Renato Sanches - just walks and ambles around the pitch on 18:20 - Sep 16 with 6619 views | icecoldjack | Yes he doesn't run around like a headless chicken so therefore in time honoured swans tradition he's therefore utter sh1t . Give the kid a break, if we actually paid £30 m for him then fair enough but the reason he's here is to build confidence fitness and games. He's been tidy enough first half getting better with each game no doubt. Sanches is the least of our problems truth be told. We are totally isolated up front and have no clue in the final 3 Rd !! | ![](/images/avatars/13184.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

If Pirlo was black and signed for us, he would also be labelled lazy. Bony, Emnes, Scotland, Lawrence, Barrow, Sanches all got this tag. Can't remember many white players being slated for their laziness. Just an observation. | ![](/images/avatars/21008.gif) |

Jonjo Shelvey, Lee Trundle (second spell), Pablo Hernandez, Craig Beattie, Cedric van der Gunn and Kristian O'Leary spring to mind. I'm sure I saw some comments like that about Mesa after the United game too. Going much further back, it was a common criticism of Appleby and Coates. I don't think for a second that Sanches is lazy. He looks like he is completely unaccustomed to playing in such a defensive set up and at times, which I guess can look like he is being lazy when he is holding his ground in case of a break rather than charging back into a defensive position. People who think Bony and Scotland in particular are/were lazy don't understand the job they are meant to do. Players like that aren't meant to run the channels and snap at full backs heels. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I don't recall any of those being called lazy. Unfit maybe in the case of Trundle and O'Leary but there was no real question over their commitment, add Andy Robinson into that category, often singled out for being unfit but no question marks over his application. Hernandez, Beattie and Van der Gunn to my knowledge never got the widespread tag of not being commited or being lazy either. I will grant you Shelvey however. Still, that's some ratio.

Renato Sanches - just walks and ambles around the pitch on 19:36 - Sep 16 with 6178 views | Cooperman | In my humble opinion I think Clement pulled him off too early. He didn't look out of place, looked considerably fitter and sharper than last week and could easily have got through more game time. | ![](/images/avatars/9026.gif) |

You may not remember that, I do. I think players often get unfairly criticised for being lazy, when the vast majority of times they just aren't the type of players who buzz about relentlessly for 90 minutes. Most of the players you mentioned certainly fit into that category. I really don't think it's a black thing though. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

No. I am saying black players seem to be labelled lazy far easier than Caucasian players, I thought that point was made pretty clearly? | ![](/images/avatars/21008.gif) |

Feet were outstanding today. I've seen a chip on his shoulder a bit, especially today, so I hope he keeps himself honest and doesn't believe his hype, otherwise he's on a sticky wicket. I wouldn't have taken him off just yet and happy with his performance overall. | ![](/images/avatars/21041.gif) |
