    Cancelo looks more comfortable going forward, Walker loses the ball too often but Cancelo not only carries the ball elegantly but also provides pin point crosses which are a delight to watch, can’t wait to watch him in the Euros for Portugal

      Walker does not lose the ball often. If you watch him play he never takes on players or drives forward. He only goes up to assist his wingers and make overlaps. He also stays back in corners free kicks. Pep plays him because he is as fast or faster than nearly all wingers and because of his ability to switch the play when his opposite winger is free.

  • @bexclue3007

    When Pep came to England he was often asked how/whether he adapted his style to the league. And while I'm sure he did that to some extend - had other things to worry about than in other leagues - he said and has _always_ said: "I adapt to the qualities of my players." And it shows particularly this season where he has adapted the team to the qualities of Cancelo and also Rodri - who wasn't a like for like replacement for Fernandinho, as everyone could see last season, making people wonder if Rodri was the right fit. At the same time we've seen how the offensive approach has slightly changed over the past season or two due to the loss of Sané and his directness

      Depends on what you have. If you have players like Silva, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Gundogan it'd be naïve to play with 2 flying wingbacks. Pep's Barca only had one in Alves
      On the flipside if your midfielders are more like Liverpool's flying wingbacks are a must
      I think we've seen how even just adding in one 'tiki taka' type midfielder in Thiago can leave Liverpool more vulnerable to counters at times
