Pundit Jason Cundy gives 'huge amount of kudos' to one player for 3rd Chelsea goal – not Mudryk or Enzo

Chelsea 5th Stand

 player Jason Cundy singled out one player for praise in 

 to start a counter-attack for the Blues, Sterling played it to Jackson, who passes it to 

“Can we please give Robert Sanchez a huge amount of kudos for that goal," said Cundy about the keeper's contribution. 

"He was the one that came and claimed it (the corner). I felt that perhaps he should hold it. 

"No. He rolls the ball out to Raheem Sterling, who in turn gives the ball to [Nicolas] Jackson, who then puts it to Mudryk, and then it ends up with the penalty. 

"That has come from bright and intelligent play from Robert Sanchez.”

Was the right call. He could've chosen to be conservative with the ball at 2-1, and being one man down. He saw through the positions of the Brighton players. He was simply smart. None of the actions from the 3 other players could've happened if he wasn't that smart.

However, if you think Sanchez simply "did his job" by cleverly rolling the ball out to sterling, then the other 3 players also just "did their jobs" finishing it off.

Itz like u just read nd dnt understand, he was winning 2 - 1 he had every right too hold the ball nd waste time or delay time but instead started the counter

Yes my friend, my knowledge and understanding of this beautiful game has spanned over 65 years since I was 5. I bet nobody noticed Pochettino loudly shouting instructions from the technical area telling Sanchez to send that ball out quickly and where he wanted it. Poch was the mastermind to the strategic move and it was great that it paid off.
Sanchez did what he is there to do, so did Stirling, so did Jackson and so did Mudryk (really the star of the move). It's not rocket science, it damn good football intelligence.
So sonny, please don't attempt to intimidate me again as I believe that I do have a few more years experience as a player in minor English leagues and then as a paid coach & that gives me some credibility of the ideas being discussed.

That you have been in the game for long time doesn’t change the fact that your point will always stand in anything concerning this game. In this one you didn’t make a good point ( in my opinion). Sanchez did a great job same with the finishers.

For the first time, I disagree with you, Mr Chelseanuts1.

Sanchez could have chosen to play it safe and hold on to the ball till the defence area is clear. Then roll it out to any of his defenders — just to kill more time at that stage of the game, considering we were leading.

But, rather, he quickly observed the positions of the opponents, saw a chance for a counter attack, and had the courage to throw the ball out to Sterling while surrounded by Brighton players!

I was even shouting at him thru the TV screen not to make that pass, because I could clearly see his intention while he was moving forward with the ball, and it seemed so dangerous from my viewing angle, because I feared that we could have easily lost possession from that pass which would lead to another Brighton attack! That was an intelligent and courageous play from Sanchez!

Certainly and on that we can agree. 
But, carefully read my comment and you will maybe understand that I am a supporter of Sanchez. I believe that the instructions came directly from the sidelines but take nothing away from our keeper, his action was a vital to the links of success with getting that penalty. Plus the cool head of Enzo to put it in the net.
We all have our views and opinions but should accept that some others have an opinion & also possibility a more knowledgeable view on the subject.

Not saying you are wrong Snowy, but read my follow up replies.

I admire and respect your experience and knowledge in the field Mr. Chelseanuts1. But the reply to Mr. Okonkwo's comment was far from graceful. l do agree with his comment. Having said that, I do understand the point you're trying to make as well. This should be the norm for any number 1 playing for Chelsea FC. Football today requires your goalkeeper to be more than just a shot stopper. These are the attributes that set goalkeepers like Allison and Ederson apart. The ability to release a quick ball and launch a counter attack. This has been the biggest knock on Sanchez throughout his Chelsea tenure. His distribution. So when he's finally making improvements in the area. We can be supportive for the same. Everyone of those players had a role to play in this goal. Right from Sanchez's release to Enzo converting the penalty. However, we know the likes of Raz, Jackson, Misha and Enzo are capable of this. We've seen this from them before. We haven't seen enough plays like these from Sanchez. So I do understand giving him props for this goal as well. This might just be me talking through optimistic naivety. But again, I do understand the point you're making. My issue however was with your initial response - your accusations of them trying to intimidate you. I didn't see any form of intimidation. On the contrary, it was your response that was condescending and trying to bully him out of the debate. As an admin, it's not a good look. We can have a healthy debate. I don't question your knowledge of the game. I hadn't noticed Poch barking instructions either. So there's clearly a lot we can observe and learn from your experience. However, we can do it in a healthier way is all I'm trying to say. Much love and regards.

Also, if I may ask. I've always been curious about football prior to the premier league era and as someone who's followed the sport for over a decade prior to start of the PL - who were some of your favourite footballers to watch pre premier league era?

How strange to give 'kudos' to a keeper who does his job by rolling the ball to another player after collecting a cross from a corner, the ball then moves through three players the last who is fouled and manhandled and is awarded a well earned penalty! But it must have been the creative mind of Sanchez our keeper to gain that awarded penalty? Look I like Sanchez and think he is a good keeper (apart from his few mistakes) but he is not a magician who made this occur. Sorry it is the wrong call.

Kudos to Sanchez for the intelligent roll quick to sterling,a very good buildup that gives Chelsea the lead
