2 | Kyle Walker - 2024/25

[Gorbachev]

Worst City player by far in the last 3 years.
Pep Guardiola biggest mistake ever, that night in the restourant

Should have gone with Gundogan after the treble and left as legends.

Just like De Bruyne should have this summer.

 

[MCFC ISRAEL]

One of the greatest right backs in history and I'm not exaggerating. One of the best purchases made by this wonderful club. But time is catching up to him. lets be honest, his strengths, his amazing pace, this is what his game was based on. He is not a football genius, a technical smart player or scores/asists a lot of goals.

For a player like Walker who was a super athlete, with physical superiority and pace against any opponent,for him losing this physical superiority means game over.

He very clearly wasn't fit today. Lambasting him for playing despite not being fit and looking like that isn't fair.

 

[Tevez City]

Big summer coming up

Only slack for him today was we dont know how fit he was but he was woeful again. Should not be a starter and should not be captain

So why did he start?

I respect the hell out of @OrigamiNinja[/B] 's takes, but we couldn't differ more on our takes of Lewis. We've seen him get the best of multiple top PL wingers thus far.

I maintain the goals we've conceded that our on him, have come down to the fact that Pep has him more or less playing as an attacking midfielder in possession, and for every counter-attacker we suffer, he has to run further and harder than EVERYONE on the pitch. Who could maintain that effort in one game? Let alone all season.

You’re on your own there. :-)

The reasons for your defence of him, is exactly why I don’t see him as a long-term successor to Walker. We need a top quality RB, not a guy masquerading as one. I want the Gvardiol equivalent over there, so we can maintain our levels. Rico is a good youngster but we operate at a different level to that.

I’d have guessed at more than 19 days after that performance.

Time isn’t catching up with him, it’s already caught him

Fair enough, but Gvardiol has quite a few moments where he's suspect defensively, such as today, but the positives with him continue to outweigh the negatives, as in my eyes, they do for Lewis.
