When Mendy comes back Danilo should be our first choice RB. Walker can have FA Cup games.
 
Yep. Should be him on one side and whoever is fit and in form on the other. At the moment that's not walker.

I'm really warming to Danilo.
 
If both can stay fit, I'm hoping Pep will go with Danilo and Mendy as our first choice fullbacks for the rest of the season.
 
Need Mendy back so he can puft a rocket up Walker and take his RB slot. Walker is making so many errors and needs challenging so he steps his game up.
 
Dont think putting pressure on walker will stop him making mistakes last season he was proned to 1 a game but all players make mistakes in games.

I agree, putting pressure on him won't fix anything - I'm not sure why some people think Walker is just being lazy or is too comfortable.

He's played 95 games since he joined us. To put that in perspective, Ederson has only played 77.

95 games!

And 77 of Walker's 95 were the full 90 minutes. In a season and a half. With rest after the world cup because Danilo was injured.

The man isn't being lazy or complacent, he's not lost a yard of pace and hasn't adapted, he's just bloody knackered. He needs to be put on a plane to Dubai as soon as Mendy is fit, and he should just stay there for a week or 10 days with no football whatsoever.

Blimey. Presume England games are a big chunk of that too?

Yeah, 19 games, 1564 mins.

He's the only player we have who plays 90mins every game for club and country.

Sterling has played a lot of games in that period as well (89) and the second most minutes behind Walker, but he only played 90mins in 50 of them, as opposed to 77 by Walker.

He's been run into the ground and now people are getting on his back for making some mistakes or being late to tackles when he's probably working harder than anyone else in the squad just to keep going.
 
I really like Danilo; he always makes me feels safe and confident, whichever side he is playing on, always works hard, he seems to never cause any problems, on nor off the field, being very professional... and he actually always looks like he wants to play, I mean really play, to make something happen. He seems passionate about he game. Good lad, and I think we are very lucky to gave him.

Think thats a very fair summing up of the player,esp his determination to make something happen.A good ,talented classy versatile ,professional to have in the squad.
Trying to think of other City full backs who have slotted in seamlessly at both right and left back posistions ..?
 
The way peoples' opinions of him have changed since Christmas has been pretty funny to watch after months of defending him.

I read that Kyle has a longstanding abdominal issue which is causing him a problem again. It would certainly explain his decline. If true Danilo is going to be first choice for a while.

Wasn't he hospitalized for that back at Tothenham?
 
One of the few players that always seems to want to put his foot in when things get a tad hot. Unlike the others, however, (Fernandinho/Delph/Walker), he seems sufficiently adroit to go in and pick up the ball rather go in and pick up a booking.

Strikes me as a proper 'athlete' - in the James Milner (spit) mould; I imagine he eats right, doesn't drink, trains well and keeps himself ready during the off-season.
