Sancho has shown excellent linkup. What has he done wrong to warrant the abuse here?

I would love to know how whoscored rates players at times. I see it occasionally with McT as well. He's having an awful game, but has a good score. Maguire has been one of our worst players.Top half from Bruno. Eriksen great too and Antony and Martial have been lively.
Sancho needs to either be more direct and penetrative or more accurate with his short passing. Ideally both. He’s not contributing at the moment.
Maguire a disaster and a big concern for the second half with no option off the bench. Lindelof doing really well.
Need to try and avoid conceding many corners or we’re going to get punished.
A mixed bag but if we get through the second half unscathed it will be a big result after other scores this weekend.
by miles... he's much better than some give him credit for. he's the carrick/rooney/ronaldo who's to blame for losing the FA Cup final in 1979, as well as the vietname war and vesuvius eruptingWe need to come out quickly here and not do our recent sleepwalking the first 10 mins after half time
Erik..That maguire pen was 50-50 decision. Glad it went our way.Casemiro looks like the midfielder who’s coming back from a bad injury, rather than Eriksen. He’s been very sluggish. Needs to get in the game more. Thankfully Eriksen and Bruno are making up for him at the moment, but I can’t see Eriksen lasting 90 minutes.Missed the first half, how've we been?
Asleep? Are you sure you werent asleep? Martial has done just fine today
Wonder if aerial duels won has a big swing for defensive players on their algorithm?Played well in 1st half. A shame we're not ahead by more. Bruno and Eriksen have been excellent. Also very happy with Dalot and AWB. De Gea's distribution very good today. Martial linking up well. Sancho the only one who's really underperformed. Nobody to replace him unfortunately. Need to score more early in 2nd or it could slip the way it did against Sevilla. Positive stuff though.
Actually, its Eriksen, who is rightully our best player. Its also based on stats and he has defended well despite the early booking.You can just see the class Casemiro and Eriksen bring. They've bypassed the entire Forest press by going over the top with one touch long passes multiple times. It's criminal how long we've neglected the midfield.
If we had any pace up front we'd kill this off in the second half easily. But for now it's still nervy as Forest will get at least one good chance. We need more goals and we need them fast as Martial's inevitable substitution will casue our chance creation to plummet.
Every time he gets the ball he either gives it away or does a couple of predictable tricks then passes it backwards. He is utter shite.Martial is barely match fit but he's blatantly in a different class to Antony and Sancho.
Bruno, Eriksen, and Casemiro have also been good. Lindelof was also decent.Bruno, Eriksen and AWB have been really good. Antony has grown into the game.
The only player I would say is playing badly is, unsurprisingly, Sancho
Not great not terrible. Bruno and Eriksen created enough chances but our defense, Maguire especially, is very suspect. Lindelöf has done well though.
Casemiro needs 4-5 games to get going. On the other hand, Eriksen just gets on with it.Really good that. Better finishing or players being in the right spot at the right time and the game's over.
Why not just Rashford?How many more games til the end of the season? The Chuckle Brothers make me feel so nervous every time the ball goes near them. Lindelof isn't too bad when paired with a competent partner e.g. Licha or Varane but the 2 together is squeaky bum time every time. We need to take advantage of other results going our way this weekend
100%. Having him and Casemiro makes our midfield class. Ashame age isn’t on their side.
Bruno had a great shot saved.
Antony jerking around with his left.
Sancho weak as feck and devoid of confidence.
Martial getting molested but our only goal came from his only agressive movement.
Eriksen good.
AWB good.
Lindelof best.
Harry the usual shit.
He just seems so weak on the ball, when he's under pressure, he doesn't seem to be able to extract himself from the pressure, either by skills, or by passing.Martial didn’t score but he’s always contributing to our buildup and chance creation. Quality player when fit
No strength;
Dithering on simple plays;
Low threshold for pain;
No desire to get stuck in;
No penetration in his game.
He won't get anywhere good in the Premier League if he doesn't ditch his vanilla brand of football. So far he is the Tom Cleverley (M. No Penetration) of all wingers.Sancho and Maguire not doing themselves any favours so far.
Bruno and Eriksen have run the game, Martial making difference up front as well. Bit worried that two of those will probably only play 15-20 mins of 2nd half as we look shaky at the back and not much quality coming from wide players.
No, don't think it will be that soon.
Only Elanga, he's at least faster than Sancho but wouldn't offer more than that probably.
Fred (and maybe Weghorst) are our only useful options from the bench I'd say. Plus Pellistri though don't expect Antony to go off.
I'd expect Weghorst for Martial at some point and Fred for Sancho with Bruno going to LW position.
You know he made that pass to Bruno who made the shot that ended up with Sancho missing a sitter?
Yes, he's been excellent at passing the ball backwards to our full backs.
It’s almost as whoscored’s ratings don’t show that much…
Yeah, feels like Williams is getting the better of him more often than not.
He's hasn't been bad, you just want more.
Existing?Bruno, Eriksen and Casemiro how I’ve missed you
Why do you consider matchday thread posts serious? You wont find any decent posts in matchday thread. Only knee jerk tantrums.Eriksen is fantastic. He and Bruna are great pairing if Casemiro is behind them.
God knows what the consensus in here is but I think we've been excellent going forward, very positive, lots of good situations, could have had three or four. Erikson and Bruno running the show. They've created feck all apart from set pieces, where they're genuinely dangerous.- Status
