Something to maybe see in the long term, but in the first 20 minutes there were two occasions where he whipped a pass into Bernardo just outside the area. In a similar way Mendy does to De Bruyne.

That's possibly a sign as to how both his and Bernardo's games are being developed.
 
The almost penalty was dumb, and Neville was right to say it's becoming a very bad habit.

But other than that I thought he had a good game at the back in all honesty.
 
Not sure if Walker is a bit thick , he has given two stupid penalties away and one for England and he does it again but is saved by the offside flag , for all his qualities , he is becoming a liability in our own penalty area , he can do his barging and niggling fouls but do them outside the box. One of the best defenders i have seen and one that didnt dive in was Tony Book , he jostled players and stayed on his feet , even George Best never got the better of Tony Book. The captain is still involved at the club perhaps he should have a quiet word with our own resident penalty area idiot.

He's like Otamendi in reverse in ways. Otamendi was ridiculously haphazard at times but he was a surprisingly good defender in the box. I think the only penalty he gave away was the weird handball in the CL (although he was lucky not to concede one against United I think). Walker meanwhile is usually very good at what he does but he's become a risky player to have around the penalty area.
 
Said prematch.....how Kyle performs largely influences/coincides with how the team performs as a whole.

He wasnt at his best last night,and we were fortunate to get away with one of his frequent brain farts.

You honestly think it was a foul on Rashford?
 
At least Sterling got kicked on the knee, I looked at it a few times yesterday and failed to see any contact and the scream he made was just embarrassing
He wants to concentrate on his football instead of trying to become the next Bob Geldoff

I thought he kicked his foot much like the Brighton one a few weeks ago. Thought it was a definite pen going off how pens are given these days.

The scream was embarrassing though.
