Kyle Walker : 2018/19 performances

[Manchester_lalala]

Not good, again.

I don't think he had a particularly good game today, but I do fear in general with Walker that people discount all the excellent things he does for us because of a few moments. A bit like we used to with Otamendi.

 

[RandomJ]

It could just be a case of him needing a rest. He is having to play a lot of games because Danilo is a sick note and we don't have anyone else who can fill in effectively. He has been poor for a while but I've noticed he isn't even using his pace to get him out of trouble which suggests he's knackered.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Poor.

 

[kaz7]

Anyone think he might be carrying an injury,pace doesn't fall off a cliff

 

[decmancity]

Need Danilo back asap, Kyle needs a rest and soon.

 

[Blue Llama]

I don't doubt his ability its his concentration level that lets him down.

Yeah, considering how quick the world was to wheel out this excuse for Harry Kane's form I think it's fair that Walker is given the same benefit of the doubt. At least until he's had a rest and can put this run to bed.

He has played a lot of games but I would argue that other than Ederson he has the easiest job in the side. We have him playing as an ultra-defensive full back, in a team that has 70% possession every week and doesn’t concede many chances. He is not being asked to bomb up and down the wing, he isn’t being played out of position and he is being allowed to play with absolute negativity, by standing on the CBs toes and playing 2 yard passes. He should be absolutely killing it but instead, he’s getting gradually worse.

 

[Scottyboi]

I think he is shite going forward honestly, his touch has been awful recently leading to rushed passes. He has played alot of games though and is an absolute athelete, played all world cup he is probably knackered. Wish our full backs were more attacking takes the burden off our wingers.

 

[Deleted member 81382]

He has pace and that's about it.

 

[domalino]

Just needs a rest.

 

[super_city_si]

Wonder if he’s menatlly tired? Making lots of mistakes but he can’t have a rest cos we have no backup. Would benefit from a little break.

 

[wattle]

He has pace and that's about it.

That’s exactly what I think he’s lacking atm. Don’t know if he’s injured but he looks half the pace. Without that, he’s not all that

 

[Easy]

Should have rested this game.

Clearly tired mentally this season.

To go from Spurs no pressure to win anything to having to be at it every game winning trophies, getting to a WC semi final plus an insane amount of games.

A lot to take in. We need Danilo back ASAP

 

[Delphinho]

Very poor the last couple of months. When’s Danilo back? Would be tempted to play Garcia as RB on saturday

 

[tony adcock]

Got to say not been overly impressed with any of our full back performers this season....

Don’t know if it’s a tactical issue or personnel not as good as I thought.... but they don’t look as solid defensively as last season and in general not adding too much offensively ( Mendy apart - but then that tends to negate Sane so overall I don’t see it as a positive).


Still think there is a lot of room for improvement in both full back areas

 

[George Hannah]

He has pace and that's about it.

It wasn't very evident against Gray tonight or on Saturday for that matter. I think he's not completely confident about his fitness currently tbh.

 

[City_Sean]

He looks absolutely knackered and has been badly overplayed.

 

[Metalartin]

Our fullbacks situation has room for improvement in general which is a good sign considering how well we are performing in spite of that, our first choice will be good when in form and up to speed though in my opinion. Walker has been making more mistakes this season but as has been said, that might be due to fatigue(mental as well as physical since he came back early).

Mendy still hasn't been allowed to settle into the system to point where it's second nature to him because of injuries. Long term, I think we might buy a proper LB to push Mendy for a starting place.

Danilo, when he's fit, can do that for Walker and give him a much needed rest. In fact towards the end of last season, Danilo for me was starting to look like a very smart buy when he got a run of form going.
