There's something up with him.

He's been below par all season.

I think he's been alright overall, even if I do get unbelievably frustrated with him. I'd query there being anything up with him, this is probably very much his level of performance. Hence Arsenal not being desperate to keep him.
 

He has to be sold. He's 30 in march and its the last chance for us to get a decent fee for him (maybe even our money back).

Nowhere close to the level we need and id snap someones hands off for £20mil, i hope Marco and Marcel feel the same.

Amazed at some of the posters here calling people 'clueless' for pointing out all his faults. He's basically another Aaron Lennon -- pace and can defend.

Top sides win games by going on the front foot...look at Richarlison on the left, attacks and defends at the top level and scares the opposition.

Before someone posts that Richarlison was a 'one off', look at ALL of our other signings under this management: Mina, Digne, Zouma, Gomes, Bernard and Richarlison...no reason we cant hope for another star signed.

Imagine walcott + £15mil = Richarlison.

Sell pronto.
 
It's likely that Lookman will get a run over the next few weeks, depending whether Walcott was injured yesterday or not, but it's worth remembering that when Lookman comes on he's running at tired legs whose energy has largely been sapped by Walcott. His end product hasn't been there this season, but that's probably true for most of our squad tbh. It's the next step we need to make.

Never remember an Everton side missing this many clear one on ones or sitters, if even held those are put away we'd be talking top four rather than 6th.
Got to say though, horrid feeling at the final whistle yesterday aside, massive positive strides made this season.

Agree. We could have beaten both Arsenal and Liverpool away from home had we been more clinical in front of goal. We created good enough chances to do so. The pleasing thing is that we went to both grounds and went toe to toe with them, which hasn't happened in a while. There's a thrashing in the offing for teams if we can crack that.

Gonna be a fascinating second half of the season too. We've given all those teams a right tough game away, have them all to play at him still, think top four is too much of s stretch this season, but no doubt we will have a big impact on who gets there in my mind.

Season now should be about consolidating our position, make a real effort in the cup, and hopefully get gomes signed up and add one or two more in January in preparation for next season

It will be interesting also to see how the squad shapes up. I think we have a clear first XI now, but if we get into Europe next season we'll need a squad, so it will be good to see who can step up over the Christmas period and stake a claim.

He has played in every single game this season. Why on earth do you hope or think that "Marco and Marcel" agree with you.

Money isn't as important to us these days. He can stick around and Lookman can push him every step of the way before finally taking his place, Walcott then will be a very useful squad player.

There is a reason he has played every game so far.

It does concern me that Walcott seems to go down every game at around the 60 minute mark.

He will be on bench Wednesday guaranteed. So many players will look back on careers having never fulfilled potential, he is one
 
Thought he played ok yesterday, Lookman needs a start though Wednesday.

Yeah I would go with that, I don't think its a given or anything but now we have lost you may as well change it a bit. Nothing too drastic.

Walcott could do with a rest anyway.
