Genuinely interested why @Sheikh rattle and roll thinks he's one of the best in the world

What do you think of KDB ?
( I think he is top 5 in the world )
What do you think of him losing the ball 2/3 down the pitch prior to the goal ? (Walker gets pelters for his defending)
What do you think of Ederson shocking mistake in mid week ? ( I wouldn’t swap him)
Guess what these things happen in football and we move on
I can’t believe the vitriol against our own players
It’s a wonder half of the people bother supporting us - we are apparently that bad

Let’s keep it real shall we
He is one of the best full backs in the world
We have some of the finest players in the world in every position
However we have fans that constantly slag off our stars .god knows why
The majority of these fans would go into total melt down if they had to watch the likes of Jamie Pollock in midfield on a weekly basis

One of the best full backs in the world? Now? What world would that be? He's a fucking mess both on the field and off and shouldn't be anywhere near a regular on a team of this magnitude at present.
How the fuck he's the captain at City is mind boggling at the very least. Stop with the bullshit. People can laude his contributions after he's retired, not while he's helping to fuck up our current season...

I don’t support his Acton’s off the field !
However perhaps it’s time for you to go and support someone else ?
Do you know the definition of supporter?
Was Haaland poor yesterday ? - yes , let’s get rid !
Was Alvarez poor ? Oh yes get rid of him a as well !
Doku didn’t score ? Time for him to go !
Finally Pep lost us 2 points with his tactics - let’s get big Sam in
Tbh we have different views and I cba arguing all morning about it
There isn’t many in the world if would swap Walker for yes he will need replacing soon
Isn’t that why we love football
Up the blues and enjoy your weekend

Why do you think Kyle Walker is one of the best fullbcks in the world?
Is it too much for you to answer that simple question?

Support someone else because I think Walker needs to be sat? WTF are you talking about? Don't bring in other players to try and paper over your weak position. You're making about as much sense as Walker's decision to back heal a ball in our own box at Sheffield in the 80 something minute.
You enjoy your weekend as well.

Ah, some fans only allow certain players just the one mistake and for that mistake, whether it results in a concession or not, they are never allowed back in the fold. We've had some shite at City over the decades I've been watching, but there's ne'er been a player I haven't wanted to do well no matter how limited their talents were - Samaras, Corradi, Flood, Ben Haim, Ezzie Mangala - I could add another hundred but I think yer'll get the piccy!

Absolutely nobody plays badly deliberately
Right I really need to go and play tennis I’m getting sucked into a rabbit hole here
Yes I’m gutted we drew like everyone else
But we are still very much in the mix for three trophies

Ah, missed that

"Recovery speed,(allows us to play the high line) tenacity, leadership ,the will to win, consistency , one on one duals"

Recovery Speed - don't you think he is losing that?
Tenacity - Can't see that myself - any examples?
Leadership - certainly none evident on the playing field and I doubt you know for sure what leadership he shows in the dressing room - so any any examples
Will to win - I would expect that from any professional sportsman, else theyre in the wrong job
Consistency - certainly not this season, and was left out a lot of last, so not sure where you are seeing that
One on one duals - not any more

I'm not having a go at you, but interested in why some see things so different to others

It's obvious from your reaction you're the sentimentalist/romanticizing type of supporter and I've struck a nerve regarding your view of football as sport. I'll refrain from exchanging my pragmatic opinions with you going forward...
 
His head seems all over the place in recent weeks, of course no coincidence with the off the field stuff. Its getting tiring seeing him make the same mistakes that seemingly everyone sees other than Pep.

We dont exactly have an abundance of RBs but we need to take him out the team for a couple weeks I think.

He just had to hold his position and show Sterling on his weaker left foot instead of rushing in and ending up on his arse. And not for the first time this season

Did the exact same against Newcastle for 2 of their goals.

It just shows how limited his footballing brain is as a defender, as I'm pretty sure it's common knowledge to show the attacker onto his weaker foot, especially if that means pushing him away from goal.

You watch the replay and Sterling is in no man's land if he keeps him on his left foot, but he has to be prepared for Sterling to try and cut back inside.

Comical defending from him, and that's all after his shocking positioning for the original pass from Jackson.

Because he’s not a good defender, nor very smart.

He’s been a fabulous servant to the club,
made huge impact going forward and his pace saved the team countless times over the years but now that he’s being asked to genuinely defend rather than rely on being able to outrun people he is being exposed badly unfortunately.

Maybe when Walker has an outstanding game , you can come on here then give the benefit of your hindsight after the event.

I can’t give you the benefit of my foresight, can I, unless you want me to catalogue the usual mistakes he makes…

- Backing into players and undercutting them instead of jumping

- Giving them a running start down the wing and not addressing them 40 yards from goal, but jockeying them until they get in the box and he can’t tackle them

- Oh wait, he rarely tackles them anyway, so why worry

- Bombing on an overlap (good) but when he doesn’t receive the ball, not recovering into a more defensive position (bad)

- Making poor decisions on his positioning, as he did numerous times against Chelsea

- Running through the midfield when a simple pass is on

- New Wrinkle: Shooting from over 25 yards with the game on the line. Had a good shot in one recent game and now he’s Roberto Carlos!

Ironically, the one he had yesterday was the closest he’s come to actually scoring this season. Although that’s admittedly not difficult.

Just, as you expect with Walker, it was just a dreadful decision to make considering it was the 92nd minute and they had a man down.
