Is the bottled challenge on the BBC highlights? It looks like he's dummying - allowing the ball to cross his body - hoping the defender over commits. A calculated risk, rather than bottling it. It didn't come off but not sure he should be completely written off if that is the evidence.
He will excel with a consistent run of gametime.Malen was a slow starter also.Give The Sanch time.
Sancho is skillful, likes to combine with others but is ultimately very easy to defend against because his play is predictable, he’s largely one paced and has no body strength to hold off physical challenges.
