7 | Joao Cancelo - 2022/23 Performances

[St.Pauli support]

1 game for professional foul straight red right? So is that game the carabao?

He needs a couple of games out but so thin in that position we can’t do it right now

Cards and suspensions are competition specific since 2019/2020.

He will only miss the next PL match vs Brentford H
(for denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity).

He's definitely more of a creative midfielder or winger, long thought that Pep should just convert him.

But it seems like he'd rather just have him start at a RB then give him license to do either of those roles after we have the ball for a bit of time.

Don't know if Pep is wrong there, it's clearly been successful for many games, but it was cost us in some as well.

replaced by.. who exactly? You have 2 senior fullbacks, one of them injured, and a bunch of kids, for 2 positions.

Gomez is 22years old, not a kid is he? Is Haaland a kid? Is Foden or Alvarez a kid ?

Some very harsh comments..

 

[bluesmith]

Hes got to attempt the tackle he knows if he gets it wrong without attempting the tackle he's off, daft play.

 

[Starr Gate Blue]

That double whammy rule stinks. They could easily rejig it. If the penalty is scored the defender stays on. If the penalty is missed the defender is sent off.

Imo just let him score, we would have won 5-1

Said the same at the game. Not quite that easy though.

The rule is fine it just need s common sense from referees. Unfortunately no english referee has the common sense, or the competence.

The double whammy is only when a defender makes no effort to play the ball. He would have been better off letting him have the shot. First touch wasn’t great and Eddie was on top of him so unlikely he would have score.
