Player Watch: Davinson Sanchez

[slartibartfast]

Had a poor game today.

 

[King of Otters]

Had a poor game today.

Did he? I thought he bullied Mitrovic in the second half.

Did he? I thought he bullied Mitrovic in the second half.

I thought he did yes.

 

[ralvy]

Stupid from the ref to give him a yellow, he clearly walked away from Mitrovic and showed no signs of wanting to get into a fight.

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

Had a poor game today.

Disagree.

I’d say he had a poor first half, but had Mitrovic in his pocket the second. Massive performance in that massive 45’

Didn’t rise to Mitro’s BS either (despite what Craig Pawson’s brand of refereeing might say)

Had a poor game today.

How did you work that out?

 

[The Mourneview Ace]

Had a poor game today.

Half right. He had a poor first half, outmanoeuvred by Babel to give away a chance and generally shaky but in the second half he really turned it around and bullied Mitrovic to the verge of frustration. Physical beast but needs to be careful.

 

[slartibartfast]

How did you work that out?

Babel got past him like he wasnt there and kept giving the ball away.
He was better the 2nd half.

 

[Primativ]

Poor first half, excellent second half is about the sum of it.

 

[Flynn]

Anyone figure out his booking yesterday?

 

[southlondonyiddo]

Anyone figure out his booking yesterday?

Apparently got booked for making Mitrovic look like the complete and utter mug that he is unless he can bully you

 

[SirNiNyHotspur]

Anyone figure out his booking yesterday?

He disrepected Mitrovic when he turned his back after injuring Mitrovic's hands when his back collided with them, he also injured his leg when Mitrovic tried to kick the ball but Sanchez had the cheek to get in the way, fortunately Pawson was feeling kind or he could have seen red.

Seriously though when you're on places like RedCafe and Arsemania and they're saying how shit the ref was for us it gives you an idea of just how bad he was... (Him and Dean are probably the worst for us, you know they're going to give us nothing, sooner VAR in the better)

 

[spursrayray]

Sanchez always gets way too close to his man and gets turned over so often... Also, I don't think he's as rapid as people make him out to be, don't get me wrong he is fast.

 

[swarvsta]

What is the purpose of this comment? He came into an intense game with us on the back foot late on. He did pretty well I thought, and looked way more solid than Dier in the back 3.

Erm, if you are not that fast you stay close. It stops the person running at you.

 

[coys200]

At a guess I’d say our win ratio is better with him than without.

 

[St José Dominguez]

I find it confusing why there’s so much hype about Foyth (rightfully so) but a man only a year older than him barely gets any. He admittedly had a bad game at Palace but in the last few weeks he’s battled against three really difficult opponents in Mitrovic, Deeney and today Rondon and performed very well.

Sure he needs to work on certain things but what 21/22 year old CB doesn’t. I think he has everything and the potential to be one of the best CBs in Europe. His second season has been tricky at times but with being just 22, playing World Cup and a few injuries it’s hardly surprising.

We’ve got two stars in the making and in Sanchez and Foyth the future pairing after Toby and Jan depart.

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Sanchez was quality today; he looked quick and assured and generally kept Rondón, who usually slaps us about, at bay

 

[Stamford]

He's so young and he's already putting in performances like todays. Hope he sticks around for a long time because he's going to be one of the best in the world in his position.

 

[markiespurs]

He was really good today, had the difficult and physical Rondon in his back pocket all game.
