2018/19 Theo Walcott

[Osamabindiesel]

Mostly worked on defense today. That’s what happens when you go a man down

 

[suey_11]

Lacked a bit of sharpness.

 

[RomanReigns]

not one of his best games, didn't look hungry at all to get on the ball

 

[mkrudden]

Loads of excuses for him being thrown about but tonight x30 games is a normal season for Theo.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

he was out most of pre season with injury wasn't he? that's my excuse for him

Mine too. Hopefully he'll be back to full swing within a few weeks.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Could have been slipped in 3 or 4 times for shots on goal. That’s what he offers. We didn’t find him enough today.

He never plays a full season because of injuries.

Kindly post the stats of his last 30+ game season at Arsenal and the accompanying stats to rubbish your own argument.

Lacking fitness/sharpness, nothing more nothing less.

 

[AmericasToffee]

He played a fine game. One whiff on a volley but got in dangerous positions a lot. Never got rewarded

I think this is why we have Richarlison, Bernard, Lookman and Sandro, because we can't play Lookman for 25 / 30 games, and Walcott won't. So realistically you've got Richarlison and Bernard who need to play a lot. And Sandro, Lookman, Walcott share the games between them. If Tosun gets injured, suddenly Niasse is the main striker, which is why DCL is important too. Good balance and depth in attack i think, finally!

It was more of an analysis of a season's input (/38) games rather than a statistical observation.

The fact remains though that at 28/29 the game is still passing Walcott by. It happened countless times last season, it's happened again today because he didn't fancy it.

He didn't have a few bursts and run out of steam like youre intimating, he just didn't take responsibility.

Last season it was because of Sam. Today because of a lack of fitness. The reality, imo, is that he just cant be consistent enough. That's why he lost his England place and lost his Arsenal place.

On his day, one of our best but i predict we simply won't see it enough.

 

[Everton_Gary]

Wasn't in the game enough today. Twice he mad great runs and was open for easy goals and the ball wasn't passed to him. Needs to get on the ball more in the next game and swing in those dangerous crosses.

 

[Zatara]

I wish we had 2 richarlisons...walcott needs to massively up his performance level

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Theo looked rusty. He will improve, no doubt.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Poor

I wasn’t intimating that at all mate. He’s played about half a game in pre-season, hes nowhere near the pace, it’d be weird if he turned up in top form having just got over an injury.

If he’s still doing this in 5 games time you’ve got a point, right now though I think it’s grossly unfair and based on not a lot.
