Deserves credit for his previous work at the club but he is fucking terrible now. He is costing us goals every single game that he plays.
We essentially start 1-0 down when he is playing as he will gift the opposition a goal.
People have been saying for 2-3 seasons that he was done, and I think he proved them wrong plenty of times. Especially the treble season.
He should have been booted out of the club when he got his cock out in that pub last year. Instead, we simply ignored a case of indecent exposure and ignored his behaviour more generally.You can forgive it when they offer leadership off the ball. Vinny and Fernandinho were captain when they were past their physical best but offered so much in setting a professional example, being a figurehead and leader for the club and being a role model for younger players and fans.
Walker offers absolutely fuck all on or off the pitch in this regard.

Apart from the embarrassment caused to the club, what sort of message does that send out in terms of professionalism, standards and setting an example as a senior player? Why on earth is he being allowed to be captain of the club? The players should never have been able to put him in that position - a decision should have been imposed on them by the management, who get paid vast sums of money to make these sort of decisions.
All we’re seeing now in his performances is the inevitable conclusion of that sort of behaviour and I’m afraid that as a club, we’ve allowed our standards to slip and we’re paying the price for it now.
The first time we had 4 CB available, that's what Pep played. Walker is playing because bith Ake and stones are injured 90% of the time. Today there was no other option. If you think Pep wants to play Wlaker...Rinse and repeat:
I can't blame him anymore. It's solely on Pep for continuing to start him.
Strip him of the fucking captaincy at least.The first time we had 4 CB available, that's what Pep played. Walker is playing because bith Ake and stones are injured 90% of the time. Today there was no other option. If you think Pep wants to play Wlaker...
Good lord
The baffling thing is that Walker has not played well for 18 months but is still in the team. He is targeted by our opponents every single week, especially on aerial balls. He has been brilliant for City over the years but the drop-off has been shocking.The first time we had 4 CB available, that's what Pep played.
