#27 | João Cancelo - 2021/22 Performances

[Manchester_lalala]

At Defending I'm talking about and at that he's nothing to write home about.

He doesn’t really have to defend much, but when he has to he does a fairly decent job. He has his moments of madness but that’s normal for a defender. You said he’s pretty useless at left back, which is misleading as he’s arguably been one of our best players this season, playing from left back.

which is also misleading as he has played well in the attacking sense but not in his defensive duties , anyway lets hope he has a stormer tomorrow and bags a goal or two.

He is the best left back in the league. How useless can he be?

Best but worst left back in the league.

 

[Deleted member 81382]

A few sloppy passes today which I think could be down to tiredness, he's played the most football out of anyone in our squad this season. Still cut out a few counter attacks and what a goal that would've been near the end.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Playing for anybody else he would be their number 10. The guy just oozes class.

Made a mockery of the idiots that still claim he can't defend too, his positioning and covering play was exemplary all game

 

[Blue Potato]

Thought he was very good defensively today, including an excellent bit of covering in the second half. Also sprinted half the length of the pitch to support Grealish in the last 5 mins whilst 4-1 up, you could tell he wanted more - proper Blue and a proper player. Imagine if that volley had gone in…

 

[DATOIA]

He is risking too much sometimes, needs to calm down a little bit...

But in overall - fantastic player without a doubt...

 

[Withnail]

Would have been some goal if that scissor kick had gone in.

 

[bert38]

Crucial tackle at 2-1. He’s certainly fun to watch.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Cancelo has made 196 passes in the 2 derbies this season.

This is just 13 shy of Fernandes (67), McTominay (69) & Fred (73) COMBINED.

Yeh, made 2 excellent recovery tackles in the second half

 

[Tevez City]

 

[skillman]

Imagine that volley near the end went in. Christ.

 

[NQCitizen]

Not the best footballer on the planet, but the most well-rounded. Ridiculously high level at every aspect of the game. He's even making the recovery runs over walker now.

 

[alexmcity]

Similarly to Rodri, his form has dipped a bit. And similarly to Rodri, his form will improve over the next weeks. This season is not last season.

 

[Sibierskii]

Love the way he celebrates

In the case of both players Pep rates them and knows when he wants to use them - thats good enough for me

 

[samarasra]

His quality is best judged when absent. A huge loss.

 

[Durham Blue]

Anyone know what is wrong with Cancelo ? Pep said pre-Sporting match “illness”?
Hopes he’s back soon!
