2 | Kyle Walker - 2023/24

Maybe he has the heart to be captain but not the brain.

He made one mistake ?




Anyway, came here to say how well he did after his brainfart. Usually players get determined and lose focus but he got both right and was instrumental in getting the winner.

Anybody else get unreasonably annoyed when they see players handing their shirts to rival fans at the end of the match? Saw walker do this yesterday. I get he's from sheffield and a local lad but giving your shirt to a sheffield united fan who will have no real interest in it other than to get a bit of attention out of it and then have their parents flog it on ebay over giving it to a city fan in the away end who may do the exact same thing but is much more likely to actually appreciate it annoys me more than it should.

What will the advertising screen cost him?

Made himself look a bit silly didnt he

Agree. Has to be Rodri or Dias. I'd go Rodri cos he isn't scared to call someone out and leads by example

Kyle is playing superb recently. I hope he stays as 2nd or even 1 st choice for the captain.

imo dias may not wear the armband but he is our captain

 

[freshie]

His fuck wasnt the mistake, it was the way he lay on the deck like a teenager and watched a passage of play or 2 and let his teammates deal with his fuck up that disappointed me

I like the man, but hes no skipper at all

Yeh it was really petulant. Not what you’d expect from such an experienced player

 

[Blueroses]

Loved this break down of mentality in team epitomised by Walker against Sheffield on weekend.

When will the senior group decide on the captaincy?

Weirdly enough, I actually think he is doing a fine job as a wide fullback. He actually has contributed to the attack more meaningfully than I would have expected.

My only problem is that it's still just inferior to having a flat out winger there, and he is so far out that he isn't the one relied on stopping counters, but the wide RCB. But when he comes back he is obviously a better defender to have than whoever plays on the wing.

I think whoever play RW is clearly benefitting from having the freedom to roam inward like Foden or Bernie have had so far, they are essentially acting as attacking midfielders, but just defend out wide.
