Eh? I was talking about Walker.

 

[doobyedoobye]

Eh? I was talking about Walker.

Apologies. Thought it was related to my comments about his injury as an explanation for his poor form.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Because he (rightfully) won’t be the focus of most post-match analysis, I just wanted to say that he is becoming one of my favourite players.

 

[aguero93:20]

Best fullback we have on current form.

 

[WallyA]

So composed on the ball and great passing. I don't mind the occassional attempt at a banger.

Did well today and runs his socks off every game. Three mistakes today: cross-field ball out of play, a throw in to the middle of the park that was overly powerful and gave possession away, and a reverse pass in our defending third that conceded possession. His mistakes seem to be when he tries something harder than necessary.

I think all are down to the situation in the match, though. I very much doubt he commits all of them if we aren’t in a dominant position. And none of them were “Walker”-class mistakes.

Something to work on to be sure, but his overall contribution to our play (including directly to two goals, and indirectly for a third), far outweighs those minor mistakes. And it was all at LB!

Agree, but he’ll make such mistakes at any time; he has a wee habit of losing patience and forcing the issue rather than waiting a second and seeing what else develops. The interesting decision will come next month when Mendy is fit and Guardiola has to choose who starts at right-back in a key game.

Already did against Liverpool ?

In the more recent game, yes, but when Mendy was fit earlier in the campaign, Walker and he were chosen, with Danilo on the bench.

My point was when both Walker and Danilo were fit, Danilo was picked against Liverpool.
Must be due to Walker's (lack of) form.
I think he will do that again vs Chelsea and Arsenal.

On the basis Mendy is on the left then, I hope he does too - Walker needs some time out

Fair enough, but my point was about when Mendy is fit, and whether Guardiola will go with two more attacking fullbacks, or take the more conservative option and play Walker and Mendy.

Tbf it'll probably just be down to what the best setup is for the opponent's we're facing, knowing Pep.

That's exactly how I see it.

I hope Danilo is picked. The problem with Walker now is that teams are targeting him. When he receives the ball as an inverted fullback, teams like Wolves try to press him because they know he's not great on the ball. So he gives the ball away in bad positions. Both Chelsea and Arsenal press as well.
