2 | Kyle Walker - 2024/25

So why did he start?

Presumably because Lewis was knackered. But a knackered Lewis is better than a half-fit Walker.

Mistake from Pep today.

I would then question why Lewis started against Spurs in a game that Pep had almost said wasn’t important if it meant he would miss this one.

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

This is more than likely the case. Been signs for the past 12 months or so and I'm not just on about his pace. All the personal life shenanigans probably hasn't helped either. Been superb for us but nearing the end sadly.

He looked like he had been in a 4 day bender when they lined up at the start, he played like he had been on a 4 week bender

So why did he start?

If that’s true that is shocking

 

[Trickyblues]

Unfortunately his off-field antics have now caught up with him on the pitch.

 

[WallyA]

Okay, lets give those mistakes aside given the lack of training.

He is simply not gonna offer anything going forward.

The touch is awful and will be exploited for the press alot.

Yeah, a lot of people, probably most of them just read this without even putting it into perspective, but it is astonishingly shocking.
Fitness people say that after only two weeks of not training your overall fitness goes down 10%, but with age and injury it is even higher percentage. Incredible he is counting how many grams players put on after summer break and yet letting Kyle play after being out with injury for almost three weeks.

 

[M23 Citizen]

Clearly wasn’t ready for that game, but we can’t play Lewis every week.

Are you saying mentally or physically?

I only caught the last 15 minutes as I was watching the Liverpool match until 75 mins. It looked to me like Walker was hobbling a bit after he won the ball from Tavienier (I think it was him anyway)
