Yeah Sancho's issues are far more mentality related. Honestly if he had Antony's arrogance and aggression I think he'd be very good. But he's happy to let everything bypass him, not work particularly hard to improve now that he's "made it", and just approaches games as if he just doesn't want to be the one to feck up. Get some neat touches in, maybe a nutmeg, keep the passing simple, don't take any risks. It's like he plays football as if he wants to always look cool so he's reluctant to do anything that might come off with him looking stupid. Never shoots unless it's wide open and if so he'll never just twat the ball, doesn't try to take anyone on repeatedly unless he's 100% confident he'll beat them, almost never trys to create with a moment of magic in his passing and would rather someone else have that burden. It's disgusing really.
Antony himself just lacks the skill and athleticism to make it as an attacker in a top 5 league. There's not much wiggle room for a 1 footed winger that doesn't create with his passing/dribbling and is an erratic finisher that takes a high volume of shots. And the thing that has always been the case with Antony is that it was never something where he just "needed experience or more time", it was obvious a month into his time here that he was quite limited in what he could do and those limitations weren't going to disappear.
