MOTM imo. He has to be one of the best ATHLETES England has ever seen.. I'm convinced he could have been a professional athlete of 1 or 2 other sports. He's just built different.

Spot on mate, he could have, he's an elite athlete with elite genetics, the stuff Olympians are made of, he's got years left at full back and if he can make the transition to the right side of a back 3 or even the right side hand side of a centre back pairing, he'll have another couple.
 
Been critical of walked in the past
But this season he has been amazing
Ever since England dropped him he has been phenomenal
 
Sterling probably shades it for MOTM but Walker is an absolute machine.

I think people take it for granted how good he is defensively and I doubt anyone relishes the chance to face up against him because they're essentially relying on him to have a lapse of concentration. Otherwise he's out-muscling you and beating you for pace every single time.

Love those moments when you think "oh shit, they're through" and Kyle comes screaming down the pitch and comes away with it easily.

Opposition have a 5 yard head start and he just comes through like a bustlier version of Bolt to win the ball.
 
Sat watching it last night with a United fan and he was purring over Walker and just how fast he was, no one is beating him the guy is rapid and offers us so much cover at the back.
 
Walker has been in excellent form throughout the Euros and imo is one of the best RB's in the League. Just remembered what Keane said about Kyle earlier in the season that he is an absolute car crash of a player. Humble pie being suitably served to the thug

Roy Keane left red faced after "car crash" blast at England star Kyle Walker

Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane has earned a reputation for his fiery takes, but his assessment of England right-back Kyle Walker has been made to look ridiculous during Euro 2020

Makes a change from Keane being left red faced after vigorously tugging off a dog
 
Gary Neville finally gave Walker his due after the game. He said they'd talked a lot about Shaw being outstanding in the tournament but Kyle Walker has been "absolutely brilliant" at right fullback, mainly in terms of his defensive work.

I'm sure his performances will be highlighted before the Final given how important his matchup vs Insigne/Chiesa will be to the outcome.
 
I was talking to a guy this week.. He is a very close personal friend of Alex Ferguson. Ferguson told him Walker is the most important player to England for him.
 
I am certain the Dane's gave up chasing him; it was inevitable to them that it was a pointless exercise.

Twice in the first half they had the opportunity to counter, but Kyle snuffed it out with consummate ease.

His recovery pace is almost cartoonish.

England has some pretty good rightbacks, but Walker is the best of the lot - by a fuckin distance.

He’s a physical freak. When ever City play a top team and that team has a quality left sided player, I don’t worry as nothing is getting past him. A fast winger coming up against an even faster fullback must be a huge physiological blow.
