What our opponents' fans are saying about us 17/18

Just a bit of a sidetrack but interesting nonetheless, City fans on Walker. I thought he was regarded a bit better over there to be honest:

He’s been getting away with stuff for a few months, he was punished tonight just like he did against Wigan. He’s still been great, but needs to sharpen up.

Think he has been a weak link all season. Really dont understand how so many people rate him so highly. Is prone to so many brain farts. Has at least one obvious one per match. Doesn't offer much in an attacking sense. Doesn't add to our build up in any noticeable way. He's outstanding physically but aside from that, I am struggling to see it.

I'm aware this sounds harsh but if we want to be the best in Europe, he needs to be a lot better. Will reserve total judgement til Mendy comes back.

At Tottenham he was much more attacking RB than here. Here he has 1-2 really speedy runs into the box every 5 games. At Spurs he had per game.
Even Zabaleta was more of a threat to arrive in/around the box and he had hardly any pace.
Has to be limited tactically by Pep for some reason.

I think his entire purpose is to stop counter-attacks with his pace, which is why he doesn’t bomb on so much. He’s just there as a fail-safe should they break on us. And it works for the most part. Against sustained attacks though... well that’s different!

Totally agree.​

I said on the matchday thread that if he wasn't quick he'd be a Championship player at best and I stand by that. Complete lack of a football brain.​

Should have cleared the first goal but also wasted the ball on so many occasions in the second half. He really can't cross to save his life!

Just clear the ball lad,2 chances to do so,as they said when we were younger if in doubt kick it out,poor from him last night,and has anyone noticed he's becoming a bit of a McManaman in the pointing game ?


Last night highlighted his deficiencies in big games. Fast runner but not a top defender

The one thing we didnt want to do tonight was gift the Dippers an early goal , but Walker did just that , really cannot understand why our players save their biggest cock ups for Klanfield , Stones and Ederson in the 3-4 and Walker tonight , he was also left exposed with no right winger in our team , but still the best right back in europe in my view.

Wigan away, Burnley away, Liverpool away. Not been good enough defensively in recent months and it's turned into a malaise rather than an off-game. Needs to concentrate and think about what he's doing. Another incomprehensible mistake if you're paying attention, concentrating and reading the game.

Needs genuine competition.

An incredible athlete, but prone to massive brain farts. I genuinely can’t remember the last time he put in a decent cross either.

That's a bit of a daft question when the average wage is around £27k p/a.

These guys would have already been earning easily enough to sort them out for the rest of their lives, so the jump from £60k p/w to £120k p/w wouldn't be that "life changing".

Didn’t Pep compare him to Lahm the other day? Perhaps deliberately exaggerating his ability to big him up but still, high praise. He’s obviously more than happy with him.

To be honest, they sound like spoilt and moronic. Walker is not without faults, like most players, but he’s a class full back and the best in the league.

Seemingly not good enough for them lot though! Who do they think they are? A super rich Arabs plaything is what they are and nothing more. Divs

He is the best in the league but that says more about the general standard of right (wing) backs which is currently poor.

What a surprise...a rating from @mattyspurs without a comment. Scouse fuck is probably still in hiding after kicking the shit out of Man City's team bus.

I'm pretty sure I never said Walker's was technically the worst player Ive ever seen at Spurs, can you find where I said that.
