For me Rose has that something special, don't get me wrong, Walker is good but Rose is exceptional.

Walker lacks the delivery of Trippier. If he could deliver/cross a ball like Trippier he would be world class. Rose is getting better delivery wise. At least Walker has cut the brain farts out of his game. They used to drive me mad! :mad:

Walker needs to eliminate the little two step dance before crossing the ball, like Trippier.

I think he just doesnt trust his own crossing. Hence he tries to do something else and puts crossing as a last option.

Most fullbacks who rely on burning pace rarely can provide good crosses, because its not easy to run fast and cross. Name me a lightning defender who could do that well. There might be but i cant think of one now

It's really not that difficult. Just hit it early and fast into the same area and your attacking midfielders and strikers will know to expect it and be there.

Like, who else does have the delivery of Trippier?

Walker's crossing has largely been very good this season, his 4 assists are testament to that. Its an area in which he has really improved on. Unfortunately Walker has to fight against his reputation and the perception bias that creates.

And when they're not, everyone blames the crosser for poor crossing.

There's a lot of talk about Kane, Dele possibly being sold (which is bollocks) to the likes of RM or Barca. What i cannot understand is why Rose isn't in that bracket. For my money there is no better left back in Europe. Not one.

The longer they fly under the radar, the better. Let's keep it that way.

You don't watch Marcelo play?
