Cancelo obviously has a mistake in him, always has and always will. But he really didn’t look comfortable all game with De Bruyne in front of him, and I still can’t fathom why Guardiola chose to play a completely different formation when our natural game would have exploited Liverpool’s vulnerabilities.Besides his brain stoppage, putting KdB in the right wing all game (?) who didnt defended or attacked, didnt helped Cancelo also...he seems lost when he should attack or defend with that Pep invention
To be fair though when he played at left back at Anfield last season, Salah had him on toast. He was crap. Our mistake was not buying a proper left or right back to cover. It leaves us very short when one of them gets injured. I don’t get the Gomez signing. He looks like Zinchenko did 5 seasons ago.Cancelo obviously has a mistake in him, always has and always will.

Cancelo plays much better as a left back and he’s not as versatile as many people assume. Whenever he’s played on the right this season he’s struggled.
No one could have predicted KdB kicking straight into Allisons hands, pathetic defending by Cancelo none the less, the 'Bozo' gene is strong in that lad.What team would leave one man with Salah. Utter madness whoever is covering. Why we pushed so many up I don’t know.
Don’t disagree with regard to last season at Anfield, but Cancelo is such an up and down player that I don’t think a bad performance against Salah last season would have necessarily been repeated this. He’s just better on the left in my view and ironically Salah played more centrally anyway today. I just think we have play him where his attacking play is best.To be fair though when he played at left back at Anfield last season, Salah had him on toast. He was crap.

Leg in v MartialAbysmal today.
His stupidity costs us quite often. Madrid and today for example. His worst game in a City shirt easily. & his insta about ‘mistakes being progress’ is even more infuriating.
But hey he can nutmeg people and do trivelas, so he’s the best full back in the world.
He can’t defend. At all. And he makes a living as a defender. I don’t get it. He can be the most brain dead player on the pitch.
