He had been poor towards Arsenal within the previous sport, but it surely was nonetheless only one dangerous sport after an extended interval of optimistic contributions.
Filip Jorgensen got here in and did effectively, and we had been anticipating him to play tonight. However as a substitute, Rosenior fallacious footed us towards and introduced Sanchez again in. If this was an opportunity for the Spaniard to earn his Premier League place again, he’s blown it.
Whereas his mistake wasn’t as blatant as a few of his previous gaffes on the ball, it was an equally dangerous piece of goalkeeping. A easy punt up the pitch went over the heads of our defenders, and because the digicam panned we had been all anticipating to see Sanchez there to comb it up.
However he didn’t seem on the display – his beginning place was far too deep and he was backing up reasonably than advancing. He was in whole no man’s land, and Sam Smith was in a position to simply place the ball previous him. If Rosenior wasn’t certain about his expertise on the ball, he’ll now be frightened about this a part of his sport too.
