England Selection Battle: Kyle Walker vs Nathaniel Clyne


With England preparing their selves recently for the Euro 2016 competition this summer with a win against Germany and then a loss against Holland. Many people have said that Kyle Walker has just about edged ahead of Nathaniel Clyne for the right back position in the England squad. Using whoscored.com to check out the player statistics, we will review who is leading the way in terms of statistics. I will be reviewing only both of their performances in the Premier League during the 2015/2016 season.

At the time of writing this Walker has made 27 appearances for Tottenham, playing 2422 mins of the field. Clyne has made 29 appearances for Liverpool and has played for 2610 mins.

Taking a look at the tackling statistics, both players are very even in this area, having both made 2.5 tackles on average per game in the Premier League. In terms of stats, per game Walker has had 0.8 times per game when players have dribbled passed him, compared to Clynes which is 0.4 times per game. An interesting stat can be to look at the interceptions per game, on average Clyne makes 1.7 interceptions per game and Walker has made 2.8, which is quite a bit higher. In terms of key passes, whoscored.com has shown that Walker has made 27 key passes in total and that Clyne has made 18 in the Premier League. One stat that stands out to me is the number of times Clyne has been dispossessed of the ball, this season he has lossed possession 29 times, compared to Walkers which is at 15.

I do certainly think the stats back up Walkers shout to be the right back for England during Euro 2016. It seems Walker would be more of a steady choice at right back. I think both players are good, but for me I think Walker just about gets the nod.

Who would you pick to be Englands right back during Euro 2016?
