Manchester City secured a valuable 1-0 win over top-four rivals Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley on Monday, but many fans have taken to Twitter to savage the display of right-back Kyle Walker.

An early tap-in for Riyad Mahrez was enough to settle the match, with Tottenham blowing several good chances to equalise on a horrifically damaged pitch at the national stadium.

Walker was playing against his former club where he spent seven years of his career but the right-sided flyer put in a poor display, with many City fans criticising him after the match.

COMMENTARY

These Manchester City fans seem wholly unimpressed by Walker’s performance against Tottenham on Monday, and so they should be. The speedy right-back was so far from the top of his game it was almost painful to watch, with Walker struggling to make any sort of impact on the clash. His trademark bursting runs down the wing were nowhere to be seen, and the few occasions when they did happen, the right-back totally fluffed his lines. His defensive performance left a lot to be desired as well, with Tottenham having a lot of joy down his flank through the tricky Lucas Moura, who gave Walker a run for his money all night. City fans will be hoping this is a one-off display from Walker, who has been mightily impressive on the whole since his £50million move from Spurs in 2017. The 28-year-old was a key cog in their title-winning side last season, and will no doubt be important for Pep Guardiola across the whole of this term as well.
