From what I seen of Sanzhez today, he doesn't look like a £35m player. I understand he is not known for his pace but at times I wondered if he was running his fastest. It summed it up when he got a through ball from Sanogo and it was not exactly overhit but his lack of pace saw him get nowhere near it and it rolled into the keepers hands. I do think he has a decent footballing brain and made a nice play with a longball, but I don't think he shown clever footwork to suggest he will ever be up there with the best in the world. Of course this is just one game, but I am not sure what other people think about his pace? at one time I saw him have to pass the ball because the player behind him was catching up with him.
