I have to give Sanchez some praise as he has been ok in a three (stress three). He worries me because he does seem to be so uncomfortable on the ball and is scared of it. Jose called it out when he saw it before he was our manager too. That alone would worry me becuase generally as a rule south american players seem to be very happy to have the ball at their feet regardless of the position they play in. To an extent Royal is in the same boat he's not very good on the ball either.
Everytime Sanchez goes to head the ball I shat myself as it can end up anywhere..... he does seem to have a 50pence head as far as heading the ball is concerned.
But as long as he's beeing a steady eddie in a three it's ok. But the tsts will get harder and harder as the season progresses.

This is beginning to feel very black mirror. Maybe we are all just Sandy sock accounts just some of us don’t know it yet.
Romero should not think he can just walk back into the side to replace Sanchez. Sanchez deserves to start, so Romero should replace one of Duer or Davies, both are pretty average and with very little pace, so one could easily drop out if Romero is a nailed on starter.

Sanchez isn’t all that and I don’t believe his clean sheet run is especially down to him so much as him playing in games where we’ve been in good form against opponents that are poor in attack. Forest on Sunday for example were allowed into so many good positions but were blunt in front of goal, same could be said for the previous game against Wolves in which Sanchez played in. We had good fortune in both games. His biggest weakness for me is how poor he is on the ball - he cannot cope with being pressed and his ability to give the ball away time and again is astonishing. Him, Royal and Winks have been the worst culprits for that for us and it’s no surprise Winks has been got rid of by Conte and Sanchez relegated to the bench. Amazes me Royal is getting starts.
Sanchez is a good squad option for sure, and he has pace which makes a big difference, but he’s too error prone and poor on the ball to be a nailed on starter in any team that wants to challenge for major honours.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh and plodders like Davies and Dier are first team material. I would take Sanchez all day long over those two. They both have no pace, and also give the ball away a lot, and their distribution leaves a lot to be desired. A few blocks don't in any way make them better than Ssnchez.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dier is our strongest option in the middle of a 3, Davies and Lenglet are the left sided options - Sanchez could not play in either of those position so he’s not gonna oust any of them. He is the reserve option for the right sided CB position where Romero plays, when Romero is fit he starts and Sanchez will go back to the bench I can assure you of that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We will see I never get all the right side, left side nonsense. If you are trousering £100 grand a week. You should be able to play right, left or centre. Footballers that can only use one foot ain't really footballers.
