Until he's put under pressure. Against West Ham he completed 93% of his passes. 94% against Bournemouth. But against Newcastle, when put under pressure, that dropped to 76%That’s such a poor take.
Kyle Walker is usually a very good passer of the ball (not so much long crossfeeld passes). He passes at around 90% completion rate, compare that to someone like Chilwell who is at around 83% or Alexander Arnold who is at 72% and Walker actually suits our team as his short passing game is good.
well said, give the lad some slack hes earnt itNot great from him yesterday - the inverted fullback thing clearly doesn't work for him when up against someone playing with the pace, power and intensity of Saint Maximin, but hopefully that's a lesson learned.
Think he probably knew he'd not covered himself with glory. The decision not to lay the ball off to Kev and instead tried to deliver the cross himself (badly), smacked of someone looking to make up for a bad day at the office.
Bad game, but he's been incredibly good for us on balance over the year, so might be a bit too soon to crucify him just yet.
Come on - knee jerk reactions are what this forum is all about ;)Not great from him yesterday - the inverted fullback thing clearly doesn't work for him when up against someone playing with the pace, power and intensity of Saint Maximin, but hopefully that's a lesson learned.

When I asked Kyle Walker to explain his ridiculous actions I got his PR agent telling me...
Can’t believe shit he’s getting after one poor game he has been one of our most consistent players in last few years ffs
i dont think Kyle is clever enough to play that role moving central in midfield like Joao is? Just leave Kyle as the attacking right back he has always been and stick to him doing what he has done since he has been at the club. He looked lost yesterday doing his role and ASM ripped that right side to shreds in the first half.
