Oscar Bobb suggests Man City have a player who’s even faster than Kyle Walker

Oscar Bobb has suggested that Manchester City have a player who is faster than Kyle Walker.

 

Even at 33 years of age, Walker continues to prove he is as freakish of an athlete as football may have ever seen.

 

The £50 million man was seen outpacing Vinicius Junior and Nicolas Jackson against Real Madrid and Chelsea respectively.

 

Kyle Walker seems to take pride in outpacing some of the quickest players in the world and perhaps, that is why he remains in tip-top shape even at his age.

 

Apart from perhaps Fulham’s Adama Traore and Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven, one questions if there is a faster player than him in the Premier League.

 

As Pep Guardiola recently claimed, the Manchester City right-back seems to have “special genetics.”

However, over time, it is natural that Walker’s pace has declined.

 

Of course, the Englishman is still a freight train when he starts to run.

 

But visibly, Kyle Walker would perhaps claim that he was at his quickest during his final season at Spurs or his debut campaign at City.

 

 

The Sky Blues do have their fair share of quick players apart from Walker.

 

One of them is Erling Haaland, who is renowned for his pace, especially over long distances.

 

The likes of Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake are also quite quick, even though the club captain is a lot faster than the pair.

 

But Oscar Bobb has suggested Jeremy Doku is quicker than Kyle Walker, as he was quizzed about which Manchester City player has the best ‘acceleration’ on the game, Football Manager in an interview with them [via TikTok] and he named the former.

 

Jeremy Doku could be faster than Kyle Walker in some situations

In a sense, Oscar Bobb has a point about Jeremy Doku, as he does not perhaps take as much time as Kyle Walker does to get into his stride.

 

Doku has a burst to his running that is unlike many players.

 

Especially over the first few yards.

 

As a result, perhaps Oscar Bobb made the right decision by picking Jeremy Doku and not Kyle Walker when it came to his acceleration.

 

But over longer distances, Walker might have the edge over Doku, due to having longer legs and more running power.
