Sancho fails to impress Cascarino: Does not possess the typical flair of a Chelsea winger

Cascarino was disappointed with the performance of the Manchester United loanee in last week's draw with Nottingham Forest.

He wrote for The Times: "There were no big mistakes, everything was neat and tidy, he played short passes that were accurate.

"There was nothing to complain about, or that a pundit could pull apart in analysis on television. 

"But he’s playing for Chelsea. This is a club that has high expectations of players, especially attacking ones. Being OK, which is what he was, is a problem. 

"The truth is that he made it easy for Nottingham Forest’s right-back Ola Aina to play against him. 

"There is no question Sancho is a good player, and his touch is almost always really sound, but he plays such a conservative game.

"He never got into a physical battle with Aina and never tried to take him on. Sancho is not slow but he doesn’t have that burst of acceleration to get at defenders."

He added: "Cristiano Ronaldo, Eden Hazard, Gareth Bale and the other best wingers of recent times at the biggest teams in the Premier League have always wanted to overwhelm the full-back marking them, using power and speed to beat them physically. 

"Sancho needs to get a bit stronger, and try to develop so that he can have a more significant change of pace. 

"That will allow him to keep a defender guessing – at the moment, the full-back knows there is very little chance of him trying to get to the byline."
