Jadon Sancho (loan)

[eamonn]

I just think we needed to mix it up as it was too crowded centrally to run with the ball. We didn't really come close to scoring in the last half an hour despite most of the game being in their third.

So yeah, bringing Ty or Onana on and getting Bailey and Sancho to stay wider more often and sling balls in as a Plan B couldn't have fared worse than we we did do. And as Dave said, Tammy is hardly lacking for height and was getting bugger-all ball to feet.

Let's be honest here, he's a bit crap for what were paying.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Right now, I can't see us wanting him in the summer, even on a free. Where ever he ends up he's going to have possibly the biggest wage reduction in PL history.

[algy]

I could see a situation where he’s taken a few months to settle in to our system, he’s just started to kick on in the last month or so, and we snap him up on a free (with reduced wages) in the summer.

If he doesn’t kick on, however, I think he’ll really struggle. Either back to the Bundesliga or some mid table Premier League club with more money than ambition.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

His best 45 minutes for us today. he actually looked like a PL footballer. Worked hard too.

[eamonn]

Thought he was one of our better players. This run of starts is helping him build some form. Wonderful movement and pass for Rogers' goal.

[JUAN PABLO]

Much better today . Links up well with Rogers , hopefully gets even better.

[Ian.]

He was our best player today, but faded along with everyone else second half. I’d have kept him on though and brought Bogarde and Maatsen on sooner for Digne and Dougie, who looked quite shot.

[Brend'Watkins]

Yes, he was good first half. I was screaming at him to square an easy pass into Watkins who could have got a shot away. Instead he blasted a pass along the 6 yard box with no Villa player in sight. That was so poor.

[PaulWinch again]

Top work for the goal.

[OCD]

He was better than Bailey, who just seemed to give the ball away every time he got it. Counting down to McGinn being fit again.

[Rigadon]

Ok yesterday. Better than Bailey but fuck me that’s a low bar
