Can’t be having the Saka comparisons personally. Sancho is a pathetic cowardly footballer who I sincerely hope I never see play for us again.

Agree. He's a spineless weakling and whoever has paid his wages this season has had their pants pulled down.

Although as the rules of football fandom go, if he scores the winner on Thursday, we all reserve the right to hail him as the 2nd coming.

I somehow doubt it would last

I really don’t see a hell of a player in him. 
I see virtually nothing in him.

I don’t buy the wasted talent stuff. He has really good control of a football and can deliver a nicely weighted pass sometimes, Im not sure thats enough to constitute talent and the Saka comparison is different orbits apart.  Also, as well as never wanting to be anywhere near a challenge, he hasn’t got the pace, strength or skill to beat his man. In reality a total nothing player.

I’d honestly rather have Bailey trying to beat his man and falling over, then ever having to watch Sancho again running on what looks like his tippy toes, before inevitably, weakly without effort giving the ball away. Please no, never again.

He's a tidy player when he has the ball, with a bit of space and no resistance, but for an attacking player he delivers little-to-no outcome.

Having played as much as he has for this, I'm surprised he hasn't manager a better goals/assists record simply by accident.

I'd rather see Garcia than either of them.

Every game I think this will be the one he steps up, only to be let down by him again and again. The right side is a huge problem when the choice is either Sancho or Bailey.

I rate him about as highly as I rate Nigel Callaghan. For the younger fans out there, that equates to absolutely shite!

The right side has been a problem since I don't know when, probably Robert Snodgrass. Snoddy was the complete opposite of Sancho on every level except wages. A beautiful player who despite being on loan really got us. Loved him.

I'm pretty sure every single steward at Villa Park would be more than a match for Sancho

Would have been a half decent idea if he'd had any sort of run in games, but I can't even remember the last time he made the bench.

He was on the bench for the Forest first leg.
