I don't know whether to thank you for drawing that to our attention or, more probably, not :smile:

Good post. Agree with all these points.

They have very dissimilar sets (ie Sanchez' is much larger, if we're talking about PL appearances). Also the stats aren't (I presume) taking into account the difficulty/quality of the saves.

Round WSU block A 'close him down' is our 'get into them'. I think that message is fine, and the players even indulge it for much of the game, but one of the key aspects of the current game is, if you play the high intensity 'close him down' and 'get into him' game throughout, energy levels will...

That pass to Ali Mac on c30 seconds is bold

Well, let me put a different perspective on the view widely expressed on this thread that it was Sanchez that was at fault for the penalty. First, it was a combination of Sanchez and Pervis that led to the penalty -- if Pervis hadn't tried to block Iwobi, pretty sure Sanchez would have got to...

Yes, the previous two posts. Not only was that a cracking save early in the first half, he came out and claimed a fair few corners when DCL had about his only start of the season. There aren't many goalkeepers in the PL I'd have ahead of Sanchez.

It's a toss up between that one, and the one he played to Cucu at Liverpool.

He's absolutely brilliant at dominating the box in the air and it's this that is the most substantial upgrade from Ryan.

We were up the other end, but it looked like two or three world class saves in there by BBS. That said, he's going to Newcastle for £20m :cry: :lol:

At least one poster has sufficient self-awareness to recognise that their views about our players, etc say as much if not more about the fan/poster as it does about the player under consideration.

Big Bob is known as Safe Hands Sanchez in our house... ... which brings me on to a few who have stated that he makes them nervous with the ball at their feet or when claiming crosses. I'm the polar opposite. I've never been so reassured by a keeper, and the upgrade in our defensive calm is there...

Yes, you did post this, and it shows Big Bob's strengths. I think he's brilliant, I also think he hasn't been quite at his best for a month or so now: his kicking and distribution certainly seems to have deteriorated.
