Isn't this one of the reason why clubs have sports psychologists?
I think Clement turned down the option of hiring one. It was mentioned not long after he joined.
I can't remember where though |  | |  |

We did have one. He's working for the Wales set up now. |  |

He needs some games for U-23s or U-21s to get his confidence back. Where he can measure himself against players of his own age. | | | |

Good idea!
PC should not feature him at present but instead focus on building his confidence in a different playing environment. | |

At least there won't be any Carabao signs to pass to [Post edited 30 Nov 2017 15:35]

I wonder if Merson had the yips, you know, raising the glass to his mouth, but not managing to sip. |  |

From what I heard Merson had no problems sipping. I think he has a point though. | | | |

Exfukingactly, get him back enjoying his football and his confidence will grow [hopefully] then bring him back in, Clement is destroying the boy at the moment. |  |

Clement’s comment in his press conference makes me laugh. There’s no pressure to play Renato, it’s on merit  |  | | |

I'm sorry Max but i just cannot see what finding himself playing in the under 21's or 23's at Swansea City is going to do for Sanches confidence. It's up to the manager to help him with any confidence issues he may have within the first team environment. He is not part of our development, and we haven't paid a £7.5m loan fee for him to take the place of someone who is. Personally, i'd give him until the end of January and if he doesn't improve then i'd send him back early. |  | | |

He's not good enough to play for our u23s on this season's form. | | | |

He played against Wales u21s just before he came here and was poor that night as well.
Think we had Rodon, James, two Evans's playing. David Brooks came on in the second half and changed the game. | | | |

Merson said: "He's shot a bolt. He's gone as a footballer at the moment. His confidence is shot.
"At Bayern Munich he was one of the best young players in the world, you don't go to Bayern if you're not good - in the Euros he was outstanding.
"It just shows you it doesn't matter who you are, how much money you get, when your confidence goes, that is it. Footballers are only human. It's hard to get that confidence back.
"It's unbelievable how badly he's struggling. It's exactly like getting 'dartitis' or when you get the 'yips' in golf or snooker. He's making mistakes that you wouldn't expect a kid to do."
..............................
Don't often agree with Merson but he is spot on in my opinion. This is a psychological issue not an ability one. |  |

I agree - PC should not single him out for criticism as they are all crap. Thought he played better against Bournemouth in second half as attacking midfielder - then PC took him off. What a surprise. |  |

I was in Lyon for the Euro Semi Final against Portugal and he took Joey Allen to school that night. Something, somewhere went terribly wrong for him to go from that, to how he is now.
I honestly feel sorry for him, I know people will say “f*ck him he’s paid thousands”, I don’t care, he must be in a dark place right now. I really hope he finds away to stop the slide but I’m struggling to see it happening here, the premier league is ruthless, he’s getting exposed big time and it’s just making things worst. | | | |

Reminds me of Van Gerwen from the darts, he won the BDO World Masters when he was 18 then moved to the PDC and was absolute gash for years - then all of a sudden something clicked! |  |

Agree with 2nd paragraph. I hope the crowd doesn't get on his back next time he's in the team. The way 'we' treated Carroll (and to a lesser extent Clucas) recently was disgusting. They're still our players and if we're going through a rough spell they need support not grief. |  | | |

From the pass he did to the advertising hoarding, you do wonder if he needs an eye test. Seriously!
Is it part of the clubs regular checks on players?
It looked like he looked up and saw a blur of red and thought that was a team mate. If his eye sight is bad then that might be all he can see of other players.
It didn't look like nerves but that he can't see very well | | | |
