2017/18 Theo Walcott

[Sy-]

Was invisible for most of the match. No idea why he gets such a pass.

I didn't watch the game as I was out doing car stuff, but I'm going to take a stab and guess (once again) nobody in the middle of the park was looking to pass to him where he wants it?

He just does very little also

I dunno. Bolasie gets beaten to death, and rightfully so at times, but he was far more involved in this match.

That is fair, but at least play to his strengths of running at his man, as opposed to everyone hanging about hoping we cling on to possession after Pickford has punted it in the general direction of their centre backs.

 

[f.t.r.s]

if we looked for him half the time we passed to bolasie we'd have a decent chance of creating something

aye, he lost possession and created nothing far more often than theo today

Wish someone would pass to him. It is a shame that due to Sam's tactics he has to spend most of the time at rb.

 

[Abraders]

And yet bolasie is the only player to create anything in the previous 4-5 games

How many shots on goal did Theo have?

 

[LocalNative]

Fraud.

Done absolutely nothing since his two (only) goals and gets a free pass every week.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

I actually think Coleman is carrying an injury or simply nowhere near up to speed yet. Walcott isn't getting much help on that right hand side and isn't seeing much of the ball at all, wheres the ball makes its way over to the left a lot more only for most moves to be ruined by that fraud Bolasie. He could be doing more, but I suppose he's still recovering from PTSD having transitioned from Arsenal's fine passing style of football to Allardyce's hit-and-hope hoofball game.

Play him through the middle.

The funny thing is, every time we’ve had a winger play through the middle (Lookman, Vlasic, Mirallas, Pienaar etc.) they’ve had some of their best moments. Wingers rely on teammates to get the ball, so it’s no surprise their impact is exponentially higher when played centrally. They can’t kick the ball to themselves ffs

I don't know how you can expect him to play good football when the entire club hasn't played good football for going on 12 months now, and that's being generous.

I think the likes of Tosun and Walcott are actually decent players but they're not going to be able to show it in this set up. Too many bad eggs, led by a rotten egg of a manager.

 

[Zezti]

Like what's the point in playing wingers when we just hoof it over them

 

[Azza]

He had 28 touches of the football today.

If he doesn't have the football how is he supposed to create.
