Every single time Diaz got on the through ball, it’s was because Walker was fast asleep.
At one point, Walker was 15 yards from the touchline and 30 yds from goal, with Diaz was 10 yards inside him and 10 yds ahead of him. Walker was literally standing in the middle of nowhere, with no-one within 10 yds of him…and that was his “defensive” position!!!
And, don’t get me started on his lack of touch when it matters!!! Over-hit through balls, leathered crosses when he needed a little finesse and couldn’t find a man to save his life!
He is living on his wits and his WANING speed, which is overexposing his defensive frailties and absolutely dire headwork.
Infuriatingly, every now and then he gives us some attacking impetus and creates something, but at his age and all the shit going on in his life, and his poor attempts at stopping a decent player from crossing the ball, we really need to start thinking HARD about his replacement.
