how good is Kyle Walker?

the best?

mmm intresting, checking on my targets nick

well there arent videos of him, may be one, not clear one.

Read like 50 views about him in all over the net, people comparing him to Robertocarlos but right footed. Saying he is the second fastest player in EPL after Walcot thus he can recover quickly, his positioing is not perfectly solid yet, he is a solid RB (178cm though looks a bit taller), strong build, Good areal skills and good in defence, though not completely finished product in defence. he has great dribbling and ok crossing. thats all.

In simple words, if he improves and polishes his skills, he can be one a great modern yet complete RB.

anyway i am gonno watch his match today against chelsea. i think it will provide good challange and see what he really capable of.

So instead of properly watching him, you go around the net, reading fans comments, and then you hype him like the second coming of cafu? you deceived me

Those type of fullback who need momentum to go on a burst of speed, just like Richards and Kelly. Doesn't have the natural guile and technique and ability to beat a man with anything other than pace that Cole and Johnson have.

Greatest of all time.

lol i know, i tried to watch him for the last 3 weeks, i keep missing those games.

walker has deceived me lol, he has the long run pace, but doesn't have the guile like contrao and burst of speed, he need a long run to be top speed, his technique is also not that good and his positioning is suspicious.

he is a good player though, but not realmadrid material.

damn, the world are really short of fullbacks. were have all the great fullbacks dissapeard.

Don't get the hype, honestly. Every time I see him he seems like so many other young English fullbacks... quick, likes to get forward, but lacking a bit of technique and intelligence. He looks good now but as he matures and the mistakes don't disappear things will change.

For reference, I don't think Kelly is a great prospect as a fullback either... I actually see him as a ball-playing CB being played out of position.

Both are rated highly due to their ability to get forward and back to cover with pace, and both play in teams that play to those strengths. Kelly has an added advantage of being naturally a bit more defensive minded, but he lacks some of the on-the-ball skills to be a truly top class fullback (such limitations wouldn't be a problem at CB) IMO.

Killing Mata atm.

killing mata?mata is barely getting the ball to do something in that left flank

who do we have other young fullbacks (u23) to challange kyle walker at right back.

Richards YOUMAD?

richards isnt fast enough. and besides robery ate him alive means he wont do well against ineasta.

.....lol Richards shouldn't even be compared to Walker who just got ripped by Cole.

He's a very good right back, who will continue to get better. I don't think he's the sort of player who will be one of the best in the world at what he does, but he's a good player nevertheless. You see many full backs nowadays who can't actually defend, but Walker certainly can. He's also decent at getting forward as well, and maintains a decent balance between the two.

i still think he is the best young RB that can defend and attack. All he has to do is little improvements in all the areas, and move to better club, like madrid, mou will perfect him like marcelo.

if anyone have any other player that have more potential, post the name.

You summed it up.

he is an extremely poor mans marcelo. Even more crap in defending, no skill, no brains, Extremely fast and is physical which helps him win duels at times

kind of hard imagining a player being worse than marcelo defensively

He's a good talent, but as others have highlighted he's lacking in the intelligence department. Almost exactly like Micah Richards, only Richards is a beast of a defender when he gets his positioning right.

He's like a lot of young defenders, really. He'll improve with more experience. I wouldn't say he'll become an amazing talent, or even a Real Madrid calbire talent (really can't see him playing for Madrid), just a good player. The lack of talent at right back in England makes him look better than he is.

well i got an idea about him lol. at least. if you dont like him, find me a better RB prospect then him.

and there is no way he worse then marcelo in defence. yes marcelo has good defensive moments, but his positioning, My GOD.

What a free kick, astounding. Didn't know he had it in him.
