2 | Kyle Walker - 2024/25

Again not much choice for this season. It seems Pep still trusts him (to some degree) to start in the bigger games.
Akanji played there in the treble season, with Dias back he should try it again, can't do any worse than Walker or Lewis.
 
Dias was the one giving the pre-match team talk in the huddle. We need to get away from handing the armband around to “senior leadership players” & appoint Dias as captain!

Only as cover and not as first choice. Akanji is better off sticking as a Centre Half (although his Feyernoord performance wasn't too clever)

How about giving Gvardiol a chance in his natural position with Dias, and Akanji and Ake at FB and see how it goes.
 
Genuinely thought he was the source of pretty much everything bad today. At the start of the second half we came out and looked like we had some modicum of controlled build-up and we might get a foothold. Ball goes to Walker and he immediately tries some 1 in 100 cross-field ball which was obviously never coming off. Then we get it back and start building up again, only for Walker to be caught offside while looking right down the line.

The first goal he has no idea who's around him. The penalty, Dias makes a mistake but far from a terminal error - 90% of the time we get away with that, but then Walker compounds it by trying to skip round a player instead of just fucking dealing with it. Every corner he tried and embarrassingly failed to keep track of Van Dijk. He's constantly playing passes that give Lewis and Foden work to do, which is making them look shitter. He's out of position on almost every opposition attack. Going forward, he offers less than nothing because he just gets behind only to blast it at a defender or pass it back and recycle it.

Honestly, abysmal isn't the word. Playing him at the moment is an act of active self-harm to the team, he is quite literally tanking the confidence of everybody around him.
