7 | Joao Cancelo - 2022/23 Performances

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

The Salt Bae of football

 

[footballmanager]

can only play on the left these days, so its no surprise he didnt perform

 

[DAGW]

I think a different Cancelo came back from Qatar. Epitome of streaky/confidence. Currently pitiful.

 

[Hart of the Matter]

The worst player on the pitch. Been shite all season. Never want to see him start for city again...

 

[Ajm1985]

I said we should have sold him to anyone who'd pay decent money last summer and he's proven me right with every game since.

Fair point, I disagreed as I think he has the skillset to be a versatile asset but he's been absolutely shite this season

 

[Chak19]

He’s in one of his annual horrendous runs of form. I don’t know why it comes as a surprise to anyone every year, because it does happen every year.

Eventually he gets himself out of it and everyone forgets about these runs of form, then get surprised again the next season when he gets into one again.

He's been shit all season though, can't remember one good game.

 

[AshtonBlueMooner]

A few purple patches don’t mask what he is. A poor defender and a below average midfielder. However, he thinks he’s so much better than he is. Zero self awareness. Not the only one to be fair but one I would be looking to ship out sooner rather than later.

 

[waspish]

He needs to WAKE the FUCK Up he still mopping over the World Cup where he was dropped them moaned like fuck that he wasn’t playing like he did here for a year! At the moment he is a liability!

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

It’s not his ability…it’s him.

He has seen his arse and boy oh boy is he a mard-arse. I said a couple of weeks ago he is done here, I’ve seen nothing to change my mind and I say this as someone who has always backed him more than most on here.

He is done here. I agree. Pathetic performances at the minute.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

The #7 shirt going from Sterling to Cancelo is almost disrespectful. Pretty much polar opposites - one has made the absolute most of his ability, never hides and has worked hard to improve the weaknesses in his game. The other coasts through games, often without showing any effort, relying on the odd moment of magic to make up for his deficiencies. A phenomenal natural talent who could be so much more if he actually gave a fuck.
