Yeah problem is he isn't all that in the middle either, his finishing isn't consistent enough (Shearer felt the same on MOTD).

Yeah, let’s just see how the kid does in the middle. You’ve shitted on him enough about his wing play and of all people you must be curious to see how he does in the middle. I’ve been saying he’s a striker for years and you’ve always disagreed. Let’s see what happens.
He hasn't scored that many to be honest and he's certainly fluffed a lot as well. Moreover we're a team who generally create a lot (and miss a lot) so it's hardly a surprise he's got a few goals.
His career at Arsenal so far, very average, in fact Mr Average sums him up perfectly, if we did end up selling him I wouldn't be sorry to be honest. Never really impressed me, yet in the short time I've seen Oxo he has, make of that what you will.
I honestly don't care if he's English or not, it's just that his performances on the pitch haven't been good enough IMO.
I dont rate Theo very highly but I do think he will twice as effective down the center when compared to the wing. AW is obviously going to play the shit 4-3-3 formation and fuck his career up, so all his rumblings about being wasted on the wings is no use.
Hope Theo picked up a few ideas from AOC yesterday.
Hope he's got enough brain power to still remember them today.
Valencia and Oxlade showed how proper wide midfielders/wingers are supposed to play. Walcott is extremely one dimensional compared to the pair of them.
It's obvious that it all comes naturally for Ox, Theo is so limited in comparison. One is a footballer the other is a sprinter.
Need to mug off some team asap while his stock is still high.
Citeh for 25M would be great.
I think Theo was shown up by an 18 year old that is driven by a want to win not money.
Pretty much
The choking has been prominent in all Wengers sides over the years. However during 98-05, when we did choke, we had the talent and mentality to come back and be our best which would lead to trophies
Now we dont have the talent or mentality but the choking remains. Our best these days is struggling to a win v Pub Teams such as QPR, Norwich etc
It may seem like hindsight but it's true. Even at our strongest we'd be poor in Europe and could never win back to back titles under Wenger. The flaw has always been there. It has gotten worse over the years and that's down to is having younger inexperienced players. He can't steady there nerves when they panic. I suspect in the all days we always had an old head in the dressing room that could demand a performance and get them to snap out of a funk if I was getting silly. We had games where we just weren't performing with any confidence but it's never been so bad. Wenger is suited for coaching youth teams.
theo needs to sort himself out pretty dam fast, been playing like utter shit last few games, and demanding 85k a week. if he doesnt improve in the next few games then tell him to fuck off over summer.
Don't go there girl!
Oh no she didn't!
