Leroy Sane - 2018/2019 performances

[ADegenerate]

The attitude is what drives him. Asking him to lose it is a mistake. I wish a few of our players had more of one.

Nevermind silva,de Bruyne or aguero when this fella is on the pitch defenders are shitting it,he’s rapid as fuck and leaves the majority of players for dead,didn’t Gary Neville say something about him being a nightmare to defend against..still maintain he would give Olympic 100 m sprinters a run for their money ...

It could work especially with our limited options in the beginning of the season. We could play a 3-5-2 with Leroy and Bernardo up top and Mendy as the wingback.

Whatever system, imo Leroy should be used as an option for central striker. That doesn't mean I think it should be his main position, but, like Ronaldo did, he should start to get games in that position &, like Ronaldo, should be allowed to have 'off days' when given that job, without being written off.

Jesus has turned in plety of very good performances for Brazil etc as a wide striker, so we could even swap the two over during games, & back again, also with Sterling.

If we don't start to use Sane in that role, he will not develop it & imo we could lose a potential 40 goals a season.

It really depends on the teams we play. If a team decides to park the bus I don't know how effective he can be as a lone striker. I don't recall him being particularly good with his head unlike Ronaldo. Maybe like you say swapping during a game.

Yeah that, like United away last year. I don't personally believe he should be moved to a CF position long term though, barring the odd game here and there. He's got the assets to be a truly fantastic winger on either side more so than as a centre forward, as you yourself have inferred tbf.

I don't recall Ronaldo being the biggest threat heading a ball in his early years. But he developed it when challenged to play as a cf.

Pep not happy with his performances/attitude in training again or someone knows why he didn’t play a minute tonight?

Probably just trying to keep him fresh and free of injuries for Chelsea.

It looks like he's bulked out a bit over the summer.

Read Pep comments that it is more that he isn’t in the right physical condition.
