2 | Kyle Walker - 2024/25

Mr HJ said:
Every game now he costs us - today in that half we looked worse and 2 actions summed him up:

1. Not doing the right thing for the team and taking a booking when Rodgers broke into our half - all teams including today JM do it several times to stop us moving forward.

2. We are losing 2-0 and his only communication is to our forward players to come back deeper to save him - tells me while he is struggling he only cares about himself.

First action I want from Pep now is to get him out of the first team squad - let him get his head straight. Yet from all accounts when he trains with the kids he is the worse player on the pitch - so hell just fire him!

training wityh the kids??
 
Dreadful again.
He’s been fantastic over the years, but I don’t think he should see another minute for us. Utterly done.
 
For the inifite time we know he is finished but he is also currently playing through injury. We cannot magic a new RB out of thin air.
 
Nothing he can do about time catching up with him but go down with some fight.

None of us know whether he is carrying an injury or not as rumoured and how severe it is if indeed he is, it may seem noble to continue to play but If he cannot battle and fight as a bare minimum then don't declare yourself fit

It's like he doesn't want to put the effort in at times because he doesn't want to be shown up

Thanks, bye.

It’s hard to get skinned twice, 60 yards apart, in the same attack, by the same player, who then scores the goal that wins the game…but you managed it within minutes of coming on!

If you’re not fit, thanks for the effort, but it’s costing too much. If you are fit, it’s clear to see your pace is no longer making up for your defensive weaknesses, which have been glaringly obvious to all for years…but the pace usually made up for it.

You can’t tackle, every throw in is a spun foul throw, you can’t cross (but then you can’t stop a cross, either, so there’s that!). You rarely beat a player for a header, esp on the back post, because you just don’t track the player, his run, or his leap.

Your favorite tactics are:

1) Take the ball while facing the left touchline, pivot on your left foot, while dragging the ball back with your right foot, then opening up your body to pass to the right winger. Lather, rinse, repeat…and possibly why you were one of the back four targeted for a quick high press by Villa.

2) Don’t jump for a ball, just back into an opponent who is jumping, undercut them, then act like none of that happened when the foul/penalty is given…and point to someone else to blame.

3) Shadow a winger, believing you can give him more space because you will outrun him, then struggle to keep up as you watch him cut you off or get the cross in.

You’ve been a great servant to the club and, at one time, you could arguably have been the best right back in the world. No more. That time has long since passed. The club were foolish to give you the extension they gave you, esp at the price paid, but a deal is a deal.

Sadly, it’s time for you to move on, and Sheffield Utd might need someone with your experience in the run in and next season in the Prem. Maybe McAtee will come with and get reacquainted with his new PL teammates?!

Good luck to you, but your time is up at City.

You forgot the one where instead of hitting in a first time cross he insists on rolling his foot over the ball and then putting in a wank pass anyways

Playing through injury and with the injuries to our current defenders cannot rotate.

He's ready for retirement

His legs are gone and he doesn't want to play football anymore

Worried he won't be able to sell him in the summer due ti his huge wages and how rubbish he now is
