West Ham (a) pre-match thread

[CC1]

You should have bothered to check my original post,Cancelo,and after his joke of a performance last night,....he isnt.

I thought you meant Cancelo - was just checking rather than having to scroll back. Didn’t know that wasn’t allowed!!!!

But they are both still good players despite the mistakes. All players make them & you don’t judge on one game.

Cancelo is at best a back up to Walker.
Double the price of Danilo and no improvement.
Maybe he might make it as a right wing back or in midfield.
Keep him away from the left.
I cannot get over the way he turned his back to the scorer of their goal.
Nasri-esque.
Whatever peoples reservations about Garcia and Zinchenko, Cancelo cost the most of 60m more than them.
He is unsellable.

Bang on mate.

I thought Cancelo had a good game in the unfathomable right sided position he played in v Arsenal. However he was useless last night. Strange how right footed wingers can play left wing but right footed full backs seem always to struggle at left back. As soon as the winger goes on the outside they've had it.

I agree he was shit last night but he has had half decent games at left back. Not sure who else we’ve got.

You can't give professional players a break. Our club is at the top level and you need the players to be at this level. If you pay a premium transfer price you need that player to perform at that level.
Unfortunately you cannot accommodate players just to give them a game.
The left back position is up for grabs.
The right side is supposedly where Cancelo is strongest but he is way behind Walker. I would go as far as to say that Walker has improved with the challenge of Cancelo while Cancelo himself has not impressed at all.
He is comfortably the worst right back we have had in the last decade.
He is not a patch on Zabaleta, Walker, Danilo or Sagna and cost more than all of them combined.
I firmly believe that Jesus Navas is currently playing at a higher level and is now back in the Spanish squad.
Turning his back the other night was inexcusable.

A lot of what you said makes sense,but your last sentence is what has really pissed me off.

Four exclamation marks ?,...that actually made me laugh.

I was probably a bit over the top when I said that Cancelo is unsellable but I can't see any club coming up with anywhere near 60m to sign him and then pay the wages we have him on.

You are totally correct on that.

Gundo said post match that it isn’t hard for pep to pick a team at the moment as it’s a case of only being able to pick those actually fit to play (our words to that effect).
