[Albion] Should Sanchez have saved that?

[One Teddy Maybank]

Sanchez concedes at his near post again. It’s becoming a bit of a weakness area in his game unfortunately.

Utter nonsense. He was hardly coming from an acute angle, not a near post issue.....

A lot of people are being wooshed in this thread.

If Sanchez was in any other position, that would be poor positioning by the goalkeeper. It was just a really good strike in the perfect place that a keeper can't get to.

Couldn't agree more. Some really idiotic comments here.

Let’s not forget the saves Sanchez made in the game either.

I actually question the defending for their goal. A brilliant finish, but he shouldn’t have had time to.

Defenders could have been tighter on Foden, but precision finish by him. Sanchez was a twit to pick up the Webster back pass though; luckily nothing came of it, but the indirect free kick was an hirsute moment.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Foden did him with the eyes and body shape.

Well played Bobby Sanchez, he gives the whole team a boost of confidence.
He's here to stay.

Hmmmm.... good shot-stopper, but rough around the edges.

That’s probably quite fair actually.

He is still very young for a goalkeeper. Hugely promising though.

He’s done well tonight and will learn from any little mistakes. He’s a 23 year old keeper and has all the attributes in time to be very very good. 5/7 years till he hits his prime yet

 

[dangull]

He made some good saves tonight, even scared the penalty taker.
Its a yes he deserves a starting place for me.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Still number 1 for me

Nope

Sanchez was beaten by, IMO, a sublime finish - no chance !

 

[Jesus Gul]

He's looking the real deal isn't he

People saying the keeper should save that are talking absolute sh&te. From that position Foden good have opted for either post so Sanchez has to be where he was. It couldn’t have been placed more in the near post.

So called fans criticising our keeper for every single goal we concede.

Overall I thought he was fantastic tonight and made several good saves. I do think he was very slightly out of position for the goal and I'm sure, when they analyse it internally, they will come to the same conclusion. He's a tall keeper so will leave more of the near post area free than Ryan would - due to his further reach. That said, he was clearly about a foot out of position tonight (which is what he missed the ball by) but, as someone else has said, he has all the attributes to be a top, top keeper. He's not quite there yet but it is Roberts's, Potter's and the club's job to help him get there - a very exciting talent who could save us many points but will also be prone to the odd error in my view.

 

[Doc Lynam]

Becoming more and more impressed by him.

Seemed to shift his weight momentarily to the left, expecting a shot into the other corner - just enough to leave him unable to reach when it went to his right. Hardly a howler and he made some good saves. Has a real presence which in itself seems to put opposing strikers off - nowhere near as much of the goal to shoot at as there often seemed to be with Ryan. Also, noticeable that he’s very agile - is back on his feet like lightning after a save. Great prospect considering he’s still just a baby by goalkeeping standards.

 

[The Albion]

He’s been costing us points lately unfortunately.

 

[Jesus Gul]

Makes fewer mistakes than Lloris, Leno, De Gea, Allison, Pickford...the list goes on. A top 5 Prem keeper
