Interesting listening to him on R5 now. Very thoughtful about the game.

Well, thanks H, but for those of us who weren't listening and aren't mind readers, a precis would be nice.

I was more encouraging people to take a listen.
OK, the levels at Citeh are such that you can't blow smoke up any one player's arse. It's a team game. Everyone has to keep at it at all times. The difference in level compared with clubs he and others have been in previously is palpable.
Not crowing about how great Citeh are, but simply noting the level of requirement.
Sounds like a very special player, wanting to operate at the highest possible level and confident that the manager knows how to get there.
(I have read elsewhere that he needs thorough organization and precision planning and is lost if he stumbles into a day without structure. The ultimate soldier. The complete opposite of Robin Friday).

That was part of my interest in hearing him. His transgressions, I suspect, were unavoidable given his mental make up. Well, predictable, then, at least.

"England team-mate John Stones has been favoured in recent weeks in an inverted full-back role where he pushes into central midfield alongside Rodri.
"He (Walker) cannot do it. To play inside you have to make some educated movements," said Guardiola.
"He has other characteristics. He will always have pace. He will be the fastest in this room at 60 years old."

At 32 I assume this is Pep putting him up for sale.
It's a bit De Zerbi-ish, isn't it? He's a very good player and I have every faith in him and totally respect his ability - but I've just dropped him from the first team because he doesn't fit with my style of football ...........................
