Agree about Sancho.Agree. I thought Sancho was a bloody nightmare for Callum to link up with in any way shape or form. So frustrating for a forward looking to run into space. When we were breaking forward and Sancho got the ball, after about three steps forward he would invariably stop dead, take on two or three opposition players, show some of his tricks and then pass the ball backwards or sideways. He never looked to play the quick ball forwards which somebody like Callum was positioning himself for. The guy took all the pace out of our counter attacks. He seemed more intent on showing what he could do than actually helping the team to win the game. He infuriated me every time he got the ball. Yes, you have skills, we get it, now look for an incisive pass you muppet ! Urgh !
So many times I was yelling at him to play the ball through for Callum, but he wanted to dance around the edge of the box trying to score himself. What the &****#? There's a reason teams have strikers, it's so you can pass to them!
Definitely talented, but hogged the ball too much, and held it way too long. Against harder opposition he could get really punished.
