[Albion] Should Sanchez have saved that?

Twas a flap for the OG, no denying it. But overall I think he's done really well. If there were a competent set of officials in place (big ask, obvs) then he'd have had a superb assist for the Trossard 'goal'.

The OG was unfortunate, but the ball does take a deflection which actually takes it closer to him, which made it more challenging. Should have definitely done better though.

One additional question for me on that goal was Solly’s role in letting the player come inside. Similarly, although Burn was unlucky, given he was on the right post set-piece, who was supposed to be covering the left side where he would/should have been? Surely, they practice rotation during the week?

A shot gets rifled at you from 12 yards and takes a deflection and you save it . . . Unfortunately it deflects of a defender and goes in. Bad luck.

I don't suppose there are many keepers on the planet who would have caught it even if it hadn't taken a deflection. You'd never try and punch a shot at you like that, an open hand is twice the size.

All three of our goals conceded today were down to poor defending.

Yup. Almost all goals in football are scored from defensive mistakes.

I think your second point raises another issue all by itself.
We’re questioning whether our utility LW,LWB should have properly defended the cross which was deflected towards our u23 keeper (until very recently) who parried it into our out of form and out of position centre back

My feed laid much of the blame on Bissouma.
Sure March didn't close him down and put the fella on his weaker foot, exactly the same as the Arsenal goal conceded in that one glorious home WIN.
But Bis was in no man's and stayed there.

I didn't say mistakes, although DB's tackle could be deemed as one. I said poor defending.

.....or the 4 statues in the box that gave Lacazette enough time and space to roll a fag before he shot. Dunk and Webster most at fault.

This - apart from the goal against Leicester I don't think Ryan was directly responsible for a goal. I don't think it would matter who we had in goal at the moment, our defensive frailties are exposed for all to see time and time again!

Decent coaches will know how to expose this and judging by our recent results, when we have frequently had more of the possession, they have!

Yes, just seen MOTD, very lazy by Bissouma. March still not close enough though..

Sure Sanchez should of done better with the 2nd goal , but the whole defence , and the defensive system is awful and needs to be addressed

CliveWalkerWingWizard · Jan 3, 2021

I really don’t get the criticism for the 2nd the shot had power and was deflected.

Normandy seagull · Jan 3, 2021

I think we need to loan in another experienced keeper as an option and loan Walton and sell Ryan

vagabond · Jan 3, 2021

I’ve never actually been a fan of punching the ball out, this sort of error is always possible.

But Sanchez is still on an upward trajectory and has been class since playing in the team, so no concerns from me.

Its a weird fascination with trying to blame any goal on a keeper.

Napper · Jan 3, 2021

Benefit of doubt as it took a deflection.

Have seen him flap and punch into play couple times now.

Hope its not a touch of the ankergrens

Okay, this thread is in direct response to one which originally had the same title regarding Maty Ryan and him being beaten for 25 yards out down to his bottom left away to Spurs. That thread title finally got changed because every game it would be bounced and some posters would think that the original post was about that days game.

It’s a bit petty to start a thread about Sanchez like this in my opinion. Of which of the goals which he has conceded so far should he have saved?

100% correct. Disgraceful to an honest young player starting his career. Ditto the nasty thread started about Connolly the other week.

Badger Boy · Jan 3, 2021

I think Sanchez is a little bit arrogant at the moment, he needs to focus on the basics. March dangled a leg at the ball but the deflection wasn't as bad as Sanchez expected, he could have reacted better and caught it rather than slapping it. It was an error, but it's also very unlucky. He's well in credit based on his performances to date and he looks commanding, confident and inexperienced. Two out of three are good, the other is inevitable!

This thread is definitely tongue in cheek (possibly petty) but it does show the hypocrisy of some of the posters who were slating Ryan at every opportunity but don't want to scrutinize Sanchez in the same manner.

Sanchez beaten at his near post. Should he have saved that?

So this thread should perhaps be renamed Robert Sanchez Analysis & discussion?

Ridiculous isn't it.

All the pathetic two-facedness of it does, for me, is assume all their other opinions are equally shallow and pointless.
