You've only just reminded me of that goal to be honest.
Walker makes mistakes. He's more of an athlete than a footballer. He is sometimes out of position at the wrong times and can mess up the defensive line. His crossing and decision making needs to improve big time. And without fail, as surely as night follows day, he will give away a freekick in a stupid position every game that almost leads to a goal.
And despite all this, I like him and think he's good for the team. His pace allows him to get out of the situations he puts himself in more often than not (as well as situations that the other defenders put us in) , his pace and running must always make the other team's left side work hard and I think since that Liverpool game, he's improved both defensively and in an attacking sense.
We're probably not going to improve on his technique by now but he should be in after every training practising crossing, I think we can improve his decision making (part of the reason so many of his crosses hit the 1st man is that he often takes an extra touch or second to push the ball forward) and I think and hope we can make him more positionally reliable.
There are better rbs than him in the league for sure but I think he's nowhere near as bad as some on here are making him out to be and I also think he's improving.
