New Chelsea player Jadon Sancho advised that his current playing style is too straightforward and may result in him being benched.

Over the summer, Jadon Sancho made the switch from Manchester United to Chelsea as one of their new signings. However, he has already received some criticism for not performing as well as expected and may even face being dropped from the team if he doesn't step up.

Despite showing glimpses of his immense potential, the 24-year-old winger has yet to fully impress since joining Chelsea on transfer deadline day. This comes after a three-year stint at Old Trafford that was labeled as underwhelming, leading to his departure to Stamford Bridge.

Sancho's dip in form at Manchester United coincided with a public fallout with manager Erik ten Hag, which resulted in limited playing time for the English international. However, he has started Chelsea's last three league games and has received praise from some pundits, but not from former Blues striker Tony Cascarino.

After watching Sancho in Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest, Cascarino was underwhelmed by his performance and felt that he made it too easy for Forest's right back Ola Aina to defend against him. While he played accurately and without major mistakes, being just "okay" is not enough for a player at a top club like Chelsea.

Cascarino compared Sancho's performance to that of Noni Madueke, who has been impressing on the other flank. The young winger, who recently made his England debut, has scored five goals in eight appearances this season and was constantly challenging his defender. Cascarino believes that this is how wide players should be judged - by how often they beat their defender and what else they bring to the game.

He also warned Sancho that he will face significant competition for playing time at Chelsea and will need to offer more if he wants to secure a regular spot in the starting lineup. Despite initially joining on loan, the deal includes an obligation to buy next summer for a significant fee.

Cascarino emphasized the importance of consistency and performance at top clubs like Chelsea, and believes that how Sancho performs at his new club will determine the trajectory of his career. His underwhelming stint at Manchester United, where he only scored 12 goals in 83 appearances, shows that he needs to step up his game and meet the high expectations of his new team.
