He will start for us against Chelsea, and be the main man in that position ALL SEASON, and I haven't got one single problem with that...
Chelsea game is in 5 weeks. I don’t think Foden, Walker, Stones & Rodri are going to be available for that. They’ll need at least 3 weeks off now, maybe 4. Then not sure they start after just 1 week of pre-season. They’ll need to catch up. More likely to be a back 4 of Gvardiol - Ake - Dias - Akanji at the start of the season. And tbh that is stronger than anything with Walker in it.
 
His awareness is nowhere near good enough now. He leaves a free man out wide because he gets sucked into central defence and then both goals came from his side. Poor
Look at the first goal again. He had to be in the middle as none of the midfield had tracked Olmo's run when Lamal first picked up the ball. Maybe just maybe, Kyle expected Saka to track back with Williams or expected Rice or Mainoo to have tracked Olmo. Harsh to to blame Kyle for that goal.

As for the second goal when the ball is played into the centre circle that first pass took out Foden, Palmer, Saka and Watkins as the team had stopped pressing Bellend and Rice were 20 yards behind! Next pass was to a Spanish player who had nobody within ten yards of him. Cucurella meanwhile, had started 10 yards behind Saka was suddenly 10 yards in front of him and Kyle who was looking to go towards the ball as Rice wasn't was left two on one with Saka nowhere to be seen.

Very harsh to blame him for either, had no support from any of the midfield either time.

You do realise that you are replying to one of the most negative and critical posters, on BM @Eds ?

Agree totally on the first. Second I still think he could have got to ahead of Cucurella, but maybe a different angle would show otherwise.
 
He's served his time and we've gotten the best years out of him, should of allowed him to leave for Bayern.
It's no coincidence that we won the treble after phasing him out off our defence.
