He was quite good. Not surprising at all, his advanced stats last season had him in the 99th percentile for shot stopping
my favorite Erling Haaland nugget is that he won the Fifa U20 World Cup Golden Boot. And he only scored in 1 game. [did not know where to put this, but was going down a youth soccer rabbit hole trying to find some semblance of an American striker in the pipeline]
This season been harder for me to follow with my toddler and work schedules but I was able to catch 2nd half at work today on my phone. Nice come back
So what’s the deal with ovaltine Cancelo? Asking for fantasy purposes bc since the WC break he has barely seen the field.
His minutes were lower than expected at WC also and just seems to be in poor form when he does play Hopefully some benching and Pep laying into the squad yesterday gets him kicked into gear
Very strange loan, could maybe understand if hes trying to maintain form with a big international cup in the summer
there has to be some friction with Pep bc Cancelo rotation/minutes were not consistent since the restart figured it was an undisclosed injury but clearly some falling out
Yeah Jack Gaughan is very reliable and says the relationship has deteriorated over minutes. Saw another writer point out he has the most minutes of any defender and is only behind Rodri, KDB, Ederson, Haaland, and Gündogan for minutes
Clearly Pep lost some faith in him defensively and I think Peps been trying to tweak the system to fix the defensive breakdowns which has led to Cancelo on the bench for a good stretch. Sounds like Cancelo has not taken it well and has been a distraction in training
Good for Grealish. Also my nephew whose a Chelsea fan btw which makes this funnier, decided it was a good time to call out Haaland for no showing big games about 5 minutes before his assist and goal. So Arsenal fans can blame him for the jinx
Good for Grealish hitting a weak shot straight to Ramsdale that got a stupid deflection Congrats on win but Grealish being the hero is kinda hilarious, De Bruyne won that game
Grealish has had some good games and had no stats to show for it. Good for him for having one go in, all that was meant by it. He had a solid game too. KDB was great, Haaland had I think one of his best games at City doing other things beyond just scoring.
