Seems very much to have gotten the message.

Poor opposition and a fairly slow moving game, nonetheless good to see him playing a full game and looking up for it.

Next couple of months could be very interesting from him.

Good to see him alongside Lo Celso too, that was the partnership we thought we were getting last season. Tuck Hojbjerg behind them and we could look good.

I think that is impossible to teach. He might gain it from experience though

You're probably right. The frustrating thing is, in physical attributes and base skill he's comparable to one of the best: Ledley King. But he is so different to King. And most of that is in his head imo. Pomp, confidence, awareness, determination. You get the feeling that if Sanchez was hypnotised pre-game into believing he was a world beater, his physical attributes wouldn't let him down!

I don't think comparisons to King hold up. King was a gifted footballer and reader of the game, Sanchez isn't.

I think that Bergwijn is better than Moura but hasn't had the run of games to show it. Moura is a head down footballer, who runs into blind alleys but has a couple of games a season where he is unplayable.

Injury issues aside, I think that most clubs would be happy with him as a squad player

As I said he's fine as a sub or squad player and I do like him I just don't want him starting many or maybe any games [emoji28]

Never saw Bergwyn before he arrive, rating is what I've seen of him so far.

Agree Moura can be frustrating but (edit) JM seems to rate him.

Sanchez has more in common with Bassong, looks fine in a straight line but just slow to react and turn.

True but he is only 24. Maybe a loan would be good for him. Needs to establish himself.

Still I think he has the raw tools to be a CL center back. Just depends on his head.

And it might raise the mentality question but it must be hard when you get your chances in the weaker teams so you don’t get a run of games or better players to play with. Son Lamela Bergwijn and Alli is not a creative quartet.

They certainly all benefit from having someone to play off

No, otherwise more players could do it. I think that football intelligence is either learnt at a very early age or you are born with it.

Are belief and confidence in your ability part of 'football intelligence'?
