WALCOTT - which position is best etc?
WALCOTT - which position is best etc?
See they've got to RvP now...
Robin saying assists on the majority of his 28 Premier League goals in 2011 have come from Theo - Premier League official website says it's about 5 at most!
I really don't get how he cons the press into it...
After his display for England on Tuesday he was getting 7's and 8's out of 10 in papers for being - and I quote - "LIVELY"!
What the hell does that mean?
I watched him closely during the game and he was the same Theo we all know - illustrated by getting into good positions occaisionally THEN wasting the ball.
He made one decent move where he flicked on then cushion headed a 1-2 with Zamora. That's one contribution in the 60 odd minutes he was on the pitch!
He has his own journos to spread the gospel too:
Matt Law of the Express - this guy said Theo destoyed Ashley Cole at Stamford Bridge. Now I've watched the game three times. Theo beats Cole once with the ball, once without the ball and on THREE other occaisions that he interacts with Cole on the pitch - Cole disposseses him very easily. DESTROYED?

walcott is now world class
his performances do need to get a bit more consistent but we are now talking about a player who has featured in wins over Barcelona and Spain this year.
I think his problem still is that he fades after about an hour. He is at his best at the start of a game.
therefore if Walcott starts then RVP must start as well. There is no point bringing RVP on after an hour when Walcott starts to get tired - as we saw in the game v Marseille. Far better to start them both and bring them both off after an hour when we should then be leading

i'm not walcott's biggest fan, but the truth is that messi said more than once that walcott is one of the very few players barcelona fear, and i believe that that compliment and proof of his ability is worth much more than any of us holding our beers in front of the telly saying "nah, he is just rubbish".
his final ball and finishing still are a bit shite, but he is getting a bit better and his pace, though his only real quality, really gets him into good positions every match. he also works well defensively, better than gervinho and arshavin at least.
i would never ever play him as a striker like he and some people want though.

He was substituted before all the goals scored by Arsenal and England against Barca and Spain .

And showed astonishing skill and wisdom in falling over and bamboozling the Chelsea defense before scoring.rigsby wrote:He scored against Barcelona and changed the game during the 2-2.

Thought it was obvious I was responding to a comment about players being world class just because they featured in a couple of wins against champion sides.
