I'm assuming he's going to start we don't have another rb other than cash in the squad and digne and cash have only just come back from injury. So unless we are going with chambers at RB.

Though given that the WC occurs after next game week then perhaps they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both would be a more defensive option at RB which Emery seems to like, with the other Full Back the one bombing forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope it's the latter. This made me laugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds like I’m being negative. I’m not. I’ll be absolutely thrilled if he’s a good player. I’ve just seen a lot of players before hyped up because of a cameo and they end up being shit (Jean II Makoun anyone?) I think you’re being very harsh there in all honesty. Whilst no one is claiming he has pulled up trees and such like, I think he has shown that he is an assured player and comfortable in his surroundings. In my view and based upon those cameo’s, I feel that if given a run of approx 7-10 games, he would establish himself as a lynch pin of our midfield 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is a bigger mistake made by our goalie for the first goal. Exactly. He was on the run with a ManU player pressing hard on his heels and really had no good options to pass to. He slipped as he was hitting it. He made the decision most would have made to make the pass. The execution was a problem, whether it was a slip or not. But people keep referring to it as if it he received the ball in a good position with time and options and made a terrible decision and/or made a poor pass under no pressure. Plenty of players have made similar or worse mistakes under less difficult circumstances. His happened to get punished and it somehow stands out to people as some exceptionally dire transgression. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMitch Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 5 hours ago, PieFacE said: I find it interesting that people have such strong opinions of Sanson. I genuinely have no idea how good he is. He's barely kicked a ball for us and I think it's far more likely he's not quite up to it rather than both Smith and Gerrard just didn't like French people or whatever. Would be odd if he was as good as what we currently have given his little playing time. He played for Smith whenever he was fit that first season he signed for us in January... I think the plan was that he would start alongside McGinn & Luiz the following season, but Ramsey broke through and developed a lot faster than the club anticipated, which caused Sanson to have to not only battle reoccurring injuries, but also JJ for a start... Smith was sacked and Mumblemouth froze him out. He was clearly a solid player for Marseilles, but who knows how good or bad he'll be for us because he's never gotten a solid stretch of starts in a Villa shirt yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only has he not got started a huge amount of starts, he’s barely even used as a sub under Slippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember hearing Jamie Carragher talking about how Gerrard the player would sometimes write off new signings after 10 minutes with them on the training pitch. Doesn't surprise me that he would do this with players as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
