Hanshithispantz Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 It was actually painful watching Walker like I cannot remember seeing him get turned inside out like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Played brilliantly today ran them ragged and his passing was tip notch for 70% of the game. Because of the fatigue he started making poorer passes but it's to be expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1964 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Man city thought they were good enough not to double up on him, like most teams do. They weren't and he was magnificent, but he usually has 2 men on him whenever he gets the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 He was unbelievable today, so good and did it against the best team in the league. A lot of the criticism aimed at him was quite frankly embarrassing, people talking about getting rid and such nonsense I'm glad Howe is the manager right now because you know getting rid was not on his mind, rather he's worked on how to help ASM to get even more out of him I bloody love him and hope he's here for a long time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 what a fantastic shift he put in today, fucking excellent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I bet Howe bins him next summer if he doesn't maintain his efforts consistently. Which is what he should do. Hopefully, he carries on his newly discovered mega professional approach and has a boss season for us. No guarantees on that, but early signs are promising.

NE27 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Really don't get why that first bit is necessary today of all days. Just feels pointlessly negative for negativities sake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Is it just a case of ASM putting on a masterclass or are we witnessing the decline of Walker as well? He’s always had pace but surely his legs must be getting close to going now. Other teams will watch that match with interest knowing they can get at city down the left-hand side but none have as destructive a dribbler as ASM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Incredible today, showed the league just what sort of player he really is. to do this against City and against a player like Kyle Walker is really something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I remember Thomas for West Brom causing Walker all sorts of problems when he was at Spurs but I think a fair few wingers got the better of him at that period of his career. As a full back he’s matured and improved ten fold, but Maxi today took him right back to when he was a young pacey full back learning his position. On the counter we looked sharp and dangerous, well done Maxi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people go around expecting the worst thing possible to happen at every turn? Wouldn't be me it would be knackering. Just felt today of all days, maxi deserves praise for being his absolute best. If by the end of the season this game was the exception and not the rule, the scenario you mentioned could be the reality. But for now, I'm just trying to enjoy the crest of the wave of optimism.

Walker is 32 now, so he won't be as quick as he was 3-4 seasons ago. That shouldn't discredit ASM's performance today at all though. Walker is still a special phyiscal specimen.

TRon Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 21 minutes ago, Hanshithispantz said: His workrate has been great since the end of last season, Howe really seems to have clicked with him. The Brighton game thankfully seems like a one off in terms of his end product. I must admit I thought he was beyond listening to anyone, but fair play, he really does seem to have bought in to Howe's methods. Very excited for the future now. He'll have stinkers, all players of that type do, but hopefully his good performances will outweigh them. Other teams watching that will be having nightmares.

Today he had Maxi to stop him moving down the flank and Joelinton cutting off his passing lines on that left side of the midfield 3. Really well played by them and Howe. Cancelo suffered similarly in possession, not so much in terms of being skinned repeatedly but we nullified their full backs brilliantly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
