How many players in recent memory have so spectacularly torpedoed their own career as Sancho? He was hyped to be one of the top players of his generation and instead, he puts in no effort, gets given plenty of time and space, then pubically insults his manager at the very lightest criticism and refuses to back down.
the problem for any of those clubs is that he’s only recapturing his form if they can get him to sort out his attitude and approach to his fitness, that’s a massive risk.
Ref is having an absolute disaster of a game.
Honestly, when you look at that back four its pretty staggering we’re doing as well as we are. On paper at least I suspect that’s the worst defense in the top half of the table.
I wonder if he hit that point that so many young men hit where they go from being able to eat whatever they want, drink, barely sleep, and still run around with endless energy to suddenly feeling tired and putting on the weight. Happened to most of us in our 20s where all of a sudden our physical fitness depends on our lifestyle choices.
Disagreeing with your manager about what best to do on the pitch and how much effort you’re putting in only really works if you’re consistently playing well. Sancho has never looked anything above average in a united shirt, under 3 managers. If you want to go against what the manager wants you have to be a proven top player with good will in the bank. Sancho doesn’t.
Nothing shows the bias of this sub than when a united player/manager says the exact same thing as Liverpool/city/Chelsea.
