His legs are slowing and the pace he once possessed is fading.

His tackling has improved significantly recently.

Decent in the air but could improve that aspect of his game.
Antonio Valencia
Kyle Walker
Pace
9
Blisteringly and effortlessly fast. One of the quicker full-backs in the world.
Crossing
6
Surprisingly, considering his abilities, his crossing tends to be poor. Perhaps he needs to slow down before hitting the cross to improve his accuracy.
Tackling

Not the best feature of his game, he can be a bit wild, but he is strong which helps him in the challenge.

Has excellent technique, which is why Spurs often used him to take setpieces. Though it does seem to go missing at times.

Very strong in the air, he is big, strong and has a fantastic leap.
