Since signing his deal, Waloctt has only played once up front and that was against Bayern. I think Wenger is convinced he can play both Giroud up front while Walcott has some semi winger/striker thing going like Podolski. It just doesn’t work. Even as a solo striker Theo needs to learn that he can’t just sit on the shoulder of defenders all game and expect service.
It’s not just Walcott, it’s the same for Pod and why he’s now on the bench with Caz now playing in position he used to play for Malaga. He hasn’t got a clue on how to utilise a lot of his players. When we signed Pod, Giroud and Cazorla I wondered who would play where because Cazorla was always a wide player that cuts in whilst Giroud and Pod are more central players. It's a huge mess and he doesn't know his best team or how to make use of what he has here. I'm still baffled at how he's been unable to make use of Arshavin other than on the flanks. He has a similar story to both Waloctt and Pod, frustrating on the flanks but he gets the numbers. Main difference is his age and fitness levels.
After Rosicky's displays last season, I'd have thought he'd be a dead cert to start this term.
