How much faster Traore is than Walker really surprised me. Traore went past Walker as if Walker were standing still.

Adama was doing that when Walker was 26. I'm not sure people understand how quick Adama is in a foot race - he was once clocked at similar speeds to Usain Bolt during his 100m world record sprint and (officially) the fastest player in the history of the PL.

I don't particularly think Walkers done - if you're 18 and have a bad patch then you're not going to make it, if you're 33 and have a bad patch then you should retire. Only players between about 22 and 30 are allowed to go through a poor run of form apparently.

He's had stop-start run so far due to early rest time in pre-season, then an international break, then another international break. He's not had chance to really get going this season as many of our players haven't and its resulted in us being a little disjointed.

But make no mistake about this, if we get to a CL semi final and we're playing Real Madrid against Vini and Mbappe then Kyle Walker will be 100% playing. He's still our best and most reliable RB.
 
I still don’t know how people don’t see that we need a new RB. Walker has done enough. It’s not ageism - he just isn’t that good anymore.

He is absolutely rapid to be fair but Walker’s pace has been on the wane for a while. He’s still obviously very quick but we’ve seen over the last 12 months a few times where his odd thing of giving players a head start by either arrogance or shite positioning has come back to bite or on the arse.

Traore may be quick but he can’t shoot for fun .
