English Abroad

Sancho and Nelson both start this afternoon

 

And Sancho scores!

 

And both have now scored.

 

Nelson is getting greedy and has scored two before being withdrawn

 

I’ve not as yet seen the Nelson goals but heard the second one was a good finish however saw Dortmund in the first half so saw the goal. Wasn’t a classic goal by any means, was a left foot shot which was pretty weak but took a big deflection from the defender before wrong footing the keeper but hey, they all count and I’m sure Sancho won’t care in the slightest.

"Jerdy Schouten hit the post after a sublime action by Marcus Edwards"

I've not seen much of this fella. Is he one you like?

 

You can't miss his talent, but so far he's really struggled to stay uninjured. To me the obvious comparison with respect to his style is Carrick; he gets forward a bit more, but then so did Carrick as a young guy. I think there are a few videos knocking about if you want to seek them out.

 

Sancho scored against Atletico Madrid in the CL, though he played only 11 minutes.

Four. Minutes.

It’s great that he’s adding these kind of goals to his game.

 

I know he is in a talented group but you got to wonder if he didn't get his injuries would he have made more England squads. I remember there were quite a few fans of him from watching him as a schoolboy at Fulham.

 

I’m half tempted to post this on the Bluemoon forum on the Sancho thread. Some of the stuff I’ve read on there by guys who quite obviously only wear blue tinted glasses who still argue that Sancho hasn’t made the right move for his career is quite odd.

 

Such a shame, Sancho just scored a lovely flick finish for 1-0 but it got chalked off for the slimmest of offsides against Reus that you are going to see.

 

Ok, now he scores and this time it counts.

 

He seems desperate to score now. He wasn't making those runs not so long ago.

 

Here’s the flick that Marcho mentioned.

 

How did he play? Didn’t see the game unfortunately, noticed he played the full 90 so guess he was pretty effective m?
