Kyle Walker : 2018/19 performances

[jimharri]

Have we sent the Blazing squad around to his "two up, two down" to give him a slap yet, or what?

He’s never been an excellent player. He’s an excellent athlete who’s used his athleticism well in his career but his concentration levels have been appalling of late so it’s highlighting his poor attributes of football quality and his athleticism isn’t getting him out of the shit.

I said the same thing about him when he was at Spurs. His positional sense and reading of the game are poor for a top level FB. He's always relied on his pace to get him out of trouble in the past. He needs to be more aware of danger on the pitch.

Sorry, it wasn’t Levy, it was Pochettino

That sounds very different to the way you put it.

What I actually said is that the hierarchy at Spurs thought he was past his best which is pretty much exactly what Pochettino said, according to the article. I didn’t embellish or interpret the words in any way.

It depends on interpretation of 'seen his best' I guess. And fwiw he's hardly going to say any different as Spurs manager, he's obliged to spin it as good for them.

Some pretty blatant and shameless revisionism going on in this thread. Walker completely revolutionised our play last season and has deservedly been named the best right-back in the Premier League three times during his career, twice in the last two seasons. He's not playing very well at the moment but this hasn't been an ongoing problem with him - some of the criticism of him in this thread is bordering on nonsense. "He was never an excellent player, just an excellent athlete" is complete tosh. Danilo deserves a run now, yes, if only to give Walker the rest he so clearly needs and give him a kick up the arse, but to re-evaluate Walker's entire career after his only dodgy spell in a blue shirt is unbelievable.

Have to give Danilo a game, and give KW a break

Desperately needs some rest and recharge those duracell batteries. We need the Kyle Walker of last season ASAP.

He could recharge his Duracell batteries if Danilo was Ever Ready.

Well, despite obviously underpar performances as of late, I still rate him. Even if I am the only one left.

The lad clocked up plenty of brownie points last year. Yes, he’s seriously out of form and needs a break. However, one or two in our midst seem to be enjoying sticking the boot in.
