Jadon Sancho - Chelsea (loan) watch

As predicted he suffers when the form of the team drops.

Sancho's biggest issue in the league is intensity, he's very passive from a psychological point of view. Technically sound but absolutely a hindrance against opposition where game intensity is the deciding factor.

There is no leadership or dog him at all. You could be the most technically gifted player on the pitch but if you vanish when the going gets difficult that ability becomes virtually worthless.

He consistently fades when it isn't easy.
 
When your impact during games is very limited. You should really keep yourself out of the limelight as much as possible.

That tweet just made him enemy no.1 again for all the fans on twitter. Idiot has to scroll past endless edits of all his bang average games now.

Sancho worked hard for 2, maybe 3 seasons. At Dortmund.

On the back of that, he's had 4 years of doing very little, in fact for close to a year he was doing nothing at all, not even training with the big boys.

All while earning about 15 million a year. So 60 million quid, and the hardest he worked has been the last 6 months, when he has had to play nearly a dozen full games. I thought managers earning millions for being crap was the worst way football money was used, but this is even worse.

He had Hakimi behind him at right back, that probably helped his game alot and made him look better than he actually is.

Another of those myths. Please look up how long the two played together and for how long Sancho played impressively at Dortmund. Yes the two had a good partnership, but Sancho was there before Hakimi arrived and was still there when Hakimi left.

The broad tactical point is true that Sancho profited from full backs making overlapping runs and suffered when those weren't happening, forcing him to stay wide himself.

But it didn't matter much who that player was.
 
On a side note, it’s been said before but modern transfers between United and Chelsea never seem to go all that well: Veron, Mata, Matic and now Sancho (early days). I’m aware that Mata and Matic were by no means flops but they never recaptured their former level.

In a thread of pettiness, this has to win top prize for me. Imagine remembering this as being an event of importance and holding onto it?! :lol:

I'm not holding onto it, just said it's bit irritating. You want your team to win everything, right? Community Shield is basically meaningless but you'd rather win it than lose it.

You forgot Mount! It’s funny that he’s been so anonymous he even gets forgotten in a list of flops

Yeah, forgot about Mount.

You'd probably have to go back to Mark Hughes for the last transfer that worked out well between the two clubs (I think he did pretty well at Chelsea IIRC)

Falcao (although a loan one) was also a disaster one
 
John Obi Mikel really laying into him in his podcast - says "he tricked us with a couple of good games. We thought we were getting Jadon Sancho at the level he was at Dortmund, but now he's disappeared. He's vanished off the radar. He receives the ball but doesn't dribble past anyone, and is no longer creating chances".

He's not too happy with Maresca or Reece James either, but that's another discussion.

Yeah I've long said if he had the Bruno gene of "I'm going to affect this game one way or another" and just tried shit constantly, he'd probably be twice the player he is now because his natural skill with the ball is good enough to do so. Instead he plays as if he's trying to never get put into a "fail comp" or get any bad twitter clips of his performance, and is happy to approach every game like that.
