Kyle Walker : 2018/19 performances

[FantasyIreland]

Glad to see there's been no wild, emotional overreactions in here about a person overreacting. Oh wait...

You didnt have the pleasure of the match thread than??

City fans we are always obsessed with our full backs going back to ranson edgehill, frontzec etc etc

We love to have a go at our full backs . It’s our favourite position to have a go

Its bizarre. Walker overreacted, but he had some sort of lower back injury which hed had treatment for, and then the Brighton player gave him a massive shove in the back. Hes got the biggest game of his life on Tuesday and he was probably already in pain and worried about if he was gonna make it before the Brighton player shoved him. Rush of blood to the head, it happens sometimes, hes certainly not the first City player to get close to a red card this season.

Now hes all of a sudden the dumbest player in history, got subbed to send a message, was crying on the bench because Pep ripped him a new one, and a complete liability who we need to get rid of.

I dont know if it's the quadruple or the title race being close, but the last couple of weeks on here have been ridiculous, every tiny thing being blown up.

People are whiny little fools is just about the crux of it. If a popular player had done that it'd have been brushed over in seconds - Aguero for example. It'd have been forgotten about within ten mins. Guaranteed. Walker isn't popular recently, hence why people are frothing at the mouths to have him crucified. It's a bit weird tbh.

So is he a doubt for Tuesday?

Some people are going way over the top but it was an idiotic thing to do. We missed out on a great chance to win the domestic treble last season because Delph got sent off v Wigan and Guardiola seemingly didn't forgive him for ages. Walker could've easily done the same yesterday. I wouldn't be freezing Walker out or anything but I'd definitely rather see Danilo against Spurs.

From where I was sitting today it looked a straight red and he was lucky to stay on the pitch. Surprised the cheating twat Taylor didn’t send him off

From any vantage point it was a straight red. He is lucky he plays for a big club. That's a big club privilege call. There is no view under which it's not a red.

People call it luck, but it wasn't luck. It was simply bias in our favor.

The stamp was also a definite red.

Oi,be respectful.....

Dax has spoken.

Walker is a cog in our machine, an important cog, no need for the criticism he receives here. He has limitations but we already knew them.

Never understood why footballers do that head to head thing. Always a bit stupid to me.

It was dumb, but he's never been the smartest footballer. And there was provocation.

But he's part of our Centurions team, for me that earns him a bit of a free pass. So I ws disappointed with what he did, it could have cost us but thankfully didn't (I agree with someone earlier that thought we would win with 10 anyway).

But I think people are getting carried away with the abuse.

Why exactly did Jahanbakhsh push Walker?
How did he want to win the ball?
Why did he stamp on Kyle's thigh?

Even after more strict German reffing this is not a red,
it was more like "aggressive standing".
Cool down emotions, a yellow each and go on playing.

Kyle had good reasons, which was pain and the foul being pure provocation.

Without Kyle's reaction Jahanbakhsh deserved a clear yellow, VAR could justify red for the stamp. So what?

Finally stop insulting Kyle for being angry about that bastard.

No , you are correct.

But it was hardly a definite " posturing " red.

Can you kindly point to where I insulted Kyle?

I'll wait.

 

[Dax777]

The stamp was also a definite red.

Is there anything in my response that suggested it wasn't? I don't believe I addressed that at all.

As far as I am aware this is NOT the Jakanbashk thread. However, it is the Kyle Walker thread. Hence my responding to post discussing a Kyle Walker incident.

Silly me, I thought of all people you'd have appreciated that :p

 

[Indaparkside]

He’s won the premier league 2, league cups charity shields and still has years to go!!!! Not bad for someone some of you describe as a pub player.

Oh Dax......

No it isn't the Brighton players thread because we don't have one,and because the stamp was the reason Kyle reacted then it's relevant to the discussion regarding his red.

Your neediness must be a huge burden.

Oh sorry, I picked the wrong term in my annoyance, my bad. I meant 'accuse' instead, honestly.
Sorry again.

But that doesn't change the main points of my post
and the questions you preferred to remain unanswered.
But hey - let's assume they've been rhetorical and just disagree. That's fine with me.

It doesn't matter if he had good reasons or not. I don't care if a player drop kicks him off the pitch he should not react to it. Doing so risks getting sent off and putting the team at a disadvantage and even costing us the match. It was a semi final that was finally poised and on another day he gets a red card for that. If he is incapable of controlling his emotions no matter how justified he feels then he has no place on the pitch.
