Poor performance from the lad. Looks like a kid who shines in youth leagues thanks to his early physical development but fades facing equal or more powerful opposition. IMO very far behind Brahim right now, correct me if I'm wrong.

Chelsea did there homework on him and doubled and trebled up on him and why he went backwards he has to learn to pass and move not hog the ball when there is 2 to 3 players on him.

Like the post above, Chelsea did their homework on him.
He is a big lad for a 16/ 17 year old but not big in the realms of some of the 16/ 17 year old lads Chelsea have deployed against us in these Youth Cup finals of the last few years.
Look at that Odoi last night for example, 16 years old and pretty much built like a fully developed bloke already.
Rooney was a tank at this age, same with Barkley.

Well that game was the first time i've watched him properly over the course of a full game, but on the basis of that, I would agree 100% with you. Brahim looks our best prospect from that team, full stop.

You're wrong. He's coped with players 6 or 7 years older than him in the PL2 this season that are obviously miles ahead of him physically.
Chelsea are just a very well organised team and their 343 shape meant they easily got 2 or 3 bodies around him quickly. They clearly saw him as our biggest threat and their focus on swarming him to stop him was immediately apparent.
He had a quiet game, but the comment about only shining in youth teams because of his size could not be more off the mark.
Actually saw him holding his hamstring about 20 mins in and he was looking absolutely knackered too at one point. Saw him keel over a few times as well. Almost certain he was feeling something. Also just think he had a quiet game. Happens. Seem him deal with big opponents before and be fine, and I agree with Domalino. Jadon's far from a flat track bully.
I think both Sancho and Diaz, when he plays wide, are allowed to habitually dribble across the pitch too much. The coaches should be coaching it out of them. It's undemanding to defend, physically and mentally. Foden plays in straight lines more. Which is better.
One bad game from a kid that just turned 17, nothing to worry about. Hopefully Pep can improve his game further next season, assuming he is further involved with first team.
Remember that he idolizes Neymar, who while world class, has lately been trying to do everything himself and lost the ball alot, which Sancho did in this game.

What is more worrying is people wanting to train individual bits of magic out of these young kids, stop them dribbling across the pitch, how fucking dare they not pass the ball backwards 500 times a game :(
Can you imagine Kinky tasked with constantly playing in straight lines and tracking back at every available moment.

Phil Foden or Mat Smith for me

Exactly this. They'd be the same people that slate Navas for not attempting to dribble more instead of passing it backwards/sidewards.
Sancho must always be encouraged to play to his strengths and his decision making will improve with time.

It's always a good thing, to make these judgements on one game.

That's the way I read it too. If anything it actually looked like Sancho was trying to do too much for all the right reasons. I think he was trying to take it to Chelsea and was perhaps a little over eager as a result. I don't doubt that he's raw but it never ceases to amaze me how many people tune in for one game and then so willingly write off a young lad if they have anything other than an exceptional game.

Same happens every year doesn't it? ITV televise a game or two and suddenly people who've only ever watched 90 minutes of these kids know exactly how good each one is and why none of them will make it.

Only a few games ago, anyone watching Diaz' performance would wonder what all the fuss is about.
We have a little group amongst that squad, who all have enormous potential. For all we know, Diaz & Sancho could struggle to have an impact at first team level & Matt Smith takes it in his stride. It will be a surprise if some of these can't make an impact though.

I have seen plenty of Sancho to know what a special talent he is. The game v Chelsea will be a good learning experience for him.He was up against a team who know all about him and double marked him with strong ,quick players. I thought his head dropped a bit towards the end of the first half which I don't think I have seen before and it reminded me just how young he is.
The good thing was how he came out second half with his head up again and putting the effort in again. Probably a well done Ccarsley for that but also well done Jadon. He was back looking to take people on and create something for the team and getting back for his defensive duties. He will always draw extra players to him so he can look for where the space is created as a result.Just as he did for the simple pass that set Foden free for the goal.
He must be and I am sure will be encouraged to take defences on and we have a star in our ranks.

I did actually say it was just based on one game, so I can't see what your problem is, unless you're suggesting I shouldn't have expressed a view.
I'm guessing you've seen a lot more of the team than me - who would you suggest is the best placed player from that team to make it to first team football soonest?
