#2 | Kyle Walker - 2020/21 Performances

[jordtheblue]

Don't get the hate Walker gets from some. Rarely lets us down and is a huge asset defending in games like tonight.

Outstanding.

 

[OB1]

His pace his vital.

 

[teddypaul]

Seems to get faster for a 30 year old, fantastic performance

 

[city warrior]

His focus this seasons is unparalleled. Focus + pace+ physicality = veryvery hard to beat and an immense asset. Against any elite competition, Ruben Walker KDB Foden and 7 more.

 

[MCFC1993]

Mbappe had 1 chance to get his legs going and Walker bodied him.

He was switched on tonight. Whenever he's switched on you know you're getting a 7/10 performance minimum.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Absolutely immense tonight.

 

[oldius]

Great performance - my MOM.

 

[pudge]

Hopefully folk can appreciate how he's our best fullback now

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Heavily overpriced hahahahhaha

 

[Brad mcfc]

Brilliant tonight. Well played Kyle.

 

[Blu3m00n91]

Consistently turns up in big games no question. It’s lesser games where the mistakes come, superb tonight

It’s mad how he’s managed to maintain his pace despite being in his 30’s.

Look at Kim Collins and Justin Gatlin, both sub-10second sprinters in their late 30s.

Gatlin ran 9.87 at 37
And (just looked this up) in fact Collins was 40 when he ran 9.93

Yeah I remember watching Collins run a sub 10 at 40 year old, his personal best was when he was 40 too (that 9.93 you mention). Modern sports science is amazing and Walker obviously looks after himself.

All those sex parties keep him fit.

All those sex parties keep him fit.

A code we should live by, low fat yogurt fuck off.

 

[Keeper!]

50million was a crazy fee for him but my word, what a signing this guy has proved to be, amazing value he has given.

Outstanding performances, never goes missing and that pace is incredible.

One of our most undervalued players and we have several.

Don't forget Linford Christie, the older he got the faster he was.

The drugs became easier to mask.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Awesome performance,his athleticism is unrivalled in the position.My MOTM.

I still believe we play better football with Cancelo and Zinc though.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

His powerful athleticism is unmatched in the PL. That said, my biggest concern with him is when he wanders (rather, gallops!) into central midfield with the ball bobbling ahead of him!

I have great admiration for his athletic prowess, but he does my head in with a few things:

1) The runs I mentioned above. That’s not his game.

2) He backs in and undercuts the opposition player when the ball is in the air, committing a foul about 95% of the time.

3) He doesn’t attack the ball defensively at the far post when it is being crossed from the right wing. Been done easy too many times that way,

4) His final ball on the overlap is rarely good. There was one tonight that was great, but literally no one attacked the six yard box because it rarely gets there.

5) We don’t utilize his athleticism at corners because we often use him as our defender because he can chase down anyone. I think he could be better used in the box. I DO realize that’s not his fault!
