True story
Jadon Sancho - Chelsea (loan) watch

But you're happy when yours is 1" longer than average.
Yes
Omnipotent
Despite getting the day’s lowest effort assist to boost it as well. Only saw 30 minutes today but he was awful for that spell. Technique just desserts him when put under pressure.
Had a look at the numbers and the guy supposedly being really good for Wolves - who is supposed to be much better player - has only been marginally better than the guy who has been really bad for United?
It's telling that you're mentioning assists, a stat that relies on other players. The advanced numbers - and also just the basic ones - paint the picture of an unproductive player who isn't really particularly good in any way
If he turns out to be much better than Sancho, the latter would have to be diabolical, worse than he was for United...
Not sure on the left and not sure Maresca sees him there. But yeah, he might be
Weird if someone has edited it. Another app I use has Sancho as 3rd lowest rating. All over the place.
almost like ratings are completely subjective.
You said he had no end product when asking "in what way he was better than Sancho?". We replied with his goals and assists.
If you're not going to accept assists as a valid measure of end product, I'm not sure what discussion we're having.
You're indirectly admitting you didn't watch Wolves games, so you don't really know how good he is without looking at numbers on some stat website, a bit weird to suggest Sancho is better than him in that case. I don't think you'll find a regular PL watcher that thinks Jadon Sancho is better than Neto.
You're the one that said he is unproductive. 9 assists, 7 big chances created when he was injured for half the season is anything but unproductive. He makes things happen and was the most dangerous attacker for Wolves and performed in big games as well. I don't really understand what you're arguing if you don't consider assists as productivity.
Huh
I mean, end product mostly means goals. But whatever. The guy's best in PL is 11 G+A(twice) and both times heavily boosted by teammates finishing well from his passes, while he's a merely average creative passer as a wing-forward. Never scored more than 5 goals. He's an unproductive, oft-injured and utterly mediocre player who Chelsea might have signed more to do Mendes a solid than because he'd be in any way useful
Who Maresca sees on the RW, too. Be very surprised if he ends up benching Sancho
It looks as though the ones with him rated 7.3 are at the end of the match whereas the one at 6.3 is midway through, but after he’d been subbed off. Cucurella has a yellow in the second one, which he picked up after 70 minutes.
Don’t know why the ratings would change after he went off. Maybe he was shouting some really good words of encouragement from the bench.
Think of Sancho like Southgate’s England - statiscally good looking but just doesn’t pass the eye test.
Looked like the same player he was for us tbh.
Whereas Sancho's best in PL is 9 G+A (once).
I don't think anyone is suggesting Neto is amazing, merely that he's better than Sancho.
A couple of assists (one where the attacker had no right to score and made it all himself) and he’s suddenly an ok player again (per social media)?
Average player, poor attitude and give it a few games and Chelsea fans will start to see it.

I don't think he is, Maresca evidently doesn't think so right now, and as long as Sancho plays well - just well, doesn't have to be amazing - I don't see how he'd lose the starting spot to Pedro Neto
Yes it does actually.
Below average at best. Preferred to pass it back instead of progressive passes.
Ok chief.
Interesting
Interesting that you are dismissing him when nobody on your team has more than one.
Such a great point
He didn't work out here and parted, he angered many fans. Complete waste of money and a mismatched buy. Congratulations on getting him, nothing changes down the line, MUFC wasn't ruining him more than anyone else in the team. He lacks inner motivation more times than not. Enjoy your salary hog and hope he keeps doing shifts for you.
Don’t see the point in all the arguing. Let Chelsea buy him and let us be rid of him. He could score 30 goals this season and he’s still a waster because he’s a turd.
We’ve had some truly terrible signings but Sancho is at the top because of his attitude.

This actually sounds like an apt comparison.
It'll be interesting to get a second opinion from you a few months down the line.
Yeah, it is early days. Good start, but we will see.
Chelsea 3-0 already. He's really transforming them.
Hes not even playing?
I think he may be having a joke...
Yup and he's about as relevant to this Chelsea win as he has been to the last two games.
Haha true
Couldn’t even make the bench against Barrow. Clearly fallen out with the manager already.
