Jadon Sancho (loan)

[AV82EC]

Offered us absolutely nothing yesterday.

Best game in a while. Has to start v Lille

I knew you'd come around eventually bb.

[Duncan Shaw]

Beeb Gossip this morning saying Dortmund hope to convince him to have a 3rd spell there.  Hopefully that points to us not being interested in anything further.

[Hookeysmith]

Signing him full time will be a bigger fuck up than falling for Coutinhio and equally as expensive.

At least Phil offered a few bits of excitement whilst he was on loan

Total waster and worse of all bottler

[brontebilly]

Thought we might get some kind of tune out of him late in the season. Trying to secure his next gig. Jumping out of a tackle at Lille he was favourite to win in their penalty box!

[Steve67]

It seems all very sad and a sign of the need for a revamp if Sancho is getting into the side on a regular basis. Absolutely crap.

[PaulWinch again]

Brilliant assist tonight.

[Mellin]

He was excellent tonight. Loved the little Zidane roulette as well. The kid's ability is off the scale. Shame about the confidence(?). He's been slowly getting better all season though.

Seems to do better in Europe too. Cultured, ennit.

[Steve67]

Credit where it’s due given my post above. He was very good this evening. Keep it up!

[Matt C]

European games seem to suit him more, perhaps the slightly lesser intensity. He’s a bit of an enigma, clear talent and does some great things… then goes and makes a daft decision or takes a heavy touch.

Don’t for a moment think we’ll be signing him permanently but hope he has an outstanding end of season with us and gets his move to Dortmund.

[brontebilly]

Fine assist to set us on our way. Expected him to score the other one. Best game in a Villa shirt possibly.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Brilliant assist tonight.

Coached by Emi Martinez. 
Did you not hear his post match interview? It still has me smiling.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

When he kicked the ball out of play with half the pitch to run into I thought his confidence might have been dented but shortly after he took the excellent pass from Emi and laid it in a plate for McGinn.

Tonight he showed us what he can do and there was an end product which he hasn’t done enough of overall,

[cdbearsfan]

Played well. Well done Jadon.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

When he kicked the ball out of play with half the pitch to run into I thought his confidence might have been dented but shortly after he took the excellent pass from Emi and laid it in a plate for McGinn.

For those who haven't heard his interview, Emi spoke to Sancho at half time and said he'd spotted the space for Sancho to run into and he'd release the ball immediately into Sancho's path to run on to, so be ready. Sancho was ready, Emi delivered. Sancho put the ball on a plate for SJM. The fact Sancho went running back to to find Emi to celebrate rather than SJM says it all.

A wonderful and memorable goal.
