Cancelo did nothing wrong last night. That happened due to a combination of Wellbeck's diving and the officials shockingly dishonest performance.IMO it was a sending off last night. (The ref was abysmal for the rest of the game though) Cancelo made a poor choice and the team (especially Torres) paid the price. He is a full back who is good at lots of things and poor at a few - just like Walker...but different.
Overall I like the choice between Cancelo and Walker. Could be better obviously but could be a lot worse.

Exactly which bit of Cancelo caused Welbeck to starfish? It certainly wasn't his arm, or his leg, or his feet, or his hips....Welbeck has always been very good at diving but it's irrelevant in this case. Cancelo wrapped his arm around his and stopped an attack- deserved red card.
Bollocks. Welbeck puts his right arm inside where Cancelo is running.Welbeck has always been very good at diving but it's irrelevant in this case. Cancelo wrapped his arm around his and stopped an attack- deserved red card.

Cannot agree, Cancelo did not wrap his arm around Welbeck. He raised his left arm, maybe to fend off Welbeck, and Welbeck's right arm came across Cancelo's and they were briefly intertwined. Also Welbeck's leg brushed Cancelo's before the arms entwined. How many angles did Var use on this.Welbeck has always been very good at diving but it's irrelevant in this case.

For all we know they didn't even look at it. We've only got the TV commentators word that they did, and that would have come from the VAR match commander...Cannot agree, Cancelo did not wrap his arm around Welbeck.

Cancelo was slightly ahead of Welbeck and held his line which he is perfectly entitled to do. If anything, Welbeck cut's slightly across Cancelo and the arm you say he 'wrapped around' Welbeck is simply him trying to avoid bringing him down. Cancelo goes down first there and I guarantee no foul.
It was CHEATING from Welbeck. What transpired afterwards was incompetence/dishonesty/corruption from the referee and VAR.
