Kyle Walker - 2017/2018 Performances

[blue ranger]

He can lock down an entire flank on his own. From memory, the ONLY player to get the better of him this season is Bernard. Which to me says an awful lot about Bernard and I really want him at City!

Would be silly not to take Bernard on a free transfer. Cover for sane and Sterling.

Bloody hell, didn't realise he was out of contract in the summer. Definitely worth signing.

To add to that, it wasn't really just Bernard. He was constantly finding himself exposed by teammates and in 1v2 or even 1v3 situations against Shakhtar and the fact Bernard didn't completely destroy him says a lot about Walker's ability.

 

[TheThirdDeano]

They no longer talk about how high his price-tag was. The number one sign that's he's been fucking unreal this season.

Best signing in the summer in my opinion, very happy to have him here!

 

[Easy]

Can’t praise him enough.

Unreal how good he had been. Many don’t realize how many goals he stopped by himself. His pace has neutralized a lot of counter attacks.

He is entering the conversation for World’s best Right back.

 

[Withnail]

Kyle has been immense this season and to think some deluded rags think Valencia is a better rb.

 

[domalino]

He's played 32 games out of 36 for us this season. 1 was the Shakhtar game where everyone got rested and another was his red card suspension.


I think there's a very good chance he plays 50+ games for us this season and makes Pochettino's theory about him not being fit enough to play twice a week look as stupid as it sounded on the day he said it.

well he probably wasn't fit enough to do that at Spurs, because they tended to spend so long in the Europa League it wasn't worth playing twice a week.

 

[CityInWashingtonState]

Kyle is a huge defensive asset - his pace allows him to recover position and either by instruction or by instinct, Kyle seems to prefer holding back in a defensive position unless we're absolutely dominating (as opposed to say Mendy, who is extremely aggressive).

I really like Kyle in our side - he balances out very attack-minded players elsewhere.

 

[thyer64]

Seems exhausted, after that great ball too Sterling his legs seemed to have given up. Needs a rest badly imo

 

[BigOscar]

He's been right at it all season but that was really poor today. Clichy-esque brain fart for the goal, just completely asleep in a situation it should have been incredibly obvious that he needed to be alert

 

[meeesh]

Fell asleep.and sometimes pace isn't always a get out of jail card,poor today

 

[Andouble]

Thought he played the absolute perfect game until the goal, tbh.

What?

 

[cadds92]

He has been a bit off it for a few weeks now.

Personally I think he is paying the price of overplaying caused by us having very little at left back.

In the ideal scenario Danilo would have played far more at right back than he has done.

I have a feeling Walker is going to be one of the few castigated by many an England fan in the summer when in reality he he knackered and physically done for the season.

 

[Andouble]

What?

for me being his second game in four days, maybe I'm wrong but I don't remember any of their other chances coming down his end before the goal?

Put an assist on a platter for Sterling that makes the game done and dusted. All things considered I thought he played well aside from the crucial lapse.

 

[toffee balls]

for me being his second game in four days

Less than 3 days to be fair.

 

[Don Karleone]

I wouldn't say the perfect game but he did alright.

Not going to have a go at anyone today. It's one of them.

I was thinking about this in bed las night. Fairly certain Walker and/or Sterling are going to be abused up and down the country next season after another shambolic England performance.

 

[Dax777]

Eh? No. There was the error on the goal. He also was the one who kept Mee onside for the magical short Ederson had to save. He got beat in the air 2ice and Made 3 brainfart crossfield passes that went to Burnley. Miscontrolled a ball and gave a throw-in.



He was poor all game. Recoverd a few times on the power of his speed. But was poor for most of the game.

His cross to Sterling and a fantastic shot block on a breakaway being his 2 main positive actions.
