Football is a team sport, but nothing he did in the pitch suggested he wasn't committed to that. And how Cantona would have behaved if benched every game, I think we can all imagine.

Thanks for the detailed post. I won't dispute it, but i will just repeat the saying that history is written by the winners. Sanchez has gone and his story is set and any counter arguments will disappear on the breeze. That said, what your post demonstrates is that he was dropped for his...

I'll put you down as a 'no' then.

Yep, that's why I thought RDZ did it. However whilst that style of play was amazing for a brief period, it's largely been found out and we don't do it that much anymore. Steele is going long or chipping wide with little through the middle. His kicking has become pretty poor of late. Bart...

I was astonished it wasn't upgraded, still am. Off the ground, nowhere near the ball, catches him flush on the ankle. Way worse than Gilmours which i still think should have been a yellow. Saved us the match that decision

We're not talking about that, we're talking about the decision to drop and not recall which led inexorably to his departure

Ha, yeah I'm with you, but people will believe what they want to believe and no point arguing with them. All you can do is make sure the facts are laid out best as they can be and allow all the silent readers to make up their own minds.

A bang average keeper who went to the world cup with Spain. No, he was not a bang average keeper.

That's not really a satisfactory answer, but OK

It's a tricky one because he looked really good on the ball today, especially in the first half and again right at the end after Lallana came on. But there was a very long period of 40 minutes or more when we simply couldn't hold the ball for any length of time, when Forest kept winning it back...

He was Really? Where did you hear that? Honest question as news to me. I thought RDZ dropped him because he wanted Steeles footwork.

:lolol: I like Jason Steele very much btw, fwiw.

He didn't need to refuse to play, he wasn't playing. Anyway, this thread isn't about Sanchez refusing to play, this thread is about Sanchez being dropped in the first place and not being recalled. What did you think about that?

Somebody was one on one with our keeper and didn't score 😱

It sounded good, but also weird. When Lukaku had that chance in the second minute the decibel noise didn't change. And when we hit the post in the 5th minute the exact same. Took a few replays to realise how good both those chances were. I quite like a crowd noise that rises and falls with the...

Reporting these. You can have a debate and discussion without being personally abusive to other posters.

Guess I've been stewing over one of my favourite players being dropped for a good 12 months. I accepted it when the style of play had Steele as a key focal point and it was producing results. Its harder to accept when our style has reverted back to what we were playing when Sanchez was in...

Getting spanked brings things to a head doesnt it. Things you've been thinking for ages laid bare to see. It's the perfect timing to get things off your chest :shrug:

Alright, one more post, up to his injury Pedro was the only brighton player to appear in every single brighton game this season. Do people not think before posting? Night night

Alright, I lose, I'm going to bed. Totally stand by my comments here, Sanchez was a fantastic talent who was ostracised by RDZ and I can't blame him for wanting to leave. But by God we could have done with him tonight. But you lot don't agree and that's fine. Night night.
