"Kyle Walker - he's one of our own."

[The Bohemian]

Looked a shadow of the player we know and love, last night, clearly uncomfortable playing against his beloved Blades. No driving runs, no aggression and just seemed to want to get rid of the ball as quickly as possible - usually by passing backwards. As the Blades' fans sang, "Kyle Walker - he's one of our own!"

Aren't Spurs fans overly critical of him though, as Murphy couldn't get past him nor get his crosses in? JCR had the beating of Davies on the other side, and it was a pity we couldn't get him on the ball more in the second half.

Yep, I thought it was strange we didn't attack down the right a bit more in the second half, given JCRs success in the first half. Unless it's a tactic? Burn JCR first half, use sparingly in the second, giving more of the ball to Murphy?

Heard a few Spurs fans at the train station rejoicing about getting rid of Kyle Naughton too.

I think they only like Harry Kane.

I think Naughton was guilty of a few high profile errors in his time. However, some allowance must be given for the fact that even though he's a right back, he's been deemed their best option at left back more often than he's played in his favoured position. I hope he gets a good run and does well for Swansea.

Thought Walker did alright last night. Rarely let Muprhy get past him and still chased him down anyway.

I think JCR may have done better against Walker and I think Murphy would have had more luck against Davies.
