Kyle Walker - 2017/2018 Performances

[Manchester_lalala]

He’s been getting away with stuff for a few months, he was punished tonight just like he did against Wigan. He’s still been great, but needs to sharpen up.

Think he has been a weak link all season. Really dont understand how so many people rate him so highly. Is prone to so many brain farts. Has at least one obvious one per match. Doesn't offer much in an attacking sense. Doesn't add to our build up in any noticeable way. He's outstanding physically but aside from that, I am struggling to see it.

I'm aware this sounds harsh but if we want to be the best in Europe, he needs to be a lot better. Will reserve total judgement til Mendy comes back.

At Tottenham he was much more attacking RB than here. Here he has 1-2 really speedy runs into the box every 5 games. At Spurs he had per game.
Even Zabaleta was more of a threat to arrive in/around the box and he had hardly any pace.

Has to be limited tactically by Pep for some reason.

I think his entire purpose is to stop counter-attacks with his pace, which is why he doesn’t bomb on so much. He’s just there as a fail-safe should they break on us. And it works for the most part. Against sustained attacks though... well that’s different!

Totally agree.

I said on the matchday thread that if he wasn't quick he'd be a Championship player at best and I stand by that. Complete lack of a football brain.

Should have cleared the first goal but also wasted the ball on so many occasions in the second half. He really can't cross to save his life!

 

[dadnlad]

not just me then

 

[meeesh]

Just clear the ball lad,2 chances to do so,as they said when we were younger if in doubt kick it out,poor from him last night,and has anyone noticed he's becoming a bit of a McManaman in the pointing game ?

 

[TravisBickle]

He’s no Zab that’s for sure.
Great athlete, poor footballer.

 

[Benarbia]

Last night highlighted his deficiencies in big games. Fast runner but not a top defender
