Kyle Walker : 2018/19 performances

[oldhamblue]

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.

Agree with this. His nonchalance or lack of concentration with the ball at his feet was evident at the world cup

 

[meeesh]

I'm getting even more concerned about this fella now

 

[Blue Hefner]

Not started the season well. I’d get Danilo in for a couple of weeks once fit to give Walker a rest

 

[Cobra]

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

So you think Walker is a good crosser of the ball? You must be watching completely different games to me then.

 

[blue ranger]

Started the season poorly like some of the others. He is having 2 or 3 brain farts every game. I’d send him away for a couple of weeks and get him to clear his head.

WIGAN!

 

[oldhamblue]

WIGAN!

Correct. Can't work out if he's crap or too confident when passing under pressure. It's like he doesn't look first

 

[mosssideblue]

When the team is on it, so is he. When the team struggles, he also struggles.

With Danilo having been out for a couple of months, I'm not sure this is possible.

However, I agree he would appear to need a bit of a break. Hopefully Danilo will be back soon, but I doubt he has 90 minutes in him just yet.

No doubt Kyle will be given the night off when we go to Oxford.

Still brings a smile to my cynical old mug. Love the way he's like "it's the ball boy ref"!

Best RB in the league for me in totality but his final ball needs a big improvement.

Same again today. His pace is a great asset and helped us win the loose ball back from corners etc on a number of occasions.

On the flip side, his passing was sloppy especially first 20 mins and he hit one cross that hard when through that it would have taken someone’s head off had there been anyone within 5 yards of it!

You see it too then? He's so close to be being the perfect right back!

I think we all see that and are also thinking come on Kyle you'e got a couple levels left in you..

I know its early, but Walker is worrying me. He is average to below average on the ball. He does not give us the width on the right to utilize his speed (we use our forwards and wingers), his final ball is poor we know. He is giving the ball away constantly in these first few games, and it seems to be affecting his confidence also.

IF our fullbacks are primarily going to be playing inverted then we need another RB in the Delph/Zinchenko mold. Someone to keep possession who can pass in tight spaces. These are Walkers worst qualities.

I'm not giving up on the guy, he was fantastic for us last year and everything we needed, but it could not hurt us to start looking for a 2nd right back that offers something different than Walker.

Danilo.

Literally the reason we bought him, different skillset.

True, I would like to see some more of Danilo in the games where we will dominate the ball, but I think it would still suit us to find another young right back even if that means Danilo goes. He can't be happy with the amount of playing time he's getting especially after he left Madrid where he was getting the same if not more than here.

One thing Walker gives us is his recovery runs back to holt an attack

He has been injured, how much game time do you expect him to have this season. He will play 30+ this season easy.

That’s all he’s giving us at the moment, as his passing is hit and miss and his crossing is awful.

That’s an important one thing just because how we play.
