2 | Kyle Walker - 2023/24

[pride in battle]

Absolute howler today.

Probably the worst I've seen him play, awful, and I'm a huge fan.

Liability right now. Him being captain and one of just 6 defenders in the squad is what's getting him starts. It's so easy to turn inside him right now which is the biggest worry. Things like constantly making shit decisions and shit passes are things you can rectify easily if he just stops trying to do more than his limit, but there's fundamental errors that are consistently occurring now.

Without an upturn he's going to have to accept a reduced role next season as a specialisy for certain games only as this isn't good enough to be playing every single week.

There are fine line between rightful criticism and outright hatred based mostly on his off the field stuff.

Regardless i still respect and support the man even if he isn't at his best today. The guy like him will be very difficult to replace if he does go next summer.

I haven’t read any hatred for him.

You must miss out a match day thread then.

You must miss out a match day thread then.

The matchday thread is renowned, but this is the Kyle Walker performance thread and people are reasonably being critical after this and recent games

If that kind of thing is reasonable for you then i will not saying anything further at this point.

His age is starting to show, that said he’s been nowhere near as bad as posters in here suggesting. If he’d been half as bad as some say he wouldn’t be starting almost every game for Pep.

Oh Kyle. Stop the nonsense of leaving the winger to have a free run, whilst you jog into place, and then thinking your pace will get you out of trouble. He‘s being targeted repeatedly because he is now becoming a weak link. He’s been a fantastic servant but time to move on at the end of the season. He’s a liability from a positional perspective and his pace is finally waning.
Time to bring in the new Kyle and a new pacy left back too.
Lift the trophy lad and then back over the Pennines to Shef Utd to see out your career, or B Munich at a push.

 

[WallyA]

Im comfortable with either Ake or Gvardiol at leftback, and for the future.

For RB I really only trust Akanji, Walker has too many faults.

We need a new RB, defensive or super attacking, this summer.

 

[Withnail]

Walker seems to have lost and yard of pace this season and he had a poor game today. He is far too sloppy in possession and I think the time has come in the Summer for Pep to start looking at bringing in a new rb.
