I think he’d lost his mojo with the injury last season, going off in the CL semifinal when we were winning only to see us lose without him, arguably missed out on the CL final because of his injury, missed out on the final day v Villa because of the injury, another injury this season that needed an operation, missed most of the World Cup, came back out of form (like so many!)…

Thought he was very good today, but was he limping all first half?
 
Surprised there’s not many more comments about him yesterday. Said it against Spurs but he’s always brave with his passing - I like Lewis but he’s not particularly brave on the ball (he won’t be at 18) and it affects us when you’ve got him on one side and Ake on the other (not brave on it either).

Walker is always looking for an incisive pass, whether it’s a switch, a ball into KDB or a ball over the top.

Glad he’s ‘back’ according to Pep, one of our most important players attacking and defending.
 
Good to have him back to his best. He walks about the place like he owns it when he’s in the mood and bullies most wingers he comes up against.

Brilliant tonight and has been since he got his place back. Good reaction to the Pep bollocking!
 
He was terrible in the 1st half. I don’t know if it was because he was expecting too much from Mahrez (he never got it), but he never got over and defended the wide areas. 2nd half he was excellent.
 
Getting back to his best. Almost getting back to full pace as well which I was worried about after 2022’s injuries.
 
Kyle like other defenders benefits so much from having Ruben as the leader at the back. It was as if some pressure was released and he can go back to doing what he is good at.

Awful. Throws his arms about a lot gesticulating to others after he has done fuck all with the ball again. Absolutely useless going forward and poses no threat whatsoever.

I hope Rico has the RW berth from now on and Walker is simply used as a sub

Helmets.
 
Surprised at the comments here.. thought he was far and away our worst player. He was better in the second half but that's not saying much considering he didn't do a single thing right in the first..
 
A good game vs Arse but it doesn't alter that he is at the start of his decline. It has happened to all our greats and Walker isn't any different.
 
Last night when we had a back three he was often up against two players as Mahrez wasn't giving him enough support to start with. Those that say he is finished are either rags / dippers or have only ever played at Hough End on a Sunday afternoon. There isn't currently a right back in the PL who I would start over him and that includes Rico.

I think the comments you are refering to where from a few weeks back,after a few inept performances,but for those getting giddy and raising their hopes,need to calm down,as he won't be the RB for very much longer,well not long term anyway.

One good game,two bad isn't good enough,that is the reason Cancelo isn't amongst the squad no more.

Now just got to nip upto Hough End as I've left my Utd scarf on there somewhere.
