Cancelo will look great when he has a lot of ball with the cost of the winger! But his return value cannot justify the cost!

He refused to pass to Foden too many times in the 1st half. After Grealish scored, he either ignored Grealish or passed at the wrong time. In the end his bad pass lead to the 1st goal (which was not a goal).

It is Madrid all over again!
 
Much better? 1st half he lost the ball EVERY time he had it in the final third. Play a poor pass or some rinse and repeat sidestep dribble with like a 10% success rate to buy space. Left us constantly defending counters. Ignored Phil the entire time he was on too. 60 touches, Bernie 53 touches...Phil 14. compare to Walker(61), Kev(36) and Mahrez(41) in the same timeframe. A consequence of which is making the left side of attack completely toothless. Granted he wasnt the usual defensive liability but for what he's in the team to do he was fucking shite again.

Very true. Cancelo squeezes winger and midfielder's space when he plays on the left side. He will have a lot of touches. So it "looks" better. But in the end it makes a winger useless.

It's not true. It's complete rubbish.

There's a reason why Cancelo has played more games than any City player for the last two titles. He's been great for the team and recognised by his peers and by the best manager, in contrast to a buch of clueless feckers.
 
He cancelled Rashford when they moved him to his wing in the middle of the first half that they had to move him back to his initial position.
 
He was much better today but a full back he ain't

He's the best LB in the league, and it ain't close either. Who is better than him? Genuine question.

Also, a FB in a Pep system may be something completely different from what 'FB' stands for in most people's heads.
