Will be fine in my opinion.
the main thing with Walcott for me isn't his wastefulness in front of goal, it's how sloppy he gives the ball away in stupid positions allowing the other team 2 break ( united scored both goals from him giving away the ball ) and that's something Bernard does a lot better, keeping hold of the ball
I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make, Fred.
This is the post I meant to reply to and tried to link to you earlier in my sodding phone.The press are now showing a few items on Walcott (via newsnow) and i think Silva and Brands must be looking at him and planning for a replacement.
Hope its in January.

Make sense now?
Have to giggle reading through some threads.
Jan 2018 - 'What a great signing Walcott is', 'we need his pace', 'you can tell he has that quality we lack',' will chip in with his fair share', 'great signing','can't wait for him to link up with Seamus'...
fast forward a whole 10 months
Nov 18 - 'we definitely need an upgrade on Theo', 'he's far too inconsistent', ' there's a reason the top 6 don't want him', ' he doesn't work well enough with Seamus', 'He's far too wasteful', 'get rid'...
it does make amusing reading like ha.
It's the extremes of criticism and praise i was laughing at really, he's always really really great or a waste of space, a saviour 10 months ago and we need to get rid now, just found it quite funny and not only Walcott who gets it....performances change and opinions change. A player can be outstanding for a period then experience a dip, and with that comes criticism. There’s no doubt Walcott has not taken opportunities when situations arise of late, which is a surprise given his reliability of old.
Silva might be exploring options as he wants competition for every position.

..that’s human nature, Bernie.
Oh yes can't beat a good flip flop in your opinions
...not all will be flip flippers, often it’s detractors who keep quiet when form is good and then come out in force when it suits. I call them the ‘I told you so’
A good player going through a bad run of form in terms of taking his chances. His all-round game is still like it was, and he's still getting into those positions.
Still a very important player for us, even if our next big buy could well be in his position.
