If any of our players need a rest there´s something seriously wrong. They´ve had 1 game a week since August.

We play a pressing game and I think it takes its toll. Players can continue but I would rather them be at 100%. Also it's a squad game these days so need to use it.
 


done a massive job in the summer getting rid of dog players and signing some really good players

need to continue in the next windows and get people like him off the books, decent in his day and done well at first for us but he has offered nothing for about 3 months now, not only is he not offering anything going forward he is an absolute liability for the defence with the amount he gives the ball away
 
he just doesn't have much of a football brain

If Theo Walcott had that ability to see the picture opening up, that football brain, he would be a world-beater, but he has a long way to go and we still don't know how he will ultimately turn out.

He can certainly improve on his deficiencies, but the areas that he has to sharpen up just happen to be the most difficult qualities to fine tune.

It is about seeing options, seeing them early and then being able to pick out the right pass at the right time. If he improves all those areas, he can be a 9 out of 10 player. At the moment, he is 7 out of 10.

But it is not as simple as going out on the training pitch and practising every day. It is about instinct. There is no thought process when you have a football brain, you just see it and play it, so that's why it is so difficult to add that to your game if you don't have that natural instinct.

and at this moment in 2018 he's abar a 3 out of 10

I'm convinced he doesn't control his legs, have you ever picked a dog up out of water and it's still kicking it's legs? that's what Walcott is like he literally just runs but he doesn't even know where to ( mostly into people )
