In terms of skill, this winger-fullback pairing is probably only behind Messi-Alves.The Cancelo and Grealish pairing has to be one of the most creative left sides in history as far as chance creation is concerned.

Brilliant today ,defensively solid and caused Chelski all sorts of problems , his link up play with Grealish is a sight to behold and they are on the same wavelength, left full back has been an issue for a few seasons , but maybe we have found the solution in Cancelo.

Both ways he was magnificent. Takes it upon himself more than anybody else in the squad other than perhaps kdb and foden to make something happen when so many of our forward players play safe too often. That drive forward into the box only to see nobody else anywhere near him was brilliant in that he decided to take the game by the scruff of the neck, it perked up our game at a time where it was becoming a bit pedestrian.
Wasn't given a lot of protection from grealish but was spot on defensively and that was the area Chelsea identified to target with both werner and lukaku coming over to that inside channel for balls but he handled it brilliantly.
Have to get him to concentrate for 90 minutes regularly because he does have too many casual moments that can cost us dearly but he's just such a joyous street footballer to watch. It's so rare nowadays as it always gets coached out of players the second they enter professional academies but I love watching him play the game like he's down the pits having a mess around.

Agree with all of this. I think Walker gives us similar drive from full-back, especially this season as his passing has gone up a level.
I said one of the most creative left sides, not the outright most.i dunno i quite liked Pires and Henry to be honest
