Looks like he can beat players to me



In all honesty, doesn't matter of a RB or RWB can sprint past his opponent unless it translates into something. Video and stats can show any picture you want. For example:
Kyle Walker 203 total games, 20 assists, 5 goals
Kieran Trippier 61 total games, 11 assists, 1 goal

By 100 games, Trippier could have more assists that Kyle Walker after 203 games. Quality of delivery is important. If it wasn't Aaron Lennon would still have been at White Hart lane.

I didn't post a video to show his assists or lack of end product , and frankly I don't care about the Trippier Walker argument. It's redundant.
it was to disapprove the ludicrous hyperbole notion that kyle Walker can't beat his man.

And he quite clearly can

But you could probably make a youtube out of a handful of times Trippier has beaten his man, doesn't mean it's typical or representative of the hundreds of times he doesn't beat his man. I know he's done it on very rare occasions, but rarely does he dribble past the last man and then produce something. That's the more relevant issue.

Then you should say kyle Walker has the ability to beat a player with dribbling and pace but then it rarely ends up in something productive or key
That's closer to the truth

No, closer to truth is, he rarely beat a man by dribbling at him, especially in "last man" type situations where it might lead to a productive situation.

I missed the last few minutes when Georgiou came on - did he get a touch? Any chance to run at the defender? How did he do?

I think when beating a man, people expect an end product from it. What made Kyle Walker sellable at the right price was the fact he could beat his man but his decision making and crossing ability ultimately let him down.
