Carlos Sanchez

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

Drop him.

 Sanchez  Delph plus a goal scoring midfielder like Sigurdsson is a good midfield.

Agree with this. Of course if Delph leaves, we'd need to replace him.

I really like Sanchez defensively, he's good at protecting the defence. He looks lost at times when he goes forward though and takes too long on the ball. Think he'll be very good next season.

I really like Sanchez and Okore. They scare me at times though with how casual they can seem in possession.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Today was the best performance from a defensive midfielder I've seen in a Villa shirt in years. I'd love to see his stats as apart from slipping over once, I'm almost sure he never gave the ball away, got tackles in, made himself constantly available, always looking for the next pass, preferably forward and on top of that he really covered some ground today.

Unquestionably a 10/10 performance from our new midfield hero. I take it for granted he got the MOTM award?

[Legion]

He did. I thought he was brilliant today.

[silhillvilla]

He did. I thought he was brilliant today.

Agree but I think he's been great for a few weeks now.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

He did. I thought he was brilliant today.

Agree but I think he's been great for a few weeks now.

Sure but today he was head and shoulders above anybody on the pitch, even by his standards.

[SoccerHQ]

He's got the pace of the game now which he certainly didn't have in the Arsenal game going back to his first start.

Good player. Looks like he'll nail the DM position. Westwood can be the inbetween midfielder and we desperately need an attacking midfielder from somewhere.

Then we may just have a top 10 standard midfield if Grealish can flourish in the second half of the season.

To use an old cliché, The cream always rises to the top.
It appears that this is certainly the case here.
Well done Carlos

[myf]

Excellent performance today. Very composed

[ChicagoLion]

Looks a very good player now he has settled.

[Ron Manager]

Does anyone know what The Sanchez stats were or where we can find them? I didn't see him lose the ball once or fail to find a Villa player.

A quite wonderful performance.

[djtbc]

A great performance:

Touches 100, Pass Accuracy 95.5%, Tackles 4, Key Passes 2, 10/10 Accurate Long Balls.

[Clampy]

I thought he was great today, but I liked the look of him from his first game. Sometimes you just need to give foreign players time.

[Toronto Villa]

We need to get quality in just like him. Lambert has spent his transfer budget well when shopping above the bottom of the barrel. He needs to now find players that can take the ball from the likes of Sanchez and do something with it. The likes of Cleverley, Gabby, Weimann, N'Zogbia are not or no longer the answer.

So right TV. Those four should not even be in the first team squad. To give Agbonlahor a new four year contract sums up this manager and the club owner who authorized it.
