Sanchez was poor yesterday and it was clear as day. Neutralised Abraham?? Abraham was their best player and got the better of Sanchez in near enough every duel they had. Sanchez also made a few mistakes that could have easily cost us (him fouling Abraham when it was a 1 on 1 situation and him passing back to Hugo not noticing Abraham lurking) and he was continuously fouling near the end.
I think everyone agrees he has been great since signing, against Dortmund he was fantastic. But IMO he was poor last night, was slow on the ball, got pick pocketed a few times and looked hesitant in the air a couple of times and that time where he went to bodycheck one of their players and completely missed and Carroll almost had a good chance off it. Added on that those silly tackles near the end when he had the ball one. But he is new at the club, not sure how much English he speaks and only been in the country a for four weeks or so so it is completely understandable and I can't blame, BUT I thought he was poor, just my opinion.Not sure where all this 'Sanhez was shit' rubbish is coming from. Have been to all 3 games this past week and have been impressed in all of them. Yes there were a few rash challenges at the end but overall think he's done well.
He's young, a bit raw, and is adapting to a different league. I agree that he had a few shaky moments and there looks like there might be a mistake in him, but name me any central defender who is rock solid at 21.
Overall, he looks like a good player with a lot of potential. I just find it a bit strange that Poch has him playing central of the three, given that's where most of the danger lies...
The main reason was not because our defence was outstanding. It was because swansea set up ultra defensive and had no intention of commiting anyone in an attacking sense hence not much chances.He was mustard yesterday! One miss timed shoulder. The TWO!! fouls he committed in the corner one was necessary as player had a free run into box, the other wasn't, so fucking what?!?!!
They had ONE fucking shot, and I can't even recall when it was, by who and if it was any good or not. The main reason for this is because our defence is outstanding and he's part of it.
Duh, not shit Sherlock. I'm judging him on the duties he performed, e.g. he won every headed duel, their only real outlet they had.The main reason was not because our defence was outstanding.

You can be the sarcy twat that you usually are but what you're saying is totally wrong. He got spun by Abraham a few times (one of the times he literally had to drag Abraham down) and commited fouls at the end. Our defence was "outstanding" my ass.Duh, not shit Sherlock.
