OPINION
Manchester City were in majestic form against Watford on Saturday as they just looked a class above. The Hornets had opportunities early in the game to ruin Man City’s day but once Pep Guardiola’s side got up to full-speed, they were too much handle. However it’s interesting that Jenas has singled out Walker, as he didn’t have the best game for the club. If you had to be extremely harsh and pick a Man City player who could have been better, you probably would have pointed your finger at the 28-year-old defender. Walker at times looked sloppy in possession and you feel if Watford had challenged him more during the game than the defender would have made a mistake. The 28-year-old regularly featured for Guardiola’s team in his 2018/19 campaign, he made 52 appearances, but given some of his disappointing displays; that might not be the case next season. It’s not hard to imagine Man City signing a new right-back to replace him after all.
