Bit off topic, so soz, but for England these days, being 27 seems to mean your international career is over anyrate. Probably missed an obvious one, but cant think of a starter being that "old".

He’s not even 27 either.

I think lookman has shown more in his 10 minute stints that theo has done whole season.

....the Richarlison cameo was brilliant because it informed an immediate comparison with Walcott. Quite startling.

Day and night. But did theo do the hard work, like when you wrestle with a jam jar lid for 10 minutes and then your missus just twists it off?

In some ways though it's easier to come into a game with 30 to play, when the pace has slowed. Walcott was poor yesterday but so was Robertson. Robertson didn't/couldn't get forward and influence the game as much as they hoped. I do wonder if Walcott and his direct running is a part of that?

I'm not Walcott's biggest fan, but to me he is a template for what we probably need in that position, but with a better goal return. Someone like Lozano would have been perfect.

Walcotts international career was over long before he ever joined us mate, also he was not exactly getting much game time for a couple of seasons prior to moving as he had fallen out with Wenger over the whole thing of him saying he wanted to play upfront as a striker and Wenger saying he was better out wide. It had got to the point were he claimed to have 'fallen out of love with the game' He is a typical Allardyce signing tbh, Sam thinking he can get Theo playing back like he was when younger but it's never worked out.

Is he only 27?! Should be right at his peak with at least another 3 top seasons ahead of him. What’s the problem?

Lol he peaked in 2012/13, when he was 23.
