What now for Walcott?

[Power n Glory]

Wenger's got it right again. Played him out wide and he scored 2 goals. Definitely his most effective position.

Wenger

I heard Theo had a mixed game but everyone is talking about the two goals he scored and the quality of his finishing. What does that say? in most cases, a proper winger will be a constant thorn in the opposing squads side, but with Theo, he can be hit and miss or anonymous in games, but then pop up with a brilliant goal. As a striker, one that is able to drift, he'd still be able to float around the pitch, drop deep, go wide or play of the shoulder but not have to worry so much about contributing so much to the build up play.

We could say all of them had a mixed game cos the first half, everyone was shit. Giroud scored the goal but other than that, nothing to talk about positively.

2nd half, they were all excellent bar Girouds missed penalty but other than that, nothing to mention negatively

I like the look of this Gnabry dude. Never heard of him before yesterday but looked impressive

Well Walcott and Arshavin were shit in the first half.

Everyone else played quite well.

I was there as well.

It seemed like everyone was playing well until the attack broke down normally with Walcott or Arshavin.

We must have watched different games.

IMO, Walcott should be getting on the end of attacks and finishing off moves. Playing deeper in the final third rather than having the responsibility of bringing the ball forward. He can play his part with one twos and dropping back on occasions but if he had more freedom to move, he'd pull defenders all over the place because he's such a threat. Besides scoring more, I think he'd help open up space for others.

Of course that's right. Nobody disagrees - not even Arsene. Which is why this position talk is weird. Right now everyone is drifting about. If Walcott is in the team, he won't be on the right or up front or restricted in anyway. He'll be able to do what he wants. I'm not a fan of Gerv, but barring the last game, you'd have to say e has started the season alright. So what's the problem that people have, because I'm not seeing it. Everything looks rosy atm while the injuries haven't kicked in.
