Leroy Sane - 2017/18 performances

[Mike N]

Hope he gets a start on Saturday.

 

[SWP's back]

Dropping Sane for being average when played out of position, was wrong imo.

Who was he dropped for in the games he didn't start and how did they do?

Then, once you've answered that, how was it wrong?

Would like to see him, Sergio and Sterling start in a front three on Saturday

Can anyone else see him developing into a central striker in years to come, like Ronaldo has done. He’s a big lad, strong, powerful, skillful, electric off the blocks and can finish, he has all the attributes to be a top class forward operating more centrally

Said it last season. Once he has a bit of experience and plays with a bit more strength he'll be a great second striker who plays in the channels like Henry used to. I think this guy is pure class and the only down side to our two up top working so well is Sané being benched. Hopefully find a way to get him in too because even t his age he's too good to be sat scratching his arse.

How would you balance the four? I agree with you in that he's not getting enough minutes though. That will change.

I think the answer is play 3 with constant rotation.
Posted this in the pre match thred:-

If you were to list out our form players you get:

Aguero
KDB
Sane
Sterling
G Jesus

Fitting them into a balanced side is difficult and you also have the 2x Silvas who we need to get on the pitch for different reasons (1 is our long term key player and the other is likely to succeed him).

My pick for this game would be rest G Jesus and play both Sane and Raz either side of Aguero.

I'd start

__________Aguero
___Sané____________Bernardo
_______Silva___KDB

I hope we have this conundrum all season.

 

[Saddleworth2]

We must have one of the strongest front 5 in world football just now with eight players competing:
Aguero
Jesus
Sane
Stirling
Silva
Bernardo
KDB
Gundogan
Lots of flexibility and all of the super intelligent footballers.

Whoever. Irrelevant.

Sané's main opportunity to play, came in someone else's position. The others played their own positions. Try sticking Aguero at wingback then dropping him whilst others start, see how that works.

Damn! Going all lawyerly on Neville :)
