Player Watch: Davinson Sanchez

[Joshua shepherd]

I like that we're in Davinson's sixth year at Spurs and his career here is nicely condensed into the last 3 games of the last season against 10 men Arsenal, Burnley and Norwich.

I like that he's 26 yo (playing in a position that doesn't peak until late 20s/early 30s) and on his 4th manager with us (2 of which were shambolic) and people are writing him off.

I'll weigh his time under Conte heavier into consideration of his potential more than his time under Jose and Nuno. (what a mess of a sentence that is. me speak english?)

I think he is a very luxury and good 5th CB as a sub. And he seems to be satisfied with his role, which is a really good thing

I like that too, I wasn't writing him off I just think it's funny that people continue to reference those three fixtures like he hasn't played in games where we've conceded.

As a back up he is capable imo. I do think we have a tendency to overrate our players though and as a result a back line of Sanchez, Dier and Davies is not at the level we want to play at. It's not their defensive abilities as such, it's their inability to receive the ball under pressure and make the right pass.

Played well today.

 

[wrd]

Thats our (arguably) 5th choice CB putting in yet another solid performance, was the main presence for the final 20 minutes.

Well done Sanchez, so often unfairly maligned. To me it was obvious he should start.
Last four games, four wins, 10 for 0 against. There was no big drop off from Romero as so many wrongly claimed.

Everyone crying that Romero is injured, but time and time again Davinson has proved invaluable. Not nearly as calm or technical, and I do admit the build up is a lot more basic and shaky without Cuti, but I’ll happily take the clean sheets. The Guedes moment head scratching, but solid as a rock the rest of the game. The only thing he’s done since the new year is turn up and produce solid performances, so I was never worried about the individual player.

 

[Scot-Spur]

He is okay, just doesn’t look comfortable on the ball. He just needs to calm down on it.

 

[djhotspur]

He’s decent defensively just poor on the ball. That back 3 together are poor going forward. I think If dav plays lenglet needs to play so we have 1 ball player in there

I do think there's a significant level drop from Romero to Sanchez because Romero wins the ball so aggressively and has the ability to start attacks, to join attacks, he really is a key component of us being able to break teams down. However we are not going to get a player that's better than Sanchez to be a back up to Romero. We are very lucky to have Sanchez as an understudy.

Think there was, but that's because Romero is so good in many areas that are important to our play. I agree that Sanchez did fine as cover today.

 

[bbunc]

Not shabby as a 5th CB. Defended well. I’d be ok not seeing him and Hugo try to play tiki taka on our own goal line, but it does add a bit of comic relief to the weekend.

Completely disagree, there definitely wasn't a big drop off.

Yep agree, can't stand the to me, to you with Lloris and defenders

Exactly, I like Romero and he is rightly first choice
But he gives chances to the oppo in a different way.
4 clean sheets i our last six games, all with Sanchez starting
I'm not blaming Romero for the goals conceded, but we've seen a few occasions where he's given needless fouls away, sometimes risking a red

 

[JCRD]

Did well, thats why I wasnt worried with the whole Romero being out. Made one small mistake which hit his back but overall defended well - if anything, a blessing in disguise because we looked assured at set pieces

Sounds better if you say 2nd choice RCB imho.

 

[H-SF]

He’s a really good defender. On the ball however it’s woeful.
