#2 | Kyle Walker - 2020/21 Performances

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Amazing performance today and one of our best performers this season. He’s no Trent though

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

Hes our worst player on the ball and you would not expect that for £50M.

Like I posted he has been good signing but overpriced.

He’s been worth every penny and more.

 

[yankblue]

I thought he played well today.

Technically limited, especially compared to the rest of the squad, but generally a consistent high performer and his pace is often needed.

His cross field passing is up there with anybody else in the squad IMO. Given the market for right backs being so limited and what he can offer being brilliant, I wouldn’t say overpriced personally.

Fair enough though, all about opinions.

 

[OB1]

He absolutely has.

Does a very good job of playing the wide right guy in a back three.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

I don’t know about that he’s got the speed and power of a Trent

Signing him was the single biggest improvement to our side in 2017.

He allowed us to play how Pep wanted, he locks down half the pitch and lets us play with a line that would be (and was) suicidal without him. We don't win titles with Stones and Otamendi, or Laporte and Otamendi, without Walker being the full back who sits on half way and kills any long ball counterattack, who cuts out any pressure releasing balls to fast men over the top.

In open space running back towards his own goal, he's probably the best defender in the world, he's so powerful and so fast that you're not getting past him, he just cuts it out or eases forwards off the ball - and that's the situation Pep puts him in.

He's been worth every penny. 9 trophies in the bag and probably has a couple more years left.

Oh and 99% sure if we get past PSG in the Champions League, it will be thanks to Walker stopping Mbappé doing what he did vs. Bayern and just carrying it from one end to the other and leading 1 man attacks or waiting for the rest to catch up.

Thought he was very good today.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

His pace and athleticism is a huge asset to our side. Son was anonymous because of him.

Someone has to be the worst. That's life...however he's still likely better technically than 99% of other footballers on the ball. He's just surrounded by freakishly good technical players, so of course he stands out a bit. His own positive attributes though are simply remarkable and rare. Well worth every penny.

 

[Gundog’s Gundog]

Deserves a special mention. He’s been sensational recently and had the dangerous Son in his pocket today. He’s the best right back in the league and over the period has been since we bought him.

Agree with all this, plus the fact that his fitness record has been outstanding. An excellent buy.

Fully agree with you. He seems to get some criticism for not he by a ball playing genius and making the odd mistake but I really admire and rate him.
Always puts a shift in for the team and still incredibly fast.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Had a really good game today. Just one moment when he lost position and left his side of the defence open as he went too central.

 

[Bobby the blue]

I think he has been a superb buy I really do. A lot of people bang on about 50 million pounds for a full back but he's been worth every penny.
Has been collosal for us at times. Great full back.

 

[Centurions]

What a surprise to see your name on a post like this.

 

[Airbags Optional]

Not his greatest fan, but he has really started to play well the last few weeks. He is timing when to go and when to stay, he is also passing a bit quicker that means his lack of technical ability on the ball compared to others is not as exposed. Well done Kyle

He is a superb defender and a leader on the field with a fantastic workrate. You can't ask for more really.

 

[Gumzy97]

Dont know where to put this but hes been racially abused on social media. After the win yesterday

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Makes a lot of room for Mahrez when he overlaps him. The way he covered ground yesterday was unreal, you can see defenders shitting their pants having to track him.
