2017/18 Theo Walcott

[ilikecheese]

Oh, we're turning on him already? Good stuff

He appears to be auditioning for 'The Ghost of Christmas Present' role.

For me it's less about turning on him, but rather recognizing other folks who also play a winger role at the club are slated for taking a breath because they woke up...but still found a way to actually test our opponent's keeper.

Theo hasn't managed testing a keeper in a while. He hasn't managed to break much of a sweat tbh.

 

[Azzurri]

HASNT PLAYED WELL IN 3 GAMES WHERE WE HARDLY TOUCHED THE BALL.

RUBBISH GET RID NSNO

 

[when i score we riot]

Everything going forward has been absolutely cack and it's not entirely our wingers' fault. Except Bolasie. Definitely at fault

 

[boris]

Bolasie showed more than him today and that's saying something.

I thought it was just me who seen this but Bolasie was getting leathered non stop where I was sitting yet Theo was just ”unlucky”.

Exactly this, it’s more a case of defending Bolasie than criticising Theo.

 

[MikeH72]

He's being used completely wrong. His game is not man marking the opposition winger 30 yards inside our own half for 90 minutes.

 

[Sharpattack]

Another one who adds to the theory. Goodison Park: where careers go to die.

Hard to blame Walcott with the supporting cast in the middle of the park

Exactly. It's not as if we have a system whereby balls are played up to midfielders who have the ability to pick a pass immediately and move it forward at pace. We don't have the manager or midfielders capable of that.

True, but he might help his case if he broke sweat occasionally

I agree but people seem to have no problem blaming Bolasie who does have at least some positive impact on games recentley.

Neither should be getting criticised. Judgement should be getting reserved on them for when they’re working with an attack minded manager.

 

[Papa Shango]

He is miles ahead of the rest of the squad in the head. Get more in like him and we will be fine.

 

[Toast]

What an eloquent fella who totally gets it.

Is right Theo.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Took his goal well after an initial poor first touch, and ran around a lot.
