My view is that Walker is now a fantastic RB and the best in the league, bar none. Going back 2 to 3 years we could have probably mentioned goals that he had cost us because of giving away stupid fouls or defensive mistakes he had made. Makes me laugh when fans still talk about him being a defensive liability when they haven't even paid attention to him recently and re-assessed that part of his game. I believe he is still a much better defender than Trippier, but where Walker let's himself down is his checking back and turning down opportunities to cross. I don't even believe he is a bad crosser of the ball. It's more his decision making and his over-playing in the final third that frustrates me. That's because if you want to own the whole of the right hand side of the pitch and overpower your opposing number, you have to have the finesse to turn that into goals.
Said this many times, but hope he stays.
