Walker said he would be more involved in the offense in the new season and revealed that Rodri had apologized for the red card in the locker room. In the last round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Nottingham Forest 2-0. In the 7th minute of the game, Walker penetrated into the opponent's penalty area to receive the ball and knock back, assisting Foden to volley and score. Walker said: "It's the timing of the run and I know it's hard to stop as a full-back because you need to see where the ball is and you need to see where the players are. "I try to do things that I don't like the other full-back to do. This is a different role for me this season. I will move forward on the pitch and I can come in and get some assists or goals. I can come in on the wing and increase the team's attack power, hopefully. I can continue to perform at the level that I do.”

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester City midfielder Rodri clashed with his opponent and received a red card. Walker revealed: "When you have to play a game every three or four days, fatigue will turn into negative emotions, which is what we need to learn to improve. In the next week we will have double games in a row, and we cannot be emotionally involved in the game. Control, we need to stay sensible. Rodri has apologized to the team in the dressing room and we will learn from it, it is a lesson for everyone. When you are on the pitch, you have to be responsible. We move on , and learn to improve this aspect.”
