#27 | João Cancelo - 2020/21 Performances

[domalino]

I think his performances peaked at Anfield and have been going downhill ever since.

The Spurs game was the first one where I said he was getting overconfident and complacent, trying to make things too complicated. Around about then was when Pep gave his "He needs to keep things simple" press conference, and I don't think he's listened at all.

When he's on it, he's amazing but (and I usually hate this phrase in football) I think he needs to get knocked down a peg or two and just refocus on what Delph would call the basics. Take the ball, pass the ball, shoot when it's on, cross when it's on.

Another player who saved his worst game of the season for these cunts , Walker did more in 20 minutes than Cancelo did all the game , still the best full back in the league but he has had a mare.

Gives the ball away far too much and always has

I won’t sugar coat this, he was fucking appalling today. Worse than de Bruyne and he’s getting slated.

Right from the off he was moaning, frowning, giving it away, three times he cut inside onto his left foot only to toe end a cross with his right foot, he was fucking half hearted with the Shaw run for their second goal.

It was like watching an 8 year old.

His worst traits all came together today ..................unfortunately .

Back to his worst today and threw away much of the credits he'd earned. Maybe Pep playing him in a freelance role has blurred his understanding to do the basics defensively.

Not suited to a game against counter attacking , plenty of us said walker should be playing this one

 

[bert38]

doesn't want to defend-amazed Pep didn't start Walker, of all games.

Cancelo is another victim of rotations. The guy plays 4 different positions every week.

That is a fact and spot on

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

That is a fact and spot on

Nothing to do with this. He was plain shit today. Cost us the game with his antics for the second.
Needs to get back to the way he was playing
