Ah, okay. Even then, his comments from yesterday about it being a "team game"(which is true), hardly acknowledged that he's been far off it on a personal level this season.Think Kyle was saying Sam was disrespectful of Marcelos not of himself.
I'm pretty sure he'll be aware he's been off the boil.Ah, okay. Even then, his comments from yesterday about it being a "team game"(which is true), hardly acknowledged that he's been far off it on a personal level this season.
Our team motto has been #Together for a few years. I guess he’s saying we win together and lose together and don’t pick out individuals.Ah, okay. Even then, his comments from yesterday about it being a "team game"(which is true), hardly acknowledged that he's been far off it on a personal level this season.
Maybe that's his level now,pace is a strange thing and he's kept his to an 'oldish' age but players seem to suddenly lose it and maybe his has dropped and he doesn't know how to compensate for it. We may well have seen the best of him and he'll not get back to that level.I'm pretty sure he'll be aware he's been off the boil.
He might also have a niggling injury hampering his top speed.Maybe that's his level now,pace is a strange thing and he's kept his to an 'oldish' age but players seem to suddenly lose it and maybe his has dropped and he doesn't know how to compensate for it. We may well have seen the best of him and he'll not get back to that level.
Fair point, I actually want us to go back to the tail end of last seasons defence but i ain't the manager and Stones is made of blancmange.Maybe that's his level now,pace is a strange thing and he's kept his to an 'oldish' age but players seem to suddenly lose it and maybe his has dropped and he doesn't know how to compensate for it.

Very true. As a hockey fan, Ovechkin is one of the best goal scorers of all time and scored 42 in 73 last season. This season he looks a complete shell of himself and has scored 5 in 29.Maybe that's his level now,pace is a strange thing and he's kept his to an 'oldish' age but players seem to suddenly lose it and maybe his has dropped and he doesn't know how to compensate for it.

I thought it was Ederson that had passed it at firstGobsmacked I tell ya, amazing, Shirley a miskick :-)
Short memories as he said.I'm not sure any annoyance is justified to be honest.
What he said about United is exactly what Pep has said whenever asked for the last 7 years. Why would anyone think Walker would break ranks and say something else?
I don't think he's avoiding responsibility, he's just a 33 year old who's seen this entire circus before. He was there at Christmas 2020 when half the forum wanted Pep fired because we were 8th, and he was there lifting the tophy in May. He was there when we were 2 goals down against Villa and lifted the trophy an hour later. He's seen the fans and media turn on this side a dozen sides and then have to walk it back a few weeks later.
He's seen the football machine want him replaced with Danilo, Cancelo, Stones, Akanji, Rico at City and TAA and Trippier and James for England and he just puts his head down and in a month or a years time the managers are picking him for every game still.
You could easily claim the interview shows he's not phased by criticism and he's an experience winner not panicking about City's position in the season if you wanted to, some of the attempted inferences into his inner psyche in this thread are absurd, and all of the abuse he's getting for poor form when there's 10 players just as out of form as him would suggest he's actually got a point.
