Kyle Walker : 2018/19 performances

[Dax777]

Another one to compete with Gundogan and Mendy the season is off to a flying start

Lol. You are on a mission to spot all the flapper favorites :)

MOTM performance and a truly wonderful strike.
Dock his wages for his hosiery hooliganism, mind.

 

[01cravend]

Said last week that he needed to offer more going forward, not expecting him to be like Mendy but more like Zabba in getting to the byline and crossing/pulling the ball back into dangerous areas. Done exactly that yesterday, very good performance even if ignoring that strike.

 

[Blue Bogey]

Was top of his game yesterday.

 

[lancs blue]

Fabulous strike but that's it for the season Kyle, any more efforts will just end up in Row Z. ;-)

Looks like Walker is getting squeezed out of the England side.

Nominated for worlds best defender, part of the best defence in the country, PFA TOTY, part of the best side the country has ever seen, RB with the most assists in the league last season...

But I suppose when Gareth Southgate's gameplan is hope for a set piece, being behind the only competent set piece taker is going to be a problem.

I mean Walker isn't natural at RCB and feel Southgate prefers Trippier due to his crossing ability at RWB and set pieces as you say

As a city fan its disappointing but as an England fan im happy to see a 21 year old pushing into the first team...unfortunately that Gomez plays for the Dippers

A free kick and a couple of good corners seems to have fooled a lot of people into thinking Trippier is a great RB. He's not. He's decent, nothing special.

Seems to be going under the radar that he’s been bloody average as anything apart from the Newcastle game this season.

He wasn’t particularly impressive for the last few months of last season either.

Did he do anything particularly wrong? Pep uses him as more cover for the counter attack than him masquerading forward in the way Zaba did.

Think he's been fine and will benefit from the competition of Danilo

Thought he played pretty well myself, I agree.

 

[Hungarian blue]

He had an unusual amount of lovely long passes to our attackers, mostly when he moved to LB.

You've got a poor memory. He was impressive from day 1, racked up a bunch of assists while we played the 352 early on and won pretty much everyone over within a month, despite loads of people not liking the transfer when it was happening.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Absolute shite tonight. Overhit crosses and why did he take that free kick?

 

[Cobra]

Lineker was right, we spent £50 million on a full back who can’t cross. It’s incredible just how poor his crossing is at times

 

[Phil1]

One of many players not quite at the races so far this season. Hopefully it won’t be long before he’s back to his one fuck up a game best.

 

[dave_blue12]

Limited footballer who thinks he's way better than he is.

His sheer pace papers over a lot of cracks in his game.
On his day he is a dangerous threat to the opponent. But technically he is the poorest in the squad by a distance imo.

No, Lineker was fucking shite in his 'analysis' and so are you. Maybe watching our actual games would have helped, though.
