Sanchez is proper Jekyll and Hyde when it comes to performances. But it all depends on how we play. If we decide we don't want the ball and just keep inviting pressure, it doesn't suit Sanchez. But when we play on the getting foot, he is a lot more confident, even bringing the ball out. This is why he looked good in his first season under Poch (before being benched for no reason) but under Nuno and Jose he looked awful.It says it's his Team ranking? Didn't suggest otherwise
Squwaka doesn't let you split Nuno Sanchez from Conte Sanchez, but he's quite clearly our 2nd best performing defender (Dier close behind) behind Romero, per 90, in the league this season. Based on the Sky Sports stats, it suggests that the Nuno period is watering that down heavily (well, and our eyes, because he was shite under Nuno)

Sanchez needs cover from midfield. If he has it he shines, if he doesn't his weaknesses are exposed.Sanchez is proper Jekyll and Hyde when it comes to performances. But it all depends on how we play.

He's a hell of a lot better in a back 3, just like Dier and Davies. I'm still baffled as to why Mourinho and Nuno couldn't work this out. Regardless of that, I think he might be used as a bargaining chip in the Summer if the right deal comes along, assuming Romero nails down the RCB spot.
In a 3-man back-line, I am not sure the "pairing" matters.Somehow feels that Sanchez and Romero together lacks a bit of muscle. Would rather have Dier pairing with Romero.
I think we make a mistake if we do that. I would like to see Sanchez and Romero as the two main defenders and a young fast defender coming in and moving Davies on instead.
No we don't we have been reminded about his potential for 5 years.Still so young for a CB. Many forget.
