Presumably would be cool with sitting on the bench for Prem matches if we had an FA Cup final coming up?
SHOULD HAVE SAVED A F**KING PENALTY, MATE!!!

[Albion] Can we talk about Sanchez ?
- Thread starter The Seagull
- Start date
His bad attitude and face like a smacked arse would do the depleted but battle hardened squad no good at all so it’s best that he’s not around.
It was great to see the likes of Lallana, lamptey, Webster, Sarmiento (?) around the changing rooms celebrating with the players and helping the youngsters.
Sanchez would have been out of place.
I wonder if a deal has been done that only an injury could spoil.

I do understand his disappointment and frustration but being a professional footballer should mean he had no choice but to knuckle down.
If you’re paid let say £50k per week you should not be allowed to down tools and refuse to play whilst picking up a pay packet.

It's a bit like cricket. (Bear with me). Do you pick the best wicketkeeper who can bat a bit? Or do you go for a good batsman who can also keep wicket?

I wouldn’t associate fighting and Sanchez in the same sentence. Sleeping, more like it. Trossard was the same. Caceido, well that’s an association I can make.

I do hope his absence is for personal/family reasons and NOT just having a strop at losing his place.
He should be professional enough to be on the bench, unless he has a genuine family issue that we're not aware of. His absence could cost us if Steele got a red with such little experience on the bench as back up.

What makes you think there is any chance of the above ?

99.99% certain it's a strop at not getting his place back after the Everton game.

I was happy with Sanchez in goal - he made some mistakes but even now he’s still improving.
Tough job - the toughest …. Were any of his mistakes (or those of any keeper) the equivalent of a striker hitting it so far over the bar or so far wide of the goal … or any outfield player’s hospital pass that gets intercepted? Goalkeepers are criticised more than anyone else.
From his point of view - if Steele isn’t getting dropped after the Everton game then clearly he’s only getting back in if Steele is injured. However I would expect him to be professional enough to be on the bench for the last 5 matches of the season. Don’t know what’s gone on but I will be a bit disappointed if he didn’t want to see out the season because he’s only second keeper. Having said that I will still wish him well wherever he goes

Because it's not been disclosed. I suspect it is a strop, yes, but if he had a mother, father, or other family member ill then I would have sympathy, like we all did with Knocky a few years ago.

Oh dear, hope he's off in the Summer now. Disgusting attitude in this of all seasons if he's just downed tools and refuses to travel as it appears from the presser.

"I spoke with Robert before the Arsenal game and we decided together that the best solution was for him to stay at home."
That's the quote and is clearly indicative of a strop/disagreement. If there was a personal issue for which we might be sympathetic I don't believe the word " solution " would have been used.

Naylor states during the presser,
De Zerbi, asked if Sanchez is training with the squad at the moment: "He decided everything. Robert decided everything at the moment. He wanted it this way (not travelling to be on the bench). Not me, not the club."

So Bobby off to Spurs to replace Loris (another reason for de Zerbi not to go there) and Steele a possible England call-up.

It does look alas like he's pulled a Trossard. Hope not tho. I was a critic of his regular flubs to be honest but backed him to sort them out with more games. Sad if we don't see the benefit
