2019/20 Theo Walcott

[JLW]

We should be offering him to villa. Desperate for a forward

I would say give Kirkby skips a call! This fella is an atrocious footballer

 

[Caolam]

Our lack of a credible alternative.

I had thought of that but surely there is a case for playing someone who may play well rather than playing someone who you know won't. If he is the best we have in that position then, as a priority, we need him replaced.

For me it was more about defensive strategy than forward play. We are already dire at set pieces, and although Kean is bigger and stronger than Sidibe, his inexperience cost us for their goal. Richarlison was a huge miss not just for his forward play, his defensive work is amazing at times.

Fair enough...I was replying only to a comment about Theo playing through the middle.

I think the team did quite well given the depletion.

Delphs moronic tackle that lead to freekick didn't help matters.

 

[Zeitgeist]

He's plop

 

[Zatara]

Ancelotti has come out mentioning Walcott and Delph as experienced players who should lead by example.

This wont end well...

I thought footballers were supposed to get better with more experience

I think with Theo because he started playing when he was 16, he's more like a 34 or 35 year old winger now. No wonder Arsenal were happy to sell him. Was it 20m pounds? Is anyone willing to pay that now?

Gets in the right spots but has no end product

No ones that rely on speed

He' still quick though, it's everything else that lets him down

An I only the only person who thinks Walcott has been really good since Ancelotti took over?

Yes mate

He’s been really good if you freeze the tv and walk away after someone finds him in space.

Still makes very intelligent runs and gets in great positions, but his decision making and final ball are poor.

What a weird but correct thing to post in the Walcott thread.
