchez is perfect in that role.

jonno_2004 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Probably his best game for us. Didn't try anything too stupid which was key and looks like he's been given a defined role, which is vitally important if he's going to have an impact.

Guest av1 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 This putting round pegs in round holes might catch on you know I came into the thread to post the exact same. I think over the next few weeks we will see a few of our players benefit from this crazy new approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Albert Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 He was great today, the enforcer it's not easy going toe to toe with toure but I thought he did excellent. You don't get 60 caps for Columbia for nothing. He's been Columbia's best player in there last few games. Play him where he's comfortable and watch him go. He will be big for us and a fan favourite. Well done Carlos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 8, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) It was so great to see the midfield 3 deployed with an actual shape.Sanchez was obviously the deepest of the three and kept that position. Gana and Veretout sat in front of him. I've said it dozens of times, but giving this team shape and organisation is half the battle.

Far tougher opposition today though which is why I think its best performance yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electronicmaji Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I didn't it here because of how bad our run has been lately and how little hope I have but I was thinking that a french coach would properly use Sanchez seeing how it was a frenchman who invented the role he plays and how they tend to use it in French while there really are not british coaches who have used hat kind of position in england: only foreign coaches.

TrentVilla Posted November 8, 2015 Moderator Share Posted November 8, 2015 It was so great to see the midfield 3 deployed with an actual shape.Sanchez was obviously the deepest of the three and kept that position. Gaba and Veretout sat in front of him. I've said it dozens of times, but giving this team shape and organisation is half the battle.And that is what they've been drilling into them in the three days, three days and its improved that much. Makes you wonder what Sherwood and Wilkins were doing these last 3 months doesn't it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted November 8, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 8, 2015 I think we've all wanted to see Sanchez just sit in front of the back four and do nothing but protect the back. Nice to finally see him given that role. I don't think Westwood and Sanchez can play in the same team, and Sanchez gets the nod every time for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could easily say that Lambert was coaching Sanchez for 6 months and never got this kind of performance out of him so what was he also doing? Today Sanchez was good and I hope he keeps on like this. Edited November 8, 2015 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I still saw Sanchez play things a little too tentative at times, and you just kind of hope it doesn't turn into something terrible as a result when it happens. There are times when he ball watches and times when he tries to finesse a situation when a thumping clearance is required. Hope Remi can fine tune Sanchez, cuz we need him.

bobzy Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Disciplined and with no fancy shit - much, much better. I think he hesitates a bit too much and, against a team that presses more, he's still going to struggle - but that was much more like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Best game in Villa shirt has to start instead of Westwood much more suited to DM role . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I think Sherwood tried him as a box to box player and he just isnt suited to it. As the anchor.. he just did his role.. win the ball and give it to the other lads. Had more options with Gana and Veretout and Gil around which didnt force him to make an awful pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 get bodies close to him and give him options when he's in possession. Thats what has been wrong with his performances....fix it like Remi did.....and thats what you get a Colombian international who can mark messi out of a game.
