Can't quite make up my mind. Thought he was astonishingly poor in the first 20 minutes and must have hit about 7 misplaced passes.
Improved as the game went on , but never stood out. That said great challenge to prevent a goal following the Green save from Cleverley.
Probably still working on his fitness so 90 minutes under his belt will help.
Jury out at the moment I think.... |  | | |  |

He was awful for the 1st half hour and Villa could have been out of sight if they'd had the ability to capitalize on his dreadful passing.
Hopefully its just a lack of confidence down to fitness issues and he can get a run of games under his belt.
Lucky he had Henry beside him who looks super fit and very confident these days.
To think we were looking to palm him off to the championship yet he's easily been our best midfielder  |  | | |

Add Barton to the mix and that is a good solid midfield platfom, especially away from home, where the likes of Fer become a liability. |  | | |

His first 90 minutes  As you say, he started poorly but improved. Needs a couple more games to get up to speed. |  |
| Strong and stable my arse. |

I was only watching on Sky but I thought that he did OK, nothing spectacular but you can see that he's got something to build on. I'd keep this side together for a while and let the benefits from a greater understanding start to accrue. It will be interesting to see what happens when Mutch is fit, as I've got big hopes for him. |  | | |

whilst coming home on the central line i proceeded to give a quite brilliant analysis of the game to the Mrs , and mentioned that after the 3pts and a clean sheet, sandro getting through 90 mins was a nice little dividend from the game also, before eulogising on the subtle nuances of professional football and the kasparov /karpov like battles of wits that plays out between two powermongers on the green sod ..that only guys about town like us could understand
it was only when we got as far as woodford , when she swithched off her i pod that realised it had all been in vein. [Post edited 28 Oct 2014 8:45]

Sanchez of Villa was the best player in the first half by miles. He snuffed out everything Fer and Sandro tried to create coming out through the middle and constantly won back possession 30-40 yards out from our goal. However, Lambert and Keane in their wisdom must have decided at half time he was needed to play in front of Zamora and pulled him back. Although he snuffed out a tiring Zamora, it gave Sandro and Fer a chance to play further forward. Then Hoilett came on, our forward play was spread out across the pitch and harder to predict and protect against, and Sanchez seemed to have a breakdown. Poor lad had been largely playing us on his own without help from Cleverly, Westwood, Cissokho, etc.
By the way, Konk would have loved the cameo from Darren Bent, from the most apathetic half-time warm-up ever to an energy-free ramble through the last 15 minutes. |  | | |

Surely a career in broadcasting beckons. If you have a black shirt (or very dark grey), you could join Messrs Shearer and Lawrenson on the MOTD sofa. It's a bit of a pig to travel to Salford, mind you.
Did you have a word with Harry and arrange for Niko the show pony to come on for a brief gallop for Mrs Droid? |  |

i thought sanchez was great, we gave him far too much room. he was allowed a free run, why we didnt stick someone on him to nulify his influence on the game is a mystery to me but then again im no manager etc | | | |

Personally I didn't think he looked all that. Had about 30% of the entire possession across the game to himself but only seemingly went sideways with it. And he didn't 'snuff out' any threat from Fer and the Powderpuff Beast - they constantly gifted him the ball! |  |

I thought Sanchez was an absolute monster and the best player on the park. Was absolutely everywhere and completely bossed it. Looked a cracking player.
One mistake cost them a goal though.
Still, the sort of physical, athletic, talented holding midfielder who Utd and Arsenal are crying out for. |  | | |

I said to my son after his umpteenth interception that he was exactly what Arsenal need, hardly ever fouled too. Then he gave it away for the second goal, so he's probably staying at Villa. He's 28 apparently, which might put off the bigger clubs. | | | |

Sanchez looked a great player. Every time we cleared the ball he was there, every time an Aston Villa player needed a pass he was there. Just seemed to be everywhere. Had a really poor 5 mins where he gave us the ball but except that he looked great |  |

Sandra's passing wayward to say the least, but he was very busy and saved a 100% goal with his challenge after Green parried the first effort - that was a superb effort which he had no right to make. |  |

Thought Sanchez had a brilliant game but faded in the last 15 mins.
He was everywhere and snuffed out many an R's move.
Jury is well and truly out on Sandro. Seemed slow for me and Henry bailed him out on quite a few occasions.
It has been mentioned on his own threads but I though Yun was stand out tonight but Dunne was my MOM. |  |

Sandro was superb defensively, and pretty poor with the ball, but his second half was much better than the first. Henry/Sandro in midfield is a big reason in the turn around though |  | | |
| Sandro? on 14:01 - Oct 28 with 1176 views | fakekerby |
I think it's more than a bit harsh to pass judgement on a player who has only once finished a full 90 and clearly needs more fitness after a lengthy lay off and niggling injuries.
He's done okay so far and looked good against Liverpool to me. | | | |
| Sandro? on 14:28 - Oct 28 with 1151 views | adhoc_qpr |
Sandro actually got better as the game went on for me, ironically considering he fitness issues.
Him and Henry are a solid-ish foundation though, if they can just keep the ball a bit better.
I wouldn't swap either out for Barton or Mutch when they are back and fit. | | | |
| Sandro? on 16:47 - Oct 28 with 1051 views | nightwish |
Played the first 20 minutes like a Sandra rather than Sandro continually giving the ball away but improved a lot after that.Made a change to see him play an entire match | | | |

For the first half an hour I thought Sandro had signed on an emergency loan for Villa he passed to them so often.
He did get better though.
I thought Sanchez carried Villa's entire defence last night despite making the mistake for the 2nd goal. Without him it could have been more. |  |

Yes indeed, as bad as Sandros passing may have been in the first half hour, we always recovered the ball shortly after. Sanchez' immaculate pass was pounced on , given to Vargas then onto Austin and game over. But lets coat off Sandro. | | | |
