Player Watch: Davinson Sanchez

[werty]

I mean, there were at least four situations where he got too tight to a player and was either turned or give away a silly foul. It's something Poch obviously couldn't get out of his game, but hopefully Mourinho will.

 

[SugarRay]

Two good games for him on the bounce. Delighted to see.

MOTM tonight

ball boy was our MOTM IMVHO

 

[allpaths]

Too bad he shouldered his big chance, for his ability in the air he needs to become a legitimate goal threat.

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

He was superb tonight. His pace and determination was impressive.

Keep faith

He was... at Ajax

The way he caught up to Podence to prevent the goal was amazing. He's definitely one of the 1st names on the team sheet if he keeps this up.

I think he has done fairly well in this little run of games he has had. Never going to be an elegant defender in the Jan or Toby mould and so can look uncomfortable at times but to be fair overall he has done a decent job in his last few games.

 

[spurs mental]

Very good again today I thought. And I'm not a fan of his at all.

 

[werty]

He defended very well, but was awful with the ball.

 

[spids]

I thought he was really good today too. Definitely a starter. His pace gives us some insurance.

Gets a lot of unfair critiscism . Not great on the ball but very quick and good in the air . Needs to impose himself more on the game .

 

[Primativ]

Very good today but he’s so poor on the ball.

 

[dtxspurs]

I like that he’s attempting those long cross field balls but I don’t think he completed a single one today.

 

[DJS]

Didn’t he seem a lot better a passer when he first joined us?

I‘m sure he was?

I've been critical of him in the past but to be fair he has been pretty decent in the recent games he has strung together. Seen him get criticism even recently which I think has been a bit unfair. Think a lot of it is due to him being very different to Jan and Toby, 2 defenders we've been brought up on over the last few years, who look refined in the way they do things whereas Sanchez can look more messy but imo no means less effective. Obviously he doesn't have the passing ability of either Jan or Toby which goes against him.

No he wasn't he just played short balls into Toby or Verts. I don't think his distribution is that bad tbf. I think there is a lot of confirmation bias with these things. Namely people remember the errors but not the good balls. Doesn't help that he is playing next to CB's who happen to be incredibly good on the ball.

 

[tiger666]

He's still only 23. Pretty young for a centre back.

 

[Spurrific]

Proper cute how he was pouring that ball boy a glass of water at the pre-match meal.
