7 | Joao Cancelo - 2022/23 Performances

[Manchester_lalala]

Sometimes mesmerises me, sometimes infuriates me. Still love him though.

 

[ACCORD]

Stand out poor yesterday, gave the ball away a lot.

Stand out poor yesterday, gave the ball away a lot.

He also did this to Fernandes yesterday:-)

 

[FantasyIreland]

Far too casual at times,there were at least 3 occasions yesterday that his nonchalance could have seen us in difficulty.On the flip he can do the outrageous and create something out of nothing.....Yeah,he's up there with our most infuriating.

4/10 as a defender, 7+/10 in opponents half

Good player, don't think he has improved as expected. Needs to be careful that he doesn't get dropped. Lots of pressure now for places.

If you seriously think Cancelo has any chance of being dropped then you clearly haven't noticed how many minutes he has been playing for us.

This guy had more minutes than Ederson last season...

 

[yankblue]

Brilliant player. I know his defending frustrates some (it's adequate imo) but he is such a classy player and does things full backs simply shouldn't be able to. There's a reason Pep hasn't dropped him in nearly 2 years

4/10 as a defender, 7+/10 in opponents half

That's the thing, he is way more than 7+ in the opponents half, for most EPL clubs he would be their main attacking threat.
Face it, we have been a daft team for a decade. Even Mancini was crazily attacking despite his reputation for being defensive. Pellegrini decided playing Yara Toure in a midfield two was a bonafide tactical option and ran with the league.
And we are now stuck with a manager who takes a spectacular attacking player....and sticks him at left back. Let's just enjoy the craziness I guess.

 

[DATOIA]

And we got him for -> Danilo + 35m

 

[WallyA]

Pairs nicely with Akanji staying back and Bernie dropping to help Rodri.

No fullback can do what he does in attack, not the best defensively that's for sure, but still pretty good.

Even Trent is not close.

 

[Don Karleone]

Loves a pass with the outside of his boot. Quality today.

 

[TCIB]

If there is a world 11 now he is one of the first names on the sheet.

Had a fantastic game today including a great goal

 

[Jack74]

Oozes class

 

[K-Bo]

Don’t think he’s had the best season so far but sharp return to form today, hope it continues

 

[Gaz76]

Superb today, they are probably still trying to unravel the Southampton players necks after the amount of times he span them around

 

[Decc66]

World class today.

 

[Sk@mcfc]

Unreal today
If he did this more often defence wise he would honestly be one of best players in world
Which he is going forward
I just don’t know :)
