WALCOTT - which position is best etc?

[foxinthebox2001]

Best position? Currently, the bench.

West Ham's bench.

[Redarmy]

About time he came out with some comments along the lines of "watch out we are going on an unbeaten run and will win the Title"

He is an overpaid Coward never be a striker

Seriously, I haven't counted, but there has to be about 50 names there. Look at all the people most would laugh to scorn if any suggested we'd buy... and yet here we are - unable to improve on the squad, because none better out there.

Dele Alli has scored more goals THIS SEASON, than Wilshere has in his entire career! (and that's not even taking into account his 2015 loan - 4 gls in 12)

And Wilshere is about to sign a new one hundred and ten thousand pound per week contract, whilst Alli is on £25k.

That's now gone past being 'shocking'... that's stepping into a whole new category, to which my vocabulary can no longer define."

[SteveO 35]

Level with Junior Stanislas and Glenn Murray

[Redarmy]

Please get rid of this guy, he will constantly let you down, missing chances in key games costing us dear
seems to have lost his pace now, from when he first joined, so that don't leave much as he is not really a footballer
Mentally is weak, makes wrong decisions when receiving the ball, as for being a striker...dont even go there, they are a special breed
and he just don't have it....

[casgooner]

Berahino has barely played this season after his run in with Piece in the summer and he's level with Wally. I hate to be so negative , but when the club thrusts him down our faces as the best thing since Thierry and pay him mega bucks per week for doing nothing, it kinda just brings it out.

[Wilson]

No passion or energy. He doesnt seem to get mad or frustrated. He seems like he is always going through the motions and is indifferent to what happens on the pitch - good or bad.

He also shares Wenger's traits of delusional. Such as when we beat some minnow team 4-0 at home, he comes out and says something like its sending a warning to the rest of the league.

[oaodan]

I hate his after match interviews,too smug and PR conscious.He couldn't be farther from an Adams/Viera/Winterburn kinda attitude.

[Rosie_titters]

sorry my friends. This bloke ain't going anywhere fast.

He always seems to get a good reception from the Emirates crowd when he comes on. Like the crowd are expecting an Henry esque performance with 20 minutes to go. For me yesterday another indifferent display when he came on. Started quick, worked hard and took his goal. But after that, just disappeared out of the game again.

Just like every Arsenal player he doesn't want to take responsibility or grab a game by the scruff of the neck. Just panics and passes it to someone else.

Doesn't take responsibility but scores the leveller and then runs straight back to halfway without celebrating. Hmmm.

He offered as much as Giroud and more than Sanchez yesterday. He scored at home to City, scored yesterday and was the MOTM against United at home, arguably our three biggest matches in the league so far this season.

Disagree, mate. I'm one of Walcott' biggest critics but we were crying out for his pace before we came on and when he did we had a great deal more urgency in our play than we did before, he bollocked Giroud for not being in space and actually made an effort to make runs, get in to space and scored a well taken goal.

Sure, one swallow doesn't make a summer and one good performance doesn't make a world class player but credit where it is due, he actually made a difference yesterday.

+1. He did something - more than could be said for a lot of them out there up to that point

[BFG4]

He is generally average, but when it came to Sunday, he suffered from Wenger's incompetence. In the away match, his pace destroyed Leicester on the counter attack, but Wenger doesn't analyse the opposition so he started Giroud, even though Walcott was the better option. He took his goal well, and was decent when he came on.

[northbank123]

Infuriating player and generally a useless turd. But he does prosper in big games, he has scored bags of goals against the likes of City, Chelsea, Scum, United and even Barca. The extra space in those games means that his selfishness and single-mindedness becomes an asset.

[Wilson]

He could score more. But does anyone notice when he does score its against some pretty good opposition. Our two biggest wins this season against Man City and Leicester City - he scored our first goal in both.

Rather Theo score important goals, than score useless non-important goals like Raheem.
