“He has a lot to improve” – A lot of Tottenham Hotspur fans have reacted to Mauricio Pochettino’s comments on Kyle Walker-Peters.
The 22-year-old right-back is the only option for Pochettino at the moment, and on Saturday, he faced Raheem Sterling.
This was easily Walker-Peters’ biggest test of his career so far, and he struggled in the first half – as Sterling lost him for City’s first goal and then continued to torment him.
In the second half though Walker-Peters was much improved and managed to contain Sterling.
After the game, Pochettino suggested that Walker-Peters has a lot of improving to do – and that he is a backup for Spurs.
Tottenham’s manager is waiting for Juan Foyth to return from injury and Serge Aurier to regain match fitness – so, for now, he only has Walker-Peters available, and he is demanding to see improvementfrom the young right-back.
These Spurs fans agree with their manager.

Many Tottenham fans believe that Walker-Peters needs to hit the gym – as he is too slight in their opinion.

Defensively inept, position wise.

Other Spurs fans are worried about the 22-year-old’s positioning – and they believe he needs to improve that part of his game.

However, some Tottenham fans think that Walker-Peters is getting better, but he has a long way to go before he is good enough to play regularly for them.
