Aston Villa fans have delivered their verdict on Jadon Sancho after he made his first appearance for the club.
Sancho joined Villa from Manchester United on deadline day.
He moved to Villa Park on a season-long loan, with the Midlands outfit paying a loan fee and covering 80 per cent of the player's wages.
The star winger, who cost Man United £73 million, was in Villa's squad for their goalless draw against Everton but was an unused substitute.

But Unai Emery played him from the start in Tuesday's Carabao Cup third-round clash at Brentford.
Sancho failed to influence the game in the first-half though Villa did score their first goal of the season when fellow summer signing Harvey Elliott opened the scoring before the break.
Minutes after the restart, however, the 25-year-old could have opened his goal account but he was denied by the post.
He grew into the cup tie and linked nicely with Elliott on the left flank before being taken off in the 74th minute.
But, on the whole, Villa fans weren't convinced with Sancho's club debut as they made their feelings known on social media.
One X user wrote: "Just been reminded Sancho is on the pitch."
A second argued: "Elliott and Sancho already raised the technical floor. Nice to see guys not treat the ball like a bomb."
Reacting to Emery substituting Elliott and Donyell Malen, a third slammed: "Unai has lost his sh*t what the f**k, Sancho has been w**k why is he not coming off."
A fourth commented: "Sancho been quiet but we really need him to find some confidence and build some form."
Another said: "Sancho looked okay tonight, there’s a player in there somewhere."
Having played his first minutes in a Villa shirt, Sancho will be looking to make his first Premier League showing for his new team when they resume their league campaign on Sunday.
Villa, who have yet to win a league game this season, travel to the Stadium of Light to face Sunderland.
