2 | Kyle Walker - 2024/25

[M23 Citizen]

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)

At one point in the second half, all four of our defenders were limping… and not Saka “limping”.

 

[St.Pauli support]

I for my part am grateful he played without any training in an alarming situation when our defence is half dead on their feet.
Most seem to think Rico is Mr Universe who also should start the next 2 tough away games, and Bournemouth are NOT an energetic physical team.
Walker has played the minutes without being match fit when we had zero alternatives. None.

No idea how we can recover til Tuesday. 4 days recovery til Brighton might help a bit, then have an Intl break without much intensity for most of our tired lads.

 

[Richie Rich]

He definitely shouldn't have played. Lewis should have been in the starting 11.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Walker has been world class but now he's a has-been. Move him on next summer or January if we get an adequate replacement.

 

[Richie Rich]

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.

Yes. They knew Walker would get very little, if any, training before today but still decided to let Lewis play 90 minutes against Spurs. And that was a game they apparently couldn't care less about.

Yep. And also played Foden, Stones, Savinho and Dias who are are key players when we are so short. Madness. Surely the EDS game the night before wasn’t that important !

Not saying he's part of the future, but please remember this guy has played a huge part in our success over the years.

He's cooked, unfortunately. Been a great player for us for a long time, but he's past his best ... and combined with the off the field stuff, it feels like it's time
