Played first game of the season for 3rd season in a row.
Very good performances in each, he impresses again today. Needs a run of games and we'll have a viable RB for the next decade (and we need 2 RB's for rotation)
He didn't play our opening game last season.
But agree with the rest.
Probably a tough evening for both full-backs with opponents like Sterling and Bernardo Silva.He's always looked decent against relegation fodder and the bournemouths of the world. Next week will be the real test.

I liked that he didn't allow McGinn to bully him about and get away with kicking at him whilst he was on the ground. KWP stood his ground. This was probably first game where I felt that he asserted himself that way. He's had games where he has produced assists and points. But this was the first time he actually felt like a senior player and not just a newly promoted junior.Thought he done brilliant today, hopefully this helps his confidence.
Is stronger than he seems you know.
He showed that he's quite capable of being an EPL regular for us, sure Man City will be a whole new level but that's the same for any team. What we need is a FB who will stay switched on for 90 minutes in games where we have 70% possession, that was (still is) Walker's problem, and Tripps was always a game away from a screw up as well ... KWP is as good as pretty much any EPL defender ... it should be remembered that under the new rules the forwards have all the advantages, there will be more goals, more defenders caught out, more opportunities created so to expect clean sheets every week is no longer realistic ... 3-1 will do fine more fun to watch anyway.
