[SebastianBlue]

Hot take: this lad is really fairly good.

I think all bias aside you have to say Walker is at least the third best RB in world football, if not better. These are per 90 numbers in each league between him, Alves, and Carvajal.

Edit: here's a CL comparison with the same metrics.

Has he gone up a few levels the past few weeks or is it just me?

I think he's enjoying playing with Bernardo tbh, it gives him the licence to overlap at will. With Sterling on the right, he has to make sure he's not running into the same space. Bernardo's weight of pass I think helps him a lot as well, he's had a few the past couple of games where the layoff pass has been perfect for him to either cross first time or take his man on with his first touch without slowing down and that makes life near impossible for the defender.

What with RM having an awful campaign and PSG probably getting knocked out of the Champions League in the next few weeks, Walker will probably be named the best RB on the planet at the end of the season. I think he's incredibly underrated, especially now he plays for us.

Signing of the summer this guy. Just goes about his business with minimal fuss. He looks hungry for it as well. Proper winner. Hard to argue against him being the best RB in the world right now. Thinking back to the summer, it's difficult to understand why there were so many on here remonstrating against signing him.

 

[Esteban de la Sexface]

Absolute brain fart for the goal tonight. Himself and Stones absolutely fucked that up between them.

 

[RayCTID]

A blot in otherwise an excellent first season at City. Fingers crossed he bounce back.

Top class defenders shouldn't be making mistakes like that. They're lower league mistakes, but, hey, Walker makes a mistake and our two rather costly CBs can't prevent a run-of-the mill player clipping one in the corner. A dog's breakfast all round.

In one. It's a piss poor mistake from Walker but the reaction of Stones and Laporte was so delayed it was borderline ridiculous. We were cut open all night.

Yeah Otamendi was total bollocks last night!
