I rate Sanchez and imo and considering how all the players played all over the pitch, i blame Poch...
Or you’re not the best person to judge a young centreback...At which stage does potential become erm... realised? Surely Poch should be helping him to improve and realise that potential? Can you safely say Sanchez is better now than two years ago? I cant say for certain that is the case which then means one of two things
Either Poch cant help him realise his potential
or
Sanchez doesnt have the potential most of us think he has/had.
I think he is ok but it is obvious that when he plays the opposition target him as a weak point.
lol you don’t think he has potential???

Having watched both goals we've conceded at home this season I'm sadly reaching the conclusion that Danny Rose is the weak link defensively. Yes Sanchez could have done better but equally our midfield could do a way better job of screening the centre halves so that the opposition players don't have an age to pick out a pass over the top of our defence. Most importantly on Sunday Rose can see the picture and doesn't call out to Sanchez to re-position or come across to cover him, this was pretty much the same against Villa and while I love Rose I can begin to see why Poch wants to move him on. Davies is a better defender and reputationally at least (I haven't watched enough of him to comment directly) Sess is better going forward.
I still dont get this idea that when opponents run right down the middle of the park past our midfielders and CBs and score its primarily the fullbacks' fault.

That's probably why...That is just basic defending really, Rose should be on the cover and helping Sanchez out.
But all in all the whole team didn't defend that very well in all honesty
roll that back about two seconds and that right winger was much closer to Rose and then pulled up.
He wasn't at all, you can see it here, he wasn't even making a run, when Atsu had the ball Rose should have been sprinting to cover - Atsu had about 3 touches, it was obvious where he was gonna put it.
That would be interesting to see. It still looks like Rose should be defending the goal / space better.roll that back about two seconds and that right winger was much closer to Rose and then pulled up.
its unavailable in the states but I watched it elsewhere. there's a runner on the right that pulls up. there's only one guy in the middle for 2 CBs to contend with.
Again, to single out a fullback for not adequately backing up two defenders with one man to deal with strikes me as odd.
