Add to that a model pro, works hard too.
The agenda against him by some is utterly cringeworthy.

They forget too, if you want a 20+ goals a season striker then you need a Siggy in your team to provide the assists, how else are the goals going to be created?

finally someone makes this. ive been defending him to people who says he doesnt do anything and doesnt make enough assists , by saying he could have gotten lots of assists if our strikers/wingers could finish

It’s not really an agenda, it’s more of a frustration.
I think his biggest detractors would agree he is capable of brilliance. His performance against Utd was outstanding.
The reason fans get frustrated is because he goes missing in a lot of games and seems to struggle to stamp any authority in certain games.
I like him as a player, but I’ve sat through plenty of games at Goodison this season where I’d say he deserves to be picked out as not doing enough to influence the game.

I DON'T CARE WHAT EVIDENCE YOU HAVE, MY AGENDA IS HE NEEDS TO DO MORE FFS

Harsh to say majority of them should have been assists. Maybe the 2 Walcot ones. The rest, Sigurdsson has missed easier chances himself, and I'm not even including pens.
Half agree. There's a reason why he's the one consistently getting on the end of those balls though, his awareness and ability to make the right the right runs in those situations is infinitely better than any of our other attackers. Unfortunately this season his finishing has been woeful, but it's interesting that DCL's ability to run away from goal is currently being used as evidence of his worth to the team while Walcott's ability to run towards it is evidence of his gashness.
Don't care how many times you get into good positions if you can't slot whatsoever. Nice to see you bring DCL back into another argument again though.

No, he has pace, but his awareness and lack of ability to make smart runs is part of the reason he comes under such criticism. Absolutely no football intelligence.
'Another argument again?' Is it something I do a lot? I don't think so.
It's relevant though isn't it? People are currently in the DCL thread saying it doesn't matter that he doesn't slot because he causes teams problems. And yet here you are saying that it doesn't matter that Walcott causes teams problems, because he doesn't slot. Personally I think they both do a good job for the team, but could do with scoring more goals. I'm consistent like that you see, looking at the team as a whole, rather than being a fanboy for individual players. I appreciate that not everybody is like that though.
So all those chances are down to raw pace? Watch the clips mate, virtually none of them are down to him just being quick, they're intelligent runs. He has poor football intelligence on the ball at times, and many other failings, but his off the ball runs are very good, always have been. I don't even think he's that quick anymore, not like he was in his early 20s. I'd be surprised if he's significantly quicker than DCL, Richarlison etc who aren't getting the same amount of chances in those positions.
If DCL didn't offer anything else to the team then I'd never advocate him being in.
Walcott offers nothing else hence he's on the bench - he was brought in at a considerable fee to slot those chances.
