2018/19 Theo Walcott

[Toffe3m4n]

Faded badly again. Cracking player when he's 'on it', but in the second half he looked very labored. Still confident he'll improve like.

Got a bit cocky and selfish towards the end but still an excellent game, goal and assist

 

[Joey66]

Great again, goal, assist, one wrongly disallowed and a sitter. Will benefit greatly playing in a side that attacks

it was just offside assistant ref guessed right it was close but offside - the miss was the easiest chance he missed it would have deservedly sealed it......

Thought the lad at CB was just playing him on, tight call either way. Can see Theo getting us 12+ goals this season

No had an ace waterfall showed it it was close Richarlison moved just a yard to quick on the cross = offside a bit of a guess, but it was correct -

His inconsistency is infuriating.

Good player but you always get the feeling he could be so much better.

Still a goal and an assist every game will do for me

 

[ProZ]

Goal and an assist, can’t ask for more.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

He was really good yesterday but really needed to finish that chance after his disallowed goal. That chance was easier than his goal and his offside finish (which was boss) but it was like he had too much time to think and screwed it... saying that, what a move that was, top football there

 

[Prevenger17]

I thought, and still do, that Theo is a superb addition. Looks to have the perfect manager for him to thrive under now too

 

[jackyboy]

Superb footballer.

I thought he was excellent yesterday. A much better footballer than I thought, yes his game is based on pace but he makes great runs, is composed in the final third and normally finishes well! Took his 2 goals well. Great to see us have a front 4 with real attacking threat.

 

[Saint Domingo]

The runs he makes are great. Should have had 3 goals and there were a number of times in this game and last thatbhe could have been slipped in easily. I would be shocked if he didn’t hit double figures this season. Tbh the front four all look as though they can score and assist which would be our most potent forward line in a long time.

 

[TheGeeseofGoodisonRoad]

great start to the season for him ! only question is can he keep it up to a fair level throughout the season. good thing is though we have appropriate cover for him if he doesn't in bernard/lookman

Weekly reminder that @Zatara thinks Walcott should be sold.

Same for me. I've been very impressed with how he links up with his teammates.

I suppose I should have known that he wouldn't have lasted as long as he did at Arsenal unless he could hold his own in possession, but I'd always seen him as being fairly limited in that regard.
