Jadon Sancho (loan)

[PaulWinch again]

I thought he was ok. To be honest as long as it’s channeled ok I don’t mind him being annoyed about being subbed off.

[Fasth56]

He was poor. Seems bloody slow for a forward.

I thought he was ok, linked up well several times with Digne. Was better than what Rogers has been all season until the last 3 games. Is he the new scapegoat now that Cash is playing excellently? One very good moment when he got to the byline and almost scored when ball rebounded to him. Good stop by Donnarumma. Somebody on post match thread gave him 3 out of 10, which is a joke, at least a 6.

Well I'd give him a 3 just for the bottle job. He's probably got more natural ability than someone like McGinn but lacks the desire that makes McGinn who he is. And about the bottling of the tackle, I was always told, you either go in fully committed or you dont go in at all, dangling your foot like he did, hes lucky not to get injured

[Des Little]

I’m not a fan, and I was very surprised when we brought him in - I hope that he has me eating humble pie soon, but every time I see him I get less convinced that I will be.

[N'ZMAV]

glad he was annoyed - shows there's a little bit of fire in his belly - there's a talented player in there..... it's going to take him months to get up to speed for Unai's game, not to mention his fitness

Without wishing to be too harsh, unless he was injured, the fact that he came on after 30 minutes and then was subbed after 74 reflects his performance up to be honest. 

It was a pretty damning indictment of how he did to be honest. 

[PaulWinch again]

Not according to Unai, who is generally pretty frank in his assessment of these things.

Not really, Emery has outright said he got the minutes that were planned.

yep just earlier than anticipated

[RamboandBruno]

I didn’t think bottled anything. But when you compare to Bailey and Diaby of 2023 or Rasfhord earlier this year, Im just not sure he’s that good to be honest.

[Steve67]

I want to see Sancho go at, and beat his marker much more.  At the minute, he's all fart and no shit.  I think he might be a talent but it needs to come out and he play with some freedom.  At the moment, he's playing within himself and has more to offer.

He absolutely did wimp out if a tackle.

This is at least the fourth time that Unai has subbed the sub who has initially come on early in the first half of a match.

Just can't see that to be honest.  I've got absolutely no axe to grind with the kid at all and actually think he's done alright in the games he's featured in so far, but he wasn't great today.

[Dante Lavelli]

Emery might be deflecting I suppose, but the truth seems more plausible. He didn’t have a pre-season and lost a week or two with us so I can understand why Emery is managing his minutes.

[Matt C]

Looked alright when he first came on, I thought, but faded in the second half. Doesn’t change the fact he’s the just about the last sort of signing I expected us to be making.
