Kyle Walker faces former club Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.
Pundit Phil Neville has told Sky Sports’ The Debate that he thinks Kyle Walker has managed to improve since leaving Tottenham Hotspur for Manchester City.
Spurs travel to take on City this weekend in a huge game, with Tottenham buoyant after 5-1 and 2-0 wins over Stoke City and Brighton and Hove Albion respectively over the last week.
Mauricio Pochettino now takes his side to the Etihad Stadium to face City, and is handed the opportunity to bring Pep Guardiola’s remarkable winning win to a crushing halt.
City’s 4-0 win at Swansea City on Wednesday night means they have now won 15 Premier League games in a row, and remain unbeaten this term having only failed to win once, and that was a draw.
The game will also see Kyle Walker face Tottenham for the first time in a competitive game since leaving Spurs for City in a blockbuster transfer over the summer, which adds extra intrigue to the game.
Walker, 27, was a key player for Spurs but seemingly had his struggles with manager Pochettino towards the end of the season, which helped facilitate his huge move to City.
In truth, Spurs have missed Walker’s attacking ability this season, whilst the England right back has been vital to City’s play going forward, with Spurs no doubt prepared to keep tabs on his play this weekend.
Ahead of the game, oundit Phil Neville has told Sky Sports’ The Debate that whilst everybody thinks Pochettino is a superb coach, Guardiola is even better when it comes to improving players, noting that Walker has improved since leaving Spurs and Pochettino to join Guardiola at City.
“He’s improved players,” said Neville. “Kyle Walker’s gone from Tottenham, and everyone thinks Pochettino is a great coach. Walker has actually improved since he’s gone to Manchester City,” he added.
