2018/19 Theo Walcott

[Nymzee]

Crazy that hes in for criticism. Squad game now as well. he doesn't perform he will be out soon enough. About time we were in that position

Why’s it crazy to criticise our starting right-winger when he isn’t performing?

Pace is one of Lookmans strengths mate.

Running the forward line and running and defending the wing are two different things.

I think Walcott can get in to double figures for us over the course of a regular league season plus some cup matches (40ish matches) which would be a good return from that attacking right position.

I think 15 to 20 is stretching it looking back on his career but it is good that he is ambitious for himself.

Fingers crossed.

He's miles better than what we've been used to on the right, you have short memories you moaning Beauts. If he finished half his chances he'd be a top player, unfortunately sometimes he seems to need two or three chances but he's still capable of goals and assists regularly.

He's definitely better...apart from a good patch with Deulofeu, recently we've had Osman, Mirallas, Bolasie...who else has started on the right? If he just finished better he'd be amazing. Would have had 5 goals already this season, and would easily make 15-20 for the season. His finishing might improve this year with more chances.

 

[Toffee-nerd]

It's odd his finishing has been poor this season as that's one thing you'd say from his arsenal days that he was a clinical finisher. I'm hoping once he gets a goal he will go on a bit of a spree
Crazy miss against brighton, he just seems a little low on confidence to me and i think a goal would change all that.

Sorry, but how does that mean he lacks pace?

 

[gianthogweed]

Love how fans get abuse for criticising a player.

He is an alright player, nothing more. That's solely the reason why Arsenal got rid of him.

He's one of our highest earners, but he certainly isn't one of our best players. He needs dropping to the bench and then sold on in the summer. We can't afford passengers and his wages vs. his contribution are just not worth it.

Additionally, Coleman and Walcott down that right side is very worrying. Most attacks against us come down that side.

is right and i'll add to that HE IS OVERRATED

He should be on double figures already with the chances hes had

Whilst Lookman is looking sharp, I still feel Walcott is a far more capable player.

 

[Zatara]

Hopefully Brands has a deal lined up for him in Jan...

Because players have bad runs of form throughout a season. I am all for fans suggesting he needs a spell out the team, but calls to sell him are ridiculous.

 

[Vegas Toffee Girl]

I'm a fan of his, but I don't understand why he goes hot then cold on a regular basis.

He always has to be fair. If Richarlison isnt playing against Chelsea, I would play him up top to see if the change of role ignites something in him?

He could easily have been on 7/8 so far. He's had more and better chances than Ricky and Siggy. If he keeps getting those chances and starts putting a higher percentage away he'll easily get double figures.
