Looked on it today. Unlucky with the pens too.

[Albion] Can we talk about Sanchez ?

Unlucky with the pens, good saves, pretty solid, no flapping.. If I'm being picky, didn't always make the right pass when playing out. One near end of first half nearly cost us dearly.

1. Great positioning and saves, kept us in it.
2. Distribution miles behind Steele’s.
3. Can’t save a pen. Kelleher, reportedly leaving Liverpool, is a penalties master …. Wembley a year ago.

You reckon Kelleher was saving any of those pens ?
Agree. Great attitude and excellent keeping, the save from Rashford’s deflected effort was fantastic, but De Zerbi is right, his distribution just isn’t as good as Steele’s.
Personally I’m bringing Steele back in when fit.

You'd think the law of averages alone would lead to Sanchez saving the odd penalty now and again. Apparently not. The only way United miss a penalty today is if they miss the target. Sadly tho, they never did

I know he was on the bench today but wasn’t sure if he was 100% recovered after missing Chelsea?
I think De Gea is worse. Can’t remember the stat exactly but he has a pretty awful record. He didn’t get near any of ours either today. Spanish thing?!
RDZ missed a trick today. Sanchez was great in the game but should have been subbed off in the last few minutes of extra time for Steele. Steele is a proven penalty saver while Big Bob ...well. It would have been a brave move and taken "Big Balls" but we might have won if it had been done.

made some excellent saves, the one from rashford in particular. but in his distribution, we also saw exactly why he was dropped for steele
That thought occurred to me too, at the time on the match day thread.

Personal opinion - Jason Steele is the better keeper by a long way. Never feel comfortable with Sanchez in goal. Never felt Sanchez was going to be our hero in the penalty shoot out
If Steele had played, then that game never would have gone to penalties. Not a hope he’s saving Rashford’s deflected shot. No chance.

Totally agree with this. Sanchez was fine with the ball yesterday and couldn’t do anything about the pens. I’m not sure any keeper could have. But he kept us in it with saves and claims that I’ve no faith Steele would’ve got close to.
They’re different keepers ultimately, with different strengths. If RDZ wants Steele, then fine. But for me, I’d have Sanchez every day of every week. He’s a much more rounded keeper, with the major weakness being the odd error, but given his age and position, it’s no surprise the odd one is made - heck, all the keepers at the biggest clubs make them.
