Manchester City fans have turned on one player on social media after a difficult first half against Liverpool.
Liverpool went into their encounter with City, hoping to go 11 points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men. Indeed, Arne Slot had started life as Reds boss with 17 wins from 19 games.
Meanwhile, City have been in dismal form. They started the game in fourth, having lost five in a row before squandering a 3-0 lead to draw with Feyenoord in the Champions League earlier this week.
City’s woes have been blamed on several things – Erling Haaland’s form has been more erratic in front of goal while Ballon d’Or winning midfielder Rodri has been injured for much of the campaign.
However, City fans have also claimed the Kyle Walker powers are finally waning.
After going into half time 1-0 down against Liverpool, several City fans were critical of the 34-year-old England international on X.
One person said: “Kyle Walker’s awareness of what is around him gets worse, and worse, and worse with every passing week.”
Another added: “Kyle Walker is literally a pain to watch…how does he continuously start game and why is he still the captain…come on man sell this guy.”
A third said: “Kyle Walker once again, losing Gakpo at the back post. Beggars belief how he’s not been dropped.”
A fourth wrote: “The brains of people who still rate Kyle Walker need to be studied in labs like chimps.”
A fifth said: “Kyle Walker got to be one of the worst players in the Premier League. Absolutely abysmal.”
