Condimentalist Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I don't think he can play the holding role. Luiz is lucky to keep his place, but I can see why McGinn us being given another start. I expect we will see Sanson at some point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I'd be so pissed if I was him. At this point I'd be demanding a transfer. If we are playing this gash over a player that literally 13 months ago caused his manager to quit because he was sold idk what the **** we are doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston_Villan4 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Maybe Brighton will be his next start lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Think Gerrard just ruled him out of contention since Man. United error. He'll have to reconsider that in next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozvilla28 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 What's going on behind the scenes how he doesn't come on as a sub or start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Unless he is awful in training, he surely deserves a start in the next game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a very good game up until the error against Man Utd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Dont get it. Gerrard says positive things about him but doesnt play him. Id be looking for a way out if i was him. Looks like another berson situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughable Chimp Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) I'm probably in the minority here, but I don't really get the clamour for Sanson to start. I wouldn't drop any of our CMs for him. But that's because I don't actually think our midfield is to blame. We actually dominated possession the last 2 games. We're losing because our attack is toothless and our defence can't stop making mistakes. Our midfield is the least of our worries and I don't see the need to be changing it up. Also I haven't been impressed with more than a single performance of his for us. Edited February 20, 2022 by Laughable Chimp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's just basically Gerrard sees him as alternative to McGinn given his two starts have come with McGinn out with covid and suspended. Same as under DS, McGinn starts if fit. If Ramsey hadn't played well since turn of the year perhaps he'd have come in alongside McGinn. Gerrard obviously dosen't feel he can do a job as a DM and I'd agree given he never played for Marseille in that role so it's a case of waiting for one of the regulars to get injured.

People don’t seem to notice him when he’s on the pitch. December to early January he came off the bench in just about every game. Also started against Chelsea. 225 minutes under Gerrard. He didn’t only play against Man U. This is actually partly why I don’t rate him. At a glance he looks like a player (although a bit mistake prone), but he doesn’t seem to make much difference in games. I struggle to think of positive actions, not necessary goals or assist but maybe a really nice pass or important tackle. I do remember a great through ball in that cup game against Chelsea in September, but not much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check his overall stats from that game, they’re awful. Sanson actually played a lot better when he started against Chelsea in December, a game noone seems to remember, but the myth he had such a great game before that final error vs Man U is strong.

Oh I remember his game vs Chelsea. The 3 in midfield yesterday probably made 3 errors each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
