7 | Joao Cancelo - 2022/23 Performances

[Balotelli11/12onlyassist]

What team would leave one man with Salah. Utter madness whoever is covering. Why we pushed so many up I don’t know.

I was concerned they'd score when I saw him 1v1. Then I saw no one try to block Allisons goal kick. I knew we were done for.

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

Lost his head after the goal, fine before that

Defensively he's on a par with Phil Jones.

Defensively he's on a par with Phil Jones.

We all know he is shit at defending always has been tbh but we make allowances because of his one the ball skill .

He's been gifting up chances from the left too with his mistakes since the start of the season. Then he had that man of the match performance a few weeks back and I thought it was behind him. I know people say it sarcastically but maybe we could consider playing him as a winger in the big games, until he sorts himself out.

The problem with Cancelo is he always has at least one major brainfart almost every game, most of the time they don't cost us but today like the Madrid semi final last season it did, only Joao would go with his foot rather than his head in that situation, he just can't help himself so we have to live with it.

Exactly- so wtf was he doing as last man with Salah.

 

[Withnail]

A defender who can’t defend. Useless today.

Unfortunately, he gets found out defensively against the better teams

 

[Cricket Blue]

The elephant in the room
Great going forward and an inverted winger more or less
Absolutely terrible defender and that's the truth

 

[Brad mcfc]

Always said he plays more like a winger.
