Cancelo 4 assists in last game and a half. Also own goal was scored after his cross. If you see highlights against Brugge you will see he could easily had a couple more. Best offensive full back. 

He is arguably the first fullback I have seen since Maldini, I think, who is better on the 'WRONG' side (for his footedness) Certainly in terms of top 3 or 5 in the world play.

Also, to lesser extent for sure, I would add (for just the past several seasons and before his injury that fucked us buying him) Leonardo Spinazzola

United's first half performance reminded me of Conte's defensive approach aka waiting-to-be-beaten setup at the Etihad in 2017. 

And Solskjaer is literally all vibes and no tactics, no plan. He is so similar to Lampard, or might even be worse than him.

This is Conte vs City 2017 level cowardice at home by Ole.

was at home I think. De Bruyne winner. Reminds exactly of that.

The one at the Etihad was worse. City were in the middle of a busy period, IIRC, and just came off a cup final and we turned up there by just strolling around with City nowhere near their best. Again IIRC, Conte said he went there in damage limitation mode

'Prepare to suffer.' The infamous words.

The 2018 one. Yep. equally bad

He's a lot worse, as bad as Lampard was in the end we did have some promising performances in season one going toe to toe with teams (although in hindsight the muscle memory from Sarri's tactics probably helped a fair bit).
