VdB passing on the other hand looks crisp.

 

[adam cool dude]

Lol.

 

[Robbo]

What the hell was that from AWB, not deliberate but out of control.

 

[The Running Man]

Standard brainless play there. Needless challenge.

 

[Shamikebab]

How is that a red?!? His foot is barely raised, it's not two footed.

 

[fez]

Oh wow. Red.

That feels harsh. Wasn't dangerous. Wasn't out of control, the other guy just got there slightly before him and planted his foot.

 

[omnomnom]

I’m only on bbc commentary but they commenting about Sancho not being able to beat a man a lot

 

[adam cool dude]

Going to have to dig deep now.

Sancho off already. That's gonna hurt him.

Thankfully he's been subbed.

To be fair Dalot has already done more than he managed in 40 mins. A worrying start for the young man.
We've been sloppy. Pogba is strolling in a game that demands more work at least it wasn#t van der Beek who got hooked.

Dortmund laughing all the way to the Bundesbank

I think with Sancho it is all a little overwhelming for him making the step up. He obviously has the talent but needs to get himself settled.

 

[manic111]

Looks a clear red to me. He jumps in and lands on the guys ankle. It's as bad a tackle as the one on Elliot, although thankfully with less bad consequences

 

[Robbo]

Still very early days for Sancho, not all great players hit the ground running.

He looks quite smooth on the ball but dithers too much and has a poor final ball at the moment.

 

[explicit4u]

Wouldn't worry about Sancho, he has all the talent, not every player is going to start as they mean to go on.

At least give him a season to settle in.

Most great players do hit the ground running.

Ronaldo, 2 goals on 2nd debut, zlatan, goal on debut.

Rooney, hattrick on debut.

Bruno won MOTM on his debut vs Wolves.

Sancho has played 3 full seasons for dortmund and we paid a fee if nearly 80m. I would expect much much more.

 

[adam cool dude]

Just to think back in the day this wasn't even a card!

I also remember the way he got subbed straight away which is a pure admission of guilt. Lol

It quite simply varies. I agree he hasn't been great, but writing him off now is just daft.

 

[The Running Man]

Vdb for Varane?

Ole going for 5 at the back which has been terrible for us every time it's been attempted?

If someone hasn't reach their position with reasoning then you can't persuade them off it with reasoning.
