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.

What an absolutely horrendous take.

He’s one of the best right backs in the world and he brings other attributes to the team such as pace, power & aerial ability, which would be otherwise lacking without him.

He’s been brilliant value for money so far.
 
There was this one moment in the 2nd half, where Kane was running at the defense with the ball. Think it was Son in the space to Walker's right. Walker tucked in narrow, almost next to/overlapping Dias to deter Kane from shooting. After Kane released the ball, Walker immediately sprinted to cover the on-running attacker (Son).

Thought that was a very very good play by Walker. Don't let Kane shoot, because bloody hell you really shouldn't let him, then using his great pace to cover the space he left.

It stuck out to me cuz it looked unusual how narrow Walker backed in to defend.
 
Best decoy in the league bar none, not many players would do as much work for no personal reward as him, never see him complain after his run's, run's the length of the pitch to take defender wide and leaves room inside.

that was when hoibergh(sp) played it too far for regullion(sp) and it went out for a goal kick
 
Overpriced for what he brings but been good signing for sure.
What does he bring out of interest??

An athlete unparalleled at the club who single handed, can alleviate pressure at heightened periods and afford others a breather. He’s been an absolute bargain, a cock no doubt, but value to the team and purse isn’t even up for debate, Pep will tell you as much!
 
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.
Spot on.
Plus, he needs bigger pockets, as Reus now is accompanied by Son, waiting for Mbappé...

Walker's physical presence combined with his fighting spirit leaves left wingers shattered as they feel early in a match they have to get behind an aggressive bulldozer who hates to give away even an inch.

On top, his passing accuracy has clearly improved and ATM he isn't even our worst player regarding ball touch (hope Raz finds his old mojo though).

Walker's latest interview was impressing. Great team player. Works his socks off to help creative players like Kev save some energy. You need those lads in a great team.

Yeah, brilliant bit of defending.

Kane was the main threat because of the quality of his finishing from anywhere and Walker cut the space where Kane could shoot and knew he had the pace to close down Højbjerg who fucked it up when Walker put him under pressure.
