Well, I was wrong. Walker is more effective and the overall better right back. He is just as turnover prone as Johnson, but he at least makes it up more on the defensive end. The stats that stand out most for me are his 34.9 back pass percentage, 20.2 successful cross percentage, and especially his 60.2 long ball success percentage with 100 attempts. The latter is just ridiculous when you consider he only played in 26 matches.
How is Kyle Walker not in the England side for the WC? Apparently Phil Jones is second choice and that's just laughable. Might as well put a cardboard cut-out of a donkey out there, it will do the same as 'El Terminator'.
