Who's the best fullback in the PL this season?

[@e1br274]

Trent but if he weren’t injured I would say Ricardo at Leicester he is there standout player

There are many influential Full backs. For me there isn't a best but here are a few: Luke Shaw (Manchester United) Joao Cancelo (Manchester City) Reguillon (Tottenham) Robertson (Liverpool) Saka - Even though he isn't mainly used as a full back (Arsenal) Cash (Aston Villa) Tariq Lamptey (Brighton)

Been saying it ever since he joined City and played his first game: This guy is one of the most talented players in the City squad and is by far the best rightback in the club. Creative, amazing passing range, amazing dribbling, amazing pace, top tier crossing, has no weak foot, great shooting. Walker is a great defensive RB but can't lace Cancelos boots in all other aspects of the game. Simply a top tier talent.

[@paulmckeon8961]

Cant lace his boots is a bit harsh get were your coming from but its a squad and as staunch rb walker Overall cancello

[@brigadierradghmason7380]

Cancelo and Kimmich are the heirs of Phillip Lahm. Versatile and complete players who should get more recognition. The best RB this season is either Vladimir Coufal or Cancelo

[@jamesclifford9814]

Cancels last year always seemed good, and it seemed weird pep wasn’t playing him. But he’s on another level this year, he should be keeping Walker out the team now

[@symph760]

While it is quite noticeable how Cancelo has become a City main player, Gundogan and B. Silva as well, one player that is sneaking in under the radar unnoticed that Pep is increasingly playing often is Zinchenko. He has completely benched Mendy. May be in a few weeks his stature will rise and he will make an appearance on this channel

[@xRai99]

Has been the best fullback in the Premier this season no doubt, has the highest chance creation.

[@sirmarcusrashfordmbe6383]

He doesn’t have the highest chance creation..:. Iuke shaw does

[@rogerhwerner6997]

Just watched Cancello set up two goals tonight. Two gorgeous passes to Bernardo, one that Silva headed in tor a goal and another the silva headed to Jesus who scored. Cancello's passes were perfect!

[@ryuk3950]

[@bioferdinand9962]

Pep makes total football relive. Only works with versatile and smart players of course

[@mohitsaran4106]

Ur first viewer is from India 🇮🇳 loving ur content. Keep going!!

[@rogerhwerner6997]

Cancello fits the team's focus of continuous on pitch player rotation. Pep has his players constantly shifting positions and it works to confuse a defense alignment. If a player like Cacello moves forward he may confidently expect that his position on the back left or right will be covered. With Zinchenko on one side and Cacello (or Waker) on the other its easy for City to over load the center from either side. LaPorte played against Burnley and this let City fluidly switch from a 4-3-3 to a 3-4-3. In some games they appear to play a 3-3-4. Cancello is having a terrific season but he's surrounded by outstanding play every match.

[@noamgross8825]

Amazing video! The fullbacks are the key to modern football

[@jameshells6993]

[@rknape]

Cancelo role is a creative full back. Similar like Phillip Lahm and Joshua Kimmich who we're also coached by Pep

[@blituarik]

He's more similar to Dani Alves I think

[@roseluca8352]

Pep is just a genius, no wonder a lot player want to play under his coaching.

[@stever8669]

The biggest problem for City was that we often played a midfield that couldn't get the ball back once the team lost possession. The opposition would meet little resistance until it got to the defense. This wasn't as big a problem with Fernandinho at his peak because he was so mobile, read the game so well and didn't mind fouling an opposition player if he couldn't stop a player legally. Rodri is another matter and too stationary and not as flexible in the turn. A player with plenty of assets, he isn't the right one to make up for the defensive shortcomings that City's attacking play, left. Initially, Pep's response to this was to instill even more that losing possession was a sin. That resulted in sterile passing play that achieved little because anything that might surprise the opposition, also carried some chance of failure and losing that possession. This was compounded by the limited speed of counter play through carrying the ball or releasing/passing skills of Rodrigo when compared to Fernandinho. The safe possession mandate also made things easier for the opposition in that few City players would take on a man. Even Sterling would turn back. The only player who's mindset was 'this is how I play' was Aguero - and he continued to carry the ball and charge at players to get into the box. So unlike most other attacking City players where the need for doubling up by the opposition defense was diminished (because the pattern of play became those players not taking any chances, often just taking the safe pass backwards), the aggression of Aguero has been sorely missed. Which leaves where the team is now. The defenders have picked up the need to play offensively and all of them have the ability to make a great pass. In Gundogen and KDB City have midfielders who can create AND win the ball off the opposition. That means whoever is playing the defensive pivot isn't feeling so overwhelmed. The other wide/forward players have been given greater freedom to take on defenders and when the ball is lost they can still chase back and harry the oppositions wide attack knowing the central core is tough and their job is mostly just to slow down or cut off attacking options of the opposition. This new team make-up is the prime reason for the defense looking so much better. The team is more balanced than it has ever been and whilst a replacement for Aguero is obviously key, so is a new defensive pivot to replace Fernandinho who can also fulfil the Gundogen/KDB roles. I'd also be happy to give Fernandinho another years contract as he still seems spry and doesn't need constant action to keep him sharp. Just my opinion fwiw.

[@ianleboo]

At first people though City had been scammed. But Cancelo is really great having the ability to play both LB and RB good crossing and a really good weak foot

[@thefurbyman]

I really like him back in Italy, now he has improved so much. Glad to see players get the chance to shine.

[@rsen507]

Hey any chances of you actually liking Rodri as a player? Not a lot does really. I think Rodri is good at what he does...I like calling it "Busquet-ing". Anyways if you do can you please make a video on him?

[@FootballMadeSimple]

I think Rodri is class. Admittedly sometimes gets drawn to the ball too easily but good overall and one of the more underrated players in the league

[@bafanaditsi3413]

For me his positioning reminds me a lot of Delph when he was the left back. Early in the season choose a double pivot to assist in transitions but with Cancelo as an inverted winger come central midfield that problem is sorted. This is back to basics for Pep

[@pcwillis7131]

What's brilliant is how Guardiola has helped City in general to defend much better as a team.

[@najmussabir6051]

Pep Guardiola did this to Philip Lahm and Joshua Kimmich too. And now Cancelo ❤️

[@najmussabir6051]

@The Chosen One Yeah,he can utilise the core talent of a player ✅

[@xMythpug]

Meh, not really to Kimmich. Kimmich is a natural midfielder, he played all his youth in midfield. Guardiola played him there too (before the CBs got injured). He used him as a RB only twice (out of 50 games), Löw was the one who played him there constantly.

[@najmussabir6051]

@@xMythpug I mean using players out of position according to their ability and talents. Pep used Kimmich as a right back because he has excellent curved crossing ability and passing range. And also according to technical quality Pep used Lahm as a Midfielder. Cancelo is actually a Right Winger who played recently as a Right Back and now Pep using him as a Midfielder. Different philosophy can see different attributes into a player. Trent was also a midfielder,Roberto was also a midfielder. I didn't mean it to be exact same thing which you said. I'm talking about using players according to their talents ❤️

[@xMythpug]

@Fresh Sodaa I seriously don't know how you can say facts and statistics are "not true". I said Kimmich is a natural midfielder who played all his youth in midfield. That is a fact and it's true. I said Guardiola used him as a RB twice, that is a statistic and it's true. I said he played Kimmich as a CB only after other CBs got injured. That is a fact and true. I didn't say anything else.

[@xMythpug]

@Fresh Sodaa I don't know what sketchy and faulty site you looked up, but I get my information from the most reliable site - that lists this data - when it comes to german football: "transfermarkt.de". What "seasons" are you talking about? Kimmich came in 2015/16, in Pep's last season, so it was only one single season. And on that site it says he only played two games as a RB, namely against Hannover and Hertha. I am a Bayern fan, I watch every single game since 2009, so don't try to educate me about something you clearly know nothing about. Löw was the one who played Kimmich at RB. At the Euro Cup in 2016 he played all his games as a RB, except one where he was RM. Also I never said that your daddy Guardiola can't do that to players. I only ever said he didn't do it to Kimmich. Kimmich can play RB & CDM on a world class level. Guardiola only used him in midfield continously (his natural position), and later on as a CB (where he never played again after that season btw) because his CBs got injured and his only other option was Serdar Tasci.
