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.
I love shit like that

I thought he was generally good last night. Apart from kicking it out of play

He was good, very assured. What pissed me off more than him running it out of play was a later incident when Ollie had done really well to beat his man, looked up to see no-one at all in the box and Jadon meandering goalward at a gentle jog.

I've said it before but what doesn't help him, and he can do nothing about, is that he isn't the type of player we thought we were getting, a thrusting but inconsistent winger, capable of occasionally burning past his marker, he's more a steady wide midfielder who keeps the shape and the ball. Meat and two veg.

This guy is an enigma. There's no way he justifies his huge salary but he teases you just enough to reveal there's a quality footballer hiding inside of him. He looks and sounds committed and if he accepts a significant drop in pay and Unai rates him I'd take the gamble of him being signed permanently on a free transfer.

Last night was much better, but I still wouldn’t want us to have him on a permanent deal.

My view would be if he can give us what he did in the second half last night for the rest of the season then it would be worth thinking about.

I felt a sense he was committed to being more direct last night, it took a while but it paid off. Hopefully encourages him to carry it on.

He was much improved 2nd half once we scored the first as room became available. First half he was his usual ineffective self, 2nd half, very good. But as you say, the kicking the ball out of play was weird for such a talented player.

I thought he was pretty rubbish for the first hour, then show cased in a twenty minute spell the player he clearly can be and we all hoped he would be.

More of that Jadon would be most welcome in the run in.

Did he mean that sexy little step-shuffle before passing to McGinn or did he get his feet knotted and struck lucky?
