Jadon Sancho (loan)

[waynejames]

Lost possession almost every time he had the ball.
Does not tackle and does not like getting physical.
Brings nothing to the table and is being carried by good players around him.
For as much as i want him to do well i can't see it.
Get rid

I didn’t think he was that bad tonight, especially first half.

Yeah he’s mostly just steady without doing too much that’s remembered in a positive way. The mistakes are more memorable, such as the second half volleyed pass to one of their players to set them on the attack in the final third.

Is that the one where he was blaming other players for not running into space to get the ball? Then walked back in slowly and only reacting when the ball came out to the edge of the area to a player he could have been marking if he had run back. Then when the final shot went wide, seemed to moan at the other players again. He was subbed straight after I think.

The incident late on where he was running to keep the ball in play with a Basel player chasing him down, he could have easily kept the ball alive but he was so preoccupied with the player behind him, he shit himself and quite pathetically let the ball run out for a throw in. Totally gutless and summed up him his time with us perfectly.

My main frustration is he is so one footed (right) and plays on the left so no matter how promising the position the defenders show him inside and the move peters out.

Sounds like a right gobshite tbh.

Andy Townsend on co-comm called him out at one point in the second half for "looking over his shoulder" when he let a ball right in front of Emery run out of play to avoid a contest with their defender. I'm struggling to think of a more cowardly player in a Villa shirt. Bailey certainly wasn't the bravest but Sancho is in a league of his own.

His Man City chance springs to mind.

I agree with you about Sancho, but not Bailey.  The season we finished fourth, Bailey was nothing short of a leader on the pitch, and off it too.

Hitz also called him out after the game.
He is not making many freinds with his attitude.

It’s strange we have Guessand with little talent but prepared to work hard and Sancho with all the talent in the world that acts like a total wimp.

not one for the trenches one feels

That one's just fallen off a ladder in Bristol.

I think so, there were 2/3 Villa players inside him but the pass went straight to them and he did seem to throw his hands up after their shot went wide. Whether it was frustration for the misplaced pass (I hope) or with his team mates (unjustified), I’m not sure.

He’s got talent it just seems the desire and application isn’t there anymore. I know he left  Man City to get first team football which was a brave move and it worked out but perhaps it was too much too soon and he thinks he’s made it and the job is done, financially speaking it is as he should be set for life.

Bailey certainly did but only for a very short spell over his time with us. We had a West Ham teenager bully him embarrassingly at a cup game at Villa Park last season, final straw for Emery I suspect. Bailey was flaky at best, you could tell within 5-10 mins how he was going to perform.

Sancho often starts well, at EL group stage level let's be clear, but once the intensity lifts at all he hides away from it. That's simply unacceptable and a little sad for a player with his undoubted ability.
