Yes he did!.... awful player!
Loose Cannons, all three of them, not good enough for this level. Sanchez should never play again!

Real mental weakness in some players still. Not sure it can be coached out.

once again, same as Newcastle the ref falls for a player falling over and gives a free kick, again we’re punished. What is winks doing not smashing that away?
Mourinhos fault. Yes, you can blame Sanchez, Sissoko and others for their mistakes, but in the end its Mourinhos mentality that's causing this. We get too passive and invite our opponents. They get free kicks, corners and can put pressure on our weak centre backs that can't dominate their own box. We have seen it over and over again. Look at the goals we have conceded so far. 5 from set pieces, 1 own goal and only 2 from open play (3 with the OG). If we keep playing this will not happen.

We all saw that coming at the start of the second half, awful performance

CBs weren’t really the problem. One goal was Sissoko falling asleep, the other a wonderstrike. The problem was they overloaded us down the flanks 2nd half.

3 nil up and we shit the bed with 12 minutes to go, with the amount of professionals on the pitch you'd think they would manage the game better
Sanchez is a liability and always has been , no matter how good he plays there is always a mistake in him. Also Aurier just gives away so many needless fouls its ridiculous. I dont care how good we are in the front a shitty defensive line will get us nowhere. Liverpool are a prime example of this the past two games.

It’s really frustrating but it comes down to mentality again for me. Teams that are ruthless and win trophies close those games out.
The defending was awful from the start, i was calling it and im sure many others were calling it. The thing is when you come out in the lead and coast youre going to get bitten... we have consistently had issues where we perform for one half. It was a poor second half from us. Not sure what Jose said to them but based on that he was like make sure we get a clean sheet now and manage the game, but not in this sort of game.

To be honest what Winks does in that last third goal is a cardinal sin. It's 10 seconds left. The ball has to be cleared - You don't drive the ball towards the middle trying to dribble past players.
Lanzini doesn't score that again even if he had 10,000 tries. But once again it's those late fouls that kills us. Definitely still room for improvement.

First two sure, and that's not reactionary. They've largely been poor for a while, bar Sissoko 18/19 and Sanchez's first season. Stevie's been here 10 months so calm down there. just off an injury. 22 yo dutch international not good enough based off of one performance v. west ham sureeeeee. First start in the league all season. Give him a break. goals v city and united. knows how to use the ball. Most of hs involvement was him being used as a target man this game, dunno why.
