Against Reading was the FIRST time i've seen him take it past a player without losing the ball. His technique is poor to average at best and this is running from full back. Playing on the wing he would be marked alot tighter and have to start get past players from a standing start which he hasn't got the ability to do in my opinion.
For me no way Walker should be considered to move further up the pitch, and I agree with this post. Even for the goal at the weekend I would put it more down to piss poor defending from the two Reading players rather than Walker doing anything outstanding. If he has space or has to run on to the ball then hes fine, as you say from standing starts he almost always never takes on the man, does some stepovers and wastes 5-10 seconds before deciding to pass it back where it came from. I am surprised more people do not see this in all honesty.
