[Albion] Did Sanchez do the right thing?

[Eric the meek]

yes. only good thing he did today

To be fair, late in the game, he placed a goal kick right in front of Cucurella deep in the Newcastle half. It took the pressure off us.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Spike Lee-tastic!!!

 

[Dick Head]

It's not the first time I've seen Dunky have to pull on the goalkeeper's shirt and gloves. Can anybody remember which game was the last time he had to do it?

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Yes, but he should never have committed himself in the first place.

 

[macbeth]

Obviously were in the loo for his two world class passes then? (Lamptey and Cucurella).

ah possibly. that aside maybe, I thought his distribution was generally awful today.

 

[Taybha]

If we manage to stay up by one point it was priceless yes, I'm of the mind Sanchez will actually benefit from missing a game, he seems to be a bit out of sorts so whilst I'm sure he won't want to miss a game and would think I'm yakkin bolox It may focus him a bit more in the long run.

He's a fantastic keeper who will get better with age and experience, tonight was another step in his learning and I've no doubt he will come back stronger.

Only a 1 match suspension for a professional foul isn't it?

Glad I read this before voting!

Edit: probably would have voted yes anyways.

 

[StonehamPark]

Yes, and needs a break. His form is all over the place.

 

[dangull]

If he had stayed on his line the guy was through on goal 1 on 1. He hoped to get there to stop that, but when he didn't make it he made the correct decision so late in the game.
If it happened in the first 20 minutes, then maybe letting an almost certain goal might have been the right choice. IMO

 

[Swansman]

Can a referee give a free kick (non-penalty and non-goal)using VAR

When there is a red card offense, yes.

 

[vegster]

It suddenly seems that we have decided to re-live the sudden fall and denigration of Matty Ryan....are we doomed forever to keep reliving " The King is Dead... long live the King "?
So many now say that he has been shite for weeks but highlighted his brilliance in setting up the equaliser against Liverpool last week? A week is a long time in football.

 

[Wozza]

Yes.

Also, this was in my inbox post-match. He's had an up and down week...

 

[Springal]

Did Duffy not screw him over a bit by indecisiveness ? Seemed flat footed and froze

 

[London Irish]

He has all the physical attributes to be a top keeper but seems to have a rick a game in him. Big chance for Steele

 

[Creaky]

No - you can’t criticise diving in order to gain a goal and at the same time applaud a foul to deny a goal.

 

[sparkie]

Great decision.

 

[dazzer6666]

Can you list each one, game by game, since he was selected ?

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I didn't see it as saving a certain goal. Player had plenty to do with the defensive cavalry on their way back.

 

[portslade seagull]

Without it we would've lost, so yes he did. However his kicking and some decision making was poor today

 

[banjo]

Took one for the team. Good lad.
