I’ve written tons about Cancelo over the last couple of seasons. Flashes of brilliance, the occasional goal and clearly an extremely talented player and going forward can be exceptional at times. Defender he is not, he’s made dozens of mistakes, usually when the pressure is on, today and RM last season being the obvious examples. That mistake today is unforgivable , head in the clouds play…just did the wrong thing, in the wrong game against the wrong player. I missed a fair bit of the second half with streaming problems. The portion of the game I did see, I thought we were playing pretty well. The disallowed goal is just unfathomable, as Pep said in the post match interview, referring to the decision…..”this is Anfield” refs regularly bottle it due to the intensity of it all and it’s always at our cost not theirs. We deserved at least a draw. The Alvarez sub at 86 mins in just unexplainable, 75 mins or even 80 would be more . Foden did not take on Milner once in 96 mins, Grealish should have come on to skin him, hey ho, we lost a football game…..cue a 15 game winning streak.
