2 | Kyle Walker - 2024/25

I still think he is quick, quicker than most anyway. I don’t think his form is due to him getting a bit slower, he isn’t concentrating.

I find it hard to criticise a player that has given so much to us, but I wish he would start concentrating more if he is to carry on playing.
Personally I think he has always been a bit like that, but when he was at his quickest, his pace pulled him out of the shit. So his mistakes weren't highlighted as he usually recovered and dispossessed the opponent or forced them to pass the ball backwards.

He is making those same mistakes now and CAN'T recover. Hence why he looks a shadow of the player he was over the course of the last 6 years.
 
I don't worry about him losing a yard of pace, he's still quicker than most.
I worry that he reluctantly wants to pass a ball forward or put a cross in because 9 times out of 10 it doesn't go to a city player.
Also seems useless in the air these days for a defender

My worry is he's costing us a goal a game when he plays. How he doesn't know the offisde line is set by the CB is beyond me. The amount of time he plays everyone on is frankly ridiculous. This isn't a new thing either.

And yes, he is still quick but he falsely thinks hes still blistering quick and gives himself the same recovery run, only now he cant make up the extra yard he needs because he gave himself too much to do.

Been a superb signing for us. But the majority if his game is built on him being a physical specimen and age is taking it away from him, so whats left isnt good enough for an elite team anymore.
 
Give over. Zabeleta was good and a club legend.

Walker has been amazing. The best right back in the league for years in a team that won 4 in a row.

Pep has said he hadn't trained and wasn't match fit in the early part of the season, yet asked to play because other defenders were injured or can't keep fit.

It's sad to see a large part of the fanbase turn on him as he's hit this patch.
Don’t mistake Bluemoon for a large part of the fan base. It’s a drop in the ocean.
That said, Kyle hasn’t been anywhere near his peak powers, which is understandable given his age and carrying injuries. Unfortunately the time comes for all players to move on and on this season and last season’s performances Kyle is on a downward trajectory that’s unlikely to reverse substantially.
That doesn’t take away from the fact that he is one of ours and Englands best ever fullbacks. Nobody can take that away from him.
I agree, some of the criticism is OTT but in fairness he has been making mistakes that he never previously made, this season and last, and no longer has the same pace to get himself out of trouble.
A worthy replacement has to be found for next season, if not earlier.
 
There are people out-and-out bullying football players on social media right now, and Walker is taking the brunt of it.
Non of us on here or on social media will be able to say we've performed at 100% every time we walked through the door at work, but somehow footballers a different? Are they fuck.

Folk all to easily forget that despite their millionaire privileged lifestyle they are still human beings with the same set of emotions every other human being on the planet has barring psychopaths. We expect them to be perfect every time they set foot on the field, yet nobody outside of a small circle of people has the first fucking clue what is going on with them physically and mentally.

Despite the shitstorm, Walker is still willing to pull on a shirt and try his best for us, but it's not happening for him right now for whatever reason. Pep is managing the team as best he can with the cards we've been dealt, and if that isn't working so be it. Calling him out on social media isn't going to solve anything.
Social media is full of all the cunts in the City fanbase (we do have them, just like all fanbases) who are more interested in getting interactions than supporting the manager and the players

I’ve called out one tit on X who basically admitted that’s what he’s doing:



And I’ve been calling out others with ‘City…’ in their account name and blue avatars all day over the same sort of thing. They can all fuck off from our support.

Sad thing is when they spill onto the forums and you see that same level of bollocks being posted on them.

‘Supporters’ my fucking arse!

As if any of the players need digging out in the way some have been, especially Walker.

I’d fucking love for him to score the winner at Juve or especially against United on Sunday, these kind of fuckers would probably be disappointed that it’s him who scored even though it’s against the Rags.

Blocked that account ages ago. One of the worst offenders.
 
Aren’t a lot of the social media gobshites from foreign shores? Not that I’m xenophobic but I’m talking about the sort of person who’s never been to Manchester (let alone York!) and whose only big decision - apart from when to take the next wank - was whether to “support” City or Real Madrid.
 
He wears a Blue City shirt. He plays for MANCHESTER CITY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD.
Pep rates him, Pep picks him. He gives 100% and more. Come on Kyle show ‘em kid, show the nay sayers, show the internet fools where to shove their nonsense.
JMHO :-) Don’t like it? Tough I can live with that. He’s City through and through.
