I slag him off a lot so I'll give him credit where it's due, what a pass this was

Maybe he should play it long more often.

Trigger warning - we scouted both Alisson and Mamardashvili long before Liverpool were interested. On both occasions we did f**k all!

I thought we were in for Allison but didn’t want to pay his release then spunked an extra 7 million on Kepa.

sh*te as usual, the best thing he did today was get a yellow which means he's suspended for the Brentford game.

No serious club would have the likes of Sanchez or Badiashielle starting important games.

Surely to god Maresca sees what the rest of the world sees soon?

My TV wasn't the best quality and for the first ten minutes I thought we'd picked Jorgensen. 

And then he sliced a ball out for a throw and realised we were still with Sanchez

90 minutes.

2 saves. 

-0.97 goals prevented

0 punches.

0 high claims.

1 Error leading to a shot. 

3/21 long balls completed.

21/40 accurate passes.

 

Once again i'm asking, HOW does he start every week?!

I would like to see Jorgensen against Premier League level competition first, though I do think he's up for it. Short of an injury Enzo is not changing keepers anytime soon.

Jorgensen played the full 90 against Southampton and did well enough. I know they bottom of the table but they have generally created goal scoring opportunities against most teams and our match was no different. Jorgensen made some decent saves.

It's like he didn't see Solanke and thought the cross was just gonna go across goal.

No one saw Solanke. Colwill thought Solanke was to his left and behind  him, Sanchez also looked and saw Colwill had Solanke on his left and then looked to see what Johnson was going to do,  but Solanke cuts to the right from behind Colwill at the last second, catching both him and Sanchez off guard. Sanchez dives to cover the area he thought Solanke was in, while assuming Colwill would actually deal with the cross . From Johnson b beginning his shooting stride, and swinging his leg to cross, up until the ball was in the net, was less than 2 seconds. 

Second goal, Kulesevski shapes to shoot left across the defence, which should really be his only shot with three defenders in front and right of him, but he cleverly shoots right, through the defender's legs, and leaves Sanchez grasping.

Thank God we have a manager from the football world in charge of our football team. If he thinks Sanchez is his man, good on him for ignoring lippy civilians. 😉

I actually don't think Sanchez was particularly culpable for either of Spurs's goals.  But I still wanted him hooked at half time.  The reason being his distribution is worse than my local DPD courier who regularly leaves my parcels with anyone with hair.

You just can't tolerate a keeper who regularly gifts chances to teams through poor decision making and that is exactly what he does.

Difference between Colwill and Sanchez is Solanke came up from behind Colwill, Sanchez saw the whole thing. Not that Colwill doesn't deserve criticism for allowing Solanke to get in front of him, he's a lot more to blame than Sanchez, but Sanchez has to see it and attempt a save. The second goal it came through a couple of players so probably saw it late.

His faith in Sanchez seems to be the biggest question mark Maresca has over him tbh. Barring the occasional game when he pops up with a big save he's proven time and time again he is not a reliable keeper. The fans know it and even the pundits know it. Sanchez is 27 years old, he isn't a kid that's making silly mistakes, the performances he puts in 80% of the time are nowhere near the standard we need to seriously challenge for the league and champions league

It's called riding your luck. Some of us know it's only a matter of time before it does cost us points.

Half full, half empty I suppose.

If Sanchez is focusing on Solanke, who he can't see in the last seconds because he is now crossing over behind Colwill, then he isn't looking at Johnson who may do anything at all. Johnson has the ball, Sanchez needs to see what is happening to the ball. His CB should have him covered for a near side cross, and know where the attackers are in relation to himself. Colwill doesn't, he lost Solanke by running ahead of him, instead of keeping abreast of him, and keeping him to the far side of the cross. Sanchez didn't dive that way because of a glitch in the matrix, he dived to where Solanke should have been kept. He wasn't . Don't be fooled by camera angles. Sanchez doesn't have them. He has one set of eyes about 6 feet up with a 140 dcegree view of the scene around him, off which only about 1% is in full focus. Unlike the armchair civilians, watching multi angle slow motion clips, while calling Sanchez an ass.

He doesn't need to focus on solanke, but he had zero awareness that he was there. Again, Colwill is much more to blame for the goal, I'd go as far as to say I don't really blame Sanchez at all, but the fact that he wasn't aware of Solanke being there is a bit poor because he gave himself no chance to save it.

He had every awareness that Solanke was there, but in the last second, as the cross came in, Solanke was where he should never have been allowed to go by Colwill. Watch again, you will see Sanchez clock his defender and Soloankes run,, he then looks to Johnson, and as the cross comes on dives directly to where Solanke should be if Colwill had defended correctly

By far his biggest weakness I think. His shot stopping and claiming crosses etc is not without flaw but it’s generally passable. So often he just slices the ball out of play or even worse passing to the opposition.

I agree with you on the first goal as i felt Colwill was culpable at the time. But the second goal, i still cannot work out how he got done there. His set is pretty good, he knows that Kulu only has two real options, bending the ball around Lavia and Sanchez moves very slightly to his right to cover this, or a reverse, possibly through traffic such as legs. Again his angles are not bad. The shot is more placed than thumped although it is fizzing along the ground, but you can tell by his body language immediately after, Sanchez himself felt he should have done better. 

The only thing i can think is that although he is set maybe his feet aren't fully planted and if he is mid hop on the balls of his feet perhaps that fraction before he pushes off is enough for the ball to sneak in. I thin most keepers would be expecting to get a big hand on that.

Honestly I am at the point now where my biggest fault on Maresca is continuing to pick him as our number 1, when he is clearly not good enough.

I wonder if Maresca is doing it to protect Jorgensen? Maybe he rates him but thinks the pressure of being our number one so early in his career could break him, so he makes do with Sanchez as Bettinelli is only here as he is reported to be a good trainer and good for moral.

Now I kinda feel sorry for Sanchez. Sort of reminds me of Jose insisting on picking Brana when we knew his body would not do what his brain and heart wanted him to do.

Unlike Brana is not Sanchez body that has gone, but he clearly does not have the focus to be a top keeper, and he makes that clear week after week with terrible passing and bozo moments.

December 2024 and people still trying to defend Sanchez starting for a team with ambitions. Crazy.
