That moment when he knocked the ball past their defender then overhit the cross was pure unadulterated Walcott.

I wish he would be more direct like that but once he got past the man he could have literally walked that ball into the box with the amount of space and time he had. Looked like he couldn't wait to get rid of the ball.

Looked lively but why didn't he move towards goalie after beating that defender it makes no sense at all. Then the over hit cross did me in. Next wave of clean out if he doesn't think it through.

Won’t be getting on the pitch often once Iwobi and Kean are fully fit.

He has no confidence in front of goal, but his crossing is equally as desperate at the moment, which is a shame as his movement is really good.

Still got his pace

Actually thought he looked bright when he came on. Made some smart runs that as usual no one picked up on and harried their left side. Yes he oherhit the cross but Richarlison couldn’t make a 4 yard pass all game.

Get rid ASAP

Get rid ASAP

honestly thought he might have gone during the window, he seems to be Silva's go to guy for subs though.

I still rate him as a good player to have in the squad. He's an intelligent footballer and his movement is excellent. There's a reason why he always seems to get chances. The shot that Kean took near the end, Walcott sprinted half the length of the pitch to take up a great position in the box and would have been free if it was squared.

The problem is that he's being payed a lot to be sitting on the bench.

Done the hard part knocking it past the player then he just went weird

 

[brigadier]

Got picked out with a long ball right on the edge of the box , didn't have the quality to control and turn, he's the bench Mark for mid table and that's what we are until we start playing someone with real quality .

Yes seemed to panic a bit and rush the cross, which caused him to overhit it. Now if that was a young player you could understand it, baffled, could have took it on further.
