One of his assists last season was a 5 yard pass to Sane before his 25 yard curler against Liverpool. Another for Aguero’s solo goal away at Watford where he overhit the ball trying a bit of skill and it luckily went to Aguero. I’m not sure what the others were, but there was probably only one or two that actually came about from good attacking play by Walker.

Ditto about many other player’s assists. It was a stat in replying to the assertion that Walker has never provided any sort of attacking benefit.
 
How can I put this without being too harsh? He is absolute dog shit. He couldn’t be any more negative if he tried. Pep was getting increasingly pissed off with him in the 2nd half, with his constant 3 yard passes back to Kompany. Danilo must be watching and wondering what the frig he has to do, to get a sustained run in the side.

Well he's obviously not dog shit. The reason they had no shots is because he made two brilliant recovery challenges on fraser. But as always it's open season on walker. Maybe ask why Walker got so much of the ball and why Kevin wasn't coming for it. He's a defender first and foremost and some of our fans don't deserve him

I mean dog shit. Really.... beggars belief

He's certainly not dog shit but to me he seemed scared of the ball, a really strange performance.

Funny how he is always the one having to make the recovery tackle. He falls asleep and needs his pace to get him out of trouble. He is currently the most pointless player in our side. Spends 90 mins standing on the centre backs toes and playing nothing passes. He’s gone from one of the highest rated right backs in Europe, to a traffic cone in the space of 12 months.

Overly harsh but I get your point. Several times today he had space to run in and whip in a cross but he stopped and passed it backwards. Completely kills the momentum of the attack and lets the opposition get bodies back in defence.
 
Had a solid game today until he lost his head a bit towards the end. Still think Danilo's been the better of the two since Christmas and deserves a run as first choice, but that was a complete shut-out away from home today and Walker was a big part of it.
 
Don’t think he has been too bad in recent games including today. I much prefer Danilo to play instead of Kyle, particularly after his great performance in midweek. Will be interesting to see if Pep does anything re selection of Kyle after that little confrontation with the Bournemouth player directly in front of him. Pep didn’t seem pleased

They couldn't even break out of their own half after they went behind. We've faced parked buses many times this decade but I don't think we've ever gotten through an entire game without the opposition registering a single attempt at goal. Throw in the fact that we were away from home and had to make a change at CB and it starts to look like an incredibly assured defensive performance. Walker isn't perfect but he was one of five or six defensive players today whose job was to keep Bournemouth out and he did just that.
 
he had seen to much of the ball for my liking today. At times was organizing our attacks and that's not good sight.
 
I don’t know if Opta keep stats for how many times a full back plays the ball straight back to a centre half, but if they do I have a feeling Walker absolutely smashed that record today.

Harsh, but I do know where you’re coming from. Over the past few months, I’ve become tired from his lack of attacking ability. Danilo is twice the footballer Walker is. Against a park bus like that today, Danilo should have played as he’s at least a threat when going forward. I’m aware that Pep probably doesn’t mind he’s not effective going forward, as he does cover quite a bit at the back. I do think we’d be a far better team with a more all rounded right back.
 
Anyone else get that, oh, this really isn’t such a good idea feeling, when he decides to line up one of those long cross-field passes?
