Was only last season he was being heralded as one of the best left backs in the world.
now that was obviously going overboard as hes not actually that good a defender, but when on song he’s a very good player and contributes a lot to the team. Equally when he’s not playing well he stinks
we‘re a better team with an in form cancelo.

Cancelo in our team as a left back is one of the best in the world, he is capable at defending and generally does well enough against the big names. The problem with him is when he does drop a stinker, it's a horrible one. To compound that even more his form has been shit, which has been doubled down on by Pep playing him at right back as well as the national team. I can imagine losing your spot to fucking Diego Dalot is a massive knock on your confidence and he hasn't looked the same since. I've said it a few times but i thought he looked closer to his usual self against the rags, he should have had a pen and i thought he tied a few of them into knots. Hope he gets a shot at left back tonight and shows us something.

This. On song he’s one of the most eye-catching fullbacks in the world, with his his strengths easily outweighing his weaknesses. A flamboyant player who adds excitement to an enterprising team. (I’m old fashioned enough to believe football is at least in part still an entertainment business.)

Unfortunately he’s been off the pace recently and so people have turned against him.

I’ve long been an admirer but my main worry is his apparent petulance, which might determine whether his heart is still in it.

How's he a mercenary just because he's discontented for not playing? A mercenary doesn't care if he's getting that much game time as long as he's getting paid a fat check at the end of the month. Cancelo has always showed to be very professional and committed to City and his stats, specially in the last season, prove that(most distance covered per game, most successful interceptions and tackles...) but most importantly how involved he has always been with the team in and off the pitch, the passionate way how he always celebrates the goals with his team mates...
 
The way pep said Mr Cancelo tells you everything about Cancelo and his attitude when not playing every game the Portugal coach dropped him in the World Cup and he moaned about it in public! Bet Pep wants him out as soon as possible
