It seems everyone except Man Utd fans are using the word excellent debut. He was humble in accepting MOTM. He is home at the club he grew up cheering for.
Jadon Sancho - Chelsea (loan) watch (Dog status: in him)
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date
Why would it be funny for me as an individual so say easily pleased to a comment calling a meh performance excellent? Tribalism is really strong with this one
Hang on what? He got player of the match 
Time to stick this on ignore. The delusion is already too much to take.
He didn't need to run past anyone, just draw people to him when dribbling and play clever passes. Twice to Cucurella down the line, and two more into the box after dribbling. Also the ability to retain the ball when surrounded was a breathe of fresh air compared to Madueke/Neto/Mudryk's constant turnovers.
I have Chelsea fans saying he was ok. Anyway thats fine if you think he was excellent. He will do very well if this is the expectations for him
Loving the Sky Sports headline of "Nkunku & Sancho combine to give Chelsea win". When have they feck mentioned the assist in a win.
Harsh to include Madueke in there; he was pretty good at retaining possession today especially since Disasi kept playing him suicide passes
one jammy goal and the tacticos are out in full force
Chelsea haven't seen a performance like it
Thought he played well to be fair. Doubt it lasts given his personality but he played well.
When it rubs it in uniteds face.
He’s getting a whole section from the pundits. He played what 20 mins.
As someone said earlier, he might have a few decent games early on at Chelsea and then revert to type. End of the day he hasn't got the bollocks to play for a big club.
Aside from the assist, he played quite well. It was a good debut, nothing to get over excited by obviously a good start for him.
As someone with ADHD, Jadon's characteristics and background seem consistent with it. No doubt he'll shine at Chelsea for a while but one the novelty factor wears off and dopaminergic response plateaus, he'll return to behaviours old.
FC 25 is out soon isn't it? Some late nights ahead for Sancho.
Pundits praised him for his Dortmund spell as well, when he was mostly completely average. Mostly.
Anyway, he did play well. But I'll bet my left nut he's never going to be a starter for a title winning Chelsea team. He'll show his true colors in time.

The way sky are talking he just played like prime maradona. They’re still talking about him now.
I think he'll be a good player for them generally, and not just at the start.
He won't be asked to press too much, and get plenty of the ball with an emphasis on retention so he's a better fit there.
Just don't get upset about it

Personally, I don't think they're making much of the performance. Just saying it's a good start and he needed to start well.
I didn't see the first half, so can't say whether he deserved the MOTM but he was probably the best player in the 2nd half.
I've decided to only watch the game itself now. No punditry, radio phone ins or chat. It really has helped my sanity not watching or listening to drivel.
Sky sports are cnuts.
There's another one for them.
Come on at halftime.
Nobody on Chelsea played well in the first half. Sancho was the most threatening player in the second half. I don’t think anyone from Bournemouth particularly stood out either. I think the MOTM was fair enough, though a low bar as I thought it was a pretty poor, low quality game overall.
Cucarella was actually the most threatening player.
You're crying about every player that leaves Chelsea. Stop embarrassing yourself. You can still be a good player even if he leaves your favorite club. Shitting on the player that was instrumental to you winning the Champions League is quite something.
They don't care if you think that, so long as you keep watching.
I don’t think so, thought he was good in the second half too.
Sanchez I thought if I had to pick someone. Even without the pen save he made a few good stops.
Hes not a great player. Could never put my finger on it but he's been this way since his first stint at Dortmund.
He's a player that looks like he can make things happen, that looks like he'll beat a man, looks like he's going to do something with the ball.
95 times out of 100 hell cut back and pass to a midfielder or a FB if they've not overlapped. But every now and again he'll pop up with a goal or assist.
The assists was bang average and more to do with tired legs defending than the pass. He's most definitely a downgrade to sterling but he's shiny and new.

TBF, Sanchez deserved MOTM. Saved penalty that was outstanding, a couple more very good saves and commanded his box well. Would have been different had that early Bournemouth screamer went in.
Oh feck, yeah true. Forgot him. On reflection, Sanchez probably should have gotten it. Not a huge deal though.
I mean he was one of the most productive wingers in Europe for consecutive seasons at Dortmund. There’s a player in there somewhere, just didn’t work out with/for us
He got the assist for the winner, unbelievable
Seems quite harsh on Sanchez who saved a penalty and made many other decent saves. What more could he have done to be MoTM in a 1-0 win?!
Not give away a brain dead penalty in the first place.
The pen save was excellent but apart from that, he didn't save anything I would not expect any goalie to.
Ahhh isn't it nice to remember the honeymoon period before it all ends in tears.
Think it was a really poor ball played back. Defender was clearly the guilty party.
He will revert to factory settings once FC25 is out or if he gets any criticism.
