For me what Sanchez brings in a directness when he gets the ball, he is always looking to go forward, not back or sideways. It great to have him and it will improve all our forwards, the movement will be great to watch when Pogba and Martial are included. On another note great to see Carrick back and young Gomes reminded me of dare l say it Ronaldo when he first arrived just a pity he didn't get more game time. I think we have stepped up a level with our new signing.

You played Yeovil now yous are world beaters! Deluded.

27 Jan 2018 02:14:13
He also brings much needed energy. He is tenacious, if our other players can lift the urgency in their play we will be a good team to watch. Pressuring defenders, making them make mistakes.

I'm also excited about seeing Shaw linking with Sanchez, there will be a lot of space created because of Sanchez, he is careful with the ball as well, so rather than Martial/ Rash on the left who are hit and miss with their use of the ball and timing of runs there could be a good relationship out there.

I hope Martial can switch to the right and adopts the passion/ tenacity that Sanchez has.

Dublin get back in your box you won’t get higher than 6th place with your geriatric manager.

Agree beastie, shaw and Sanchez is potentially deadly on that left flank. Personally I would put Sanchez right but if Jose puts Sanchez on the let it hope martial plays centrally behind Lukaku. We have options and I am buzzing to see what Jose has in mind for our attacking talent.

Dublin I love Arsenal but second only to ManUtd.
However on last night’s game, do not look down on Yeovil. The are hungry and passionate. Playing is not easy in the first half as they are not your regular diamond cut PL kind of team with big names. They are rough in the edges and yet tackle hard, in fact very hard and rough. It is difficult playing then if you value your legs. Sanchez was hit hard and so was Rojo. But we survived through it and the team played differently in the 2nd half and with a different game plan we won.
If Arsenal were to play then I am sure there will be shouts of bad refereeing and lower league team and roughness - the usual complaints from Wenger. So I’d give compliments to Yeovil where due but more compliments to our team for coming back strong.
Good game and good intro game for Sanchez with the team. Once Sánchez gets used to the way the lads styles I am confident the teamwork will be there and game will be fluid. Next game will be good rest on how fast Sanchez gels with the team.

Typically disrespectful Dublin, Yeovil put a lot into that game and frustrated us for a large part of it.

Ironically you are "it's only Yeovil " and that the exact kind of game your flimsy team would have lost.

27 Jan 2018 11:06:53
Didn’t they get knocked out by only Forest 😂. Sanchez work rate has obviously had an immediate effect on the team, post match Herrera was praising how he works hard to get the ball back irrelevant of who lost it. A genuine world class player working hard can only lift the other players to that level as they have no excuses when Sanchez is putting in that shift. Bring on spurs.

27 Jan 2018 11:54:35
Disturbing how a troll gets more replies than the initial post which was a good one, and fully agree with Redcon.

27 Jan 2018 12:26:40
I fully agree beast. Good point.

26 Jan 2018 22:57:52
Great to see Sanchez. Clearly the instructions were to get him the ball primarily to give him his first experience within a new team and structure, and then to see what he could do. While his overall performance was excellent there were 3 or 4 occasions in the first half when his through passes seemed to be to no one, and I wondered whether this was because of the type of runs he's used to after his time at Arsenal, where the general style seems to rely on more intricate passing schemes, with runs in front of the defenders, as opposed to direct running into the spaces behind the defence. As with all great players, as the game wore on, he adapted to his teammates better and better.

26 Jan 2018 22:08:59
A quick cameo but I couldn't help think that young Gomez can learn so much from Alexis. Miles apart at the moment but in three to four years young Gomez may well benefit from Alexis influence.

26 Jan 2018 22:20:02
He really looked good in that run but unlucky as it hit the side netting, he will learn a lot just by being around the first team more often.

26 Jan 2018 22:01:44
Wow!

Some player that Sanchez. Forget about his quality, his work rate is immense!

A lot of you won't be happy but I think he'll play from the left with Martial on the bench. As much as I admire Martial he's just witnessed the standard tonight, not only on the ball but the drive, determination, intensity and work rate required to be one of the very best. I think Sanchez linked up well with Mata and with Lingard at 10 we'll have plenty of movement, pace and intensity behind Lukaku.

The team against Spurs will be fascinating!

26 Jan 2018 23:08:12
Sanchez will be better driving through the middle. He can play behind the striker and Martial in his usual position. And they can interchange positions throughout the game. For me Martial brings something extra as in he can drive to the byline and then cut back for players like Sanchez and lukaku running in. Sanchez on the other hand can take on players through the middle and pick up passes. With Pogba and Sanchez both able to beat players and having good vision it'll improve the overall game.

Martin keown what a weapon. Bitter bitter bitter.

26 Jan 2018 20:43:08
Totally agree what a tool keown is.

26 Jan 2018 20:44:14
Yh he's such a tit, not expecting north korea style pro united propaganda but he can cheer up a bit. Hope everything is alright with his personal life, could be a bit of depression.

26 Jan 2018 20:46:54
I absolutely hate the bloke he has a face for radio and a voice for silent movies.

26 Jan 2018 21:26:07
Even the wife has commented on how he contradicts himself. He hates Sanchez bitter has been.

26 Jan 2018 21:55:57
The most biased anti united commentator on TV.

26 Jan 2018 22:23:23
He's always been a twonk. If I'd been van Nistelrooy or on the pitch with him I'd have sparked him out an took the red.

26 Jan 2018 23:17:33
He slated Sanchez the whole time he was on the pitch then gave him motm. A very salty individual.

27 Jan 2018 04:22:52
He’s a tool lads. I missed the game anybody able to fill me in on the rubbish he was spouting? Looks like Caesar from planet of the apes.

27 Jan 2018 12:03:57
Basically criticizing every move Sanchez made throughout the game.

26 Jan 2018 10:02:26
Sanchez drug shock. What are them papers going to come out with next.
Sanchez missed drug test on the day of his transfer. come on he can't be in 3 places at one time. And was he an arsenal player at the time, I'm sure he didn't do it deliberate.
Why anyone buys those rags is beyond me.
I'm glad I have this site for all my football information. And ed001 for his daily news on football better than any of them rags.

{Ed001's Note - thank you Leahy. I saw the headlines this morning as I was doing that round up and thought it was hilarious the way they spun it to make it sound like a real big deal. This is the 3rd case this season, neither of the other two made back page headlines.}

26 Jan 2018 12:20:39
It’s ridiculous isn’t it Leahy. I expect apocalyptic headlines tonight if we labour to a win.

26 Jan 2018 12:46:18
I expect the ‘Yeovil’s entire squad cost x’ ‘ united squad cost this with the addition or £100m Sanchez’
Only transfer in history that you include all wages and fees in, £57m Laporte and that’s it, makes you laugh.

26 Jan 2018 14:58:59
Nobody has batted an eyelid at how much city are paying for Laporte. They have spent close to £200m on mangala, Otamendi, stones and soon to be Laporte yet united have ruined football paying Sanchez £350,000 a week for a premier league proven world class player. Clearly we are getting under the skin of the media.

26 Jan 2018 17:27:50
Sensationalism and 'fake news' is the order of the day i'm afraid. It what drives this generation of teens to early 20's . Of course not everybody but the majority.
The thirst for instant news and 20 second updates is insatiable apparantly and the ease that a story made up in someone's bedroom and can be a worldwide rumour within 5 mins without any comeback for spreading lies. It's laughable.

26 Jan 2018 18:11:29
I agree Ken it's a joke. Updates, clickbate, and the stupid headlines they come out with.
There should be fines in order for false news.

26 Jan 2018 19:31:33
It’s not a new phenomenon. “A lie can travel half way round the world while the truth is putting its shoes on. ” Mark Twain.

26 Jan 2018 22:01:36
I like that one rwwd.

26 Jan 2018 06:15:02
{Ed's Note - we have posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 26th January 2018

26 Jan 2018 07:27:18
Nice review Ed. 👍
Impressed with Rangers having so many signings!
Thanks 🙏 for info.

{Ed001's Note - thanks mate. Odd one them making so many signings when Celtic fans are constantly telling everyone they are about to go into admin.}

26 Jan 2018 09:38:15
Apparently there was signs before the new year but obviously with the new signings ed they are keeping their head above water. They keep getting cash injections.

{Ed001's Note - the signs seem to have all been coming from Celtic fans though. Yes they are currently under a new board who have been making cash injections into their investment, as is usual when a new owner takes over a business. How much did Man City owners inject to get the club financially viable? They are still injecting cash now, but it does not mean admin is on the way. I have no idea if it is in Rangers case either, but neither do Celtic fans, they are just desperate to believe otherwise and believe any old crap if it is anti-Rangers.}

26 Jan 2018 12:26:02
Yeah it's a push from the Celtic fans, not surprising though as there is real hatred there.

{Ed001's Note - it is sad to be honest. They are fighting over things from the 17th century! It makes me cringe when I see it.}

26 Jan 2018 14:43:39
Problem is, a lot of them don't even know what it is that they are really fighting about.

26 Jan 2018 19:34:29
When you don't live in Glasgow or Belfast ye can't understand so ed 1 and angelred it's proper hatred but thank God it's football hatred and nothing else anymore as long as it stays like that who cares.
