#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.

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.

He absolutely has.

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

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

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

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.
