AgreedHe wouldn't be taken off if he was playing really well.
1 good game in 3 isn't what we needHe's very average, not a bad player at all but a million miles away from being one of our key players in the 10 role next few seasons.
I can see why the manager probably doesn't rate him.
I suspect Clement thinks he’s a bit too ‘showy’ at times and just wants players to keep it simple, but I’m in complete agreement with the OP - he’s the only player we have capable of a bit of magic.He's very average, not a bad player at all but a million miles away from being one of our key players in the 10 role next few seasons.

I'd consider playing him wide, get Sterling in the middle, he'd offer far more than Silva or Wright?
Couldn't agree more. Central midfield 3 with Cantwell coming in off one of the wings and an actual winger on the other.We should be considering changing our shape currently as that "role" is providing nothing to the team most games.

Maybe he's learned his lesson, it's worth a try as Wright and Silva are giving us zero, get Sterling central and have a more solid, energetic midfield.Clement tried him wide, he took him off about half an hour in to a game because he wasn’t doing what he was meant to.
I don’t actually know what his position is but at present looks a luxury we can’t afford to have in the team.
I don’t think he provides much magic at all , hasn’t scored many goals and hasn’t made many assists all season. There’s way too many players in our team who just breeze through games and their reputations aren’t deserved laI suspect Clement thinks he’s a bit too ‘showy’ at times and just wants players to keep it simple, but I’m in complete agreement with the OP - he’s the only player we have capable of a bit of magic.
He’s our only forward player capable of a bit magic.
Stop taking him off Phil.
What did he do to justify staying on the pitch today?He’s our only forward player capable of a bit magic.
Stop taking him off Phil.
Yet he wasn’t involved in either of our goals today.He’s our only forward player capable of a bit magic.
Stop taking him off Phil.
He’s not doing enough to keep himself on.
And Lawrence isn’t doing enough either
He’s capable of moments of greatness but he’s really inconsistent.He's very average, not a bad player at all but a million miles away from being one of our key players in the 10 role next few seasons.

Butland aside not one of our others players is of the level we want and need, but Cantwell remains the one player we do have capable of running at defences and creating chances.I don’t think he provides much magic at all , hasn’t scored many goals and hasn’t made many assists all season.

Yeah, i get that feeling myself.I suspect Clement thinks he’s a bit too ‘showy’ at times and just wants players to keep it simple, but I’m in complete agreement with the OP - he’s the only player we have capable of a bit of magic.
Isn’t that the nature of a number 10?He’s capable of moments of greatness but he’s really inconsistent.
If anyone offers us money for him then I’d take it.
He does have a tendency to overdo it though.Yeah, i get that feeling myself.
If Cantwell was banging the goals in and creating chances for others game in game out then he would have license to flick and trick as much as he wanted, but he isn't.
In Cantwell's defence, he is booted up and down the place, he can handle himself, he isn't a show pony.
He does sometimes look to do too much, he can be quite greedy at times and at others he is way out of position chasing down balls that others should be taking responsibility for. Maybe they would if Cantwell wasn't in the way?He does have a tendency to overdo it though.
For example, when he’s closed down by a defender and there’s a simple pass on to get him out of it, frequently he appears reluctant to take it and instead wants to try and beat the other player. I suspect that’s what might irritate Clement.
I wouldn’t be totally surprised if he moves on in the summer.
I agree Cantwell is one of the only players that’s fit that can run at defenders but don’t think k he’s good at creating chances, his final ball at times is poor and I think that’s down to him over doing it and that gives defences time to get back and fill the spaces.Butland aside not one of our others players is of the level we want and need, but Cantwell remains the one player we do have capable of running at defences and creating chances.
Last week he was very good, today he wasn’t. And that’s our problem. We need players who can string three or four good games in a row together, not the other way
Send Mr Clement a wee note with your advice. I'm sure he'll be grateful.He’s our only forward player capable of a bit magic.
Stop taking him off Phil.
You think he's our best player ?Our best player. Only one who offers something going forward.
His subs are the same almost every game doesn’t matter what happens on the pitch , to be honest I enjoy watching Cantwell as he’s capable of something different but his final ball and goal scoring record is dreadful for an attacking midfielder . Decent fee and punt himHe’s our only forward player capable of a bit magic.
Stop taking him off Phil.
Too often that bit of magic is a disappearing act. We need whoever is playing that role to have a much bigger influence on games and much more consistently than Cantwell.He’s our only forward player capable of a bit magic.
Stop taking him off Phil.
It’s happened plenty times beforeHe wouldn't be taken off if he was playing really well.
The last time he played wide he had to be subbed because he wasn't doing his jobHe has played wide left most of his career but here he doesn't,just another in a long line of players playing out with their positions.
