2 | Kyle Walker - 2021/22 Performances

[Shaffer92]

Quite rusty but to be expected after a long while off.

The face on ziyech when he thought he was clean through only to see walker say nope! Blitz passed him and play the ball bck to ederson was priceless. That look should be called the walker, he makes so many attackers pull that face. Also fantastic run in injury time to provide the option when it would have been easy and sensible to hold position, deserved an assist. Great to have him back, he alone just nullifies the entire plan of Chelsea second half when they made their subs and decided to fill the attack with pace.

 

[MCFCFanTX]

I've never seen someone completely shut down their side so consistently. He can neutralize so many attacks by himself. Love Walks.

 

[twosips]

I think Walker is the best defensive fullback I've literally ever seen. He's ridiculous.

 

[OB1]

Best sweeper up in the business.

Pep has really got the best out of him.

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

I think Walker is the best defensive fullback I've literally ever seen. He's ridiculous.

He's so good teams don't even try it. They just don't consider the pass to be "on" if Walker is within 30 yards of the intended recipient. Or their winger receives the ball in space and starts driving forwards, sees Kyle up ahead and then just gingerly turns back and knocks the ball inside or back to their fullback

50m well spent, be incredible difficult to replace when the time comes.

When even Mbappe didn't go for the foot race you really can't say anymore about him.

It looked like a comedy sketch yesterday when Ziyech tried to run against Walker.

I think Walker is the best defensive fullback I've literally ever seen. He's ridiculous.

And to think there was a time in his Spurs days when the narrative was he was an attacking fullback that couldn't defend.

50M is small potatoes for a player of such quality and experience nowadays.

Due to his speed and athleticism I think Kyle will still playing (hopefully with us) till he's in his mid 30s, maybe longer.

Agree, be disappointed if he hasn't got another 3 years at the top.

Mbappe went for it once.

A second time he had a look and backed out.

Then he changed wing.

Wasn’t he quoted as saying Kyle was a monster?

 

[Hart of the Matter]

The main man. Glad he is back and faster than ever...

[Blu1]

Brilliant servant to city. Incredible player for us

 

[ninjamonkey]

Very good again today, defensively sound and showed a desire to at least try and make something happen when those infront of him weren't. Delivery wasn't the best at times but to be fair he's often got maybe 1 person at most to aim for in a crowded box if he's lucky.

 

[Shaffer92]

He was my MOTM. Will be a huge miss in CL.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Second half the way he saw carvalho's very good runs, just left him for half a second to entice the player on the ball to play the pass and then turn on the afterburners to intercept and get there before him was expert level of defending, nobody else can do that.

 

[Katsunari Takayama]

He should get a ten grand bonus every time he tries to help his winger by making a blisteringly fast lung busting fifty yard run to overlap and is just totally ignored in favour of a five yard square pass
