Both offer something completely different to the role and it's splitting opinions on here to who should be supporting the Roonster.
Recently, Butcher has opted for Odi and is vindicated from the goals Eric's scored but in some fans opinions we aren't playing as flowing football as we were when Sanchesco was in. Here are my arguements for both:
Danni Sanchez
For:
He is a more natural attacking midfielder/playmaker than Odi. He has an excellent first touch and when he has the ball in space his first thought is to look for a pass and split the defence. He moves the ball around the park well and is probably one of the more technically gifted footballers in the squad. We seem to play more attractive football when he's on the park.
Against:
He doesn't score enough goals, doesn't have many direct assists, doesn't work hard enough and can sometimes fade out of games. If starting a game he is always the first player to be subbed
Eric Odhiambo
For:
He is a more attacking player and will run beyond Rooney without getting a nose bleed. He scores goals and seems to have a more direct impact on the game. He has pace to burn and very comfortable when running with the ball, which makes us more dangerous on the counter attack.
Against:
His first touch is a tackle. While Sanchez first thought will be to look for a pass Oddie's will always be 'how can I get a goal', which is why we aren't playing as attractive football when he's on the park. We play more direct, which leaves us vunerable at the back. If starting a game he is always the first player to be subbed
My thoughts are, we are more likely to win games with Odhiambo on the park and good football doesn't guarentee you a trophy while winning every game does. I like Sanchez and if we weren't at the business end of the season I would be more than happy to see him linking the play and watch the team play flowing football but at the moment it's win or die.
how do you eat yours?
