I don't think anyone is blaming Walcott for the defeat, but we are pointing out his obvious flaws in a game where work rate and defensive discipline were always going to be at a premium.
Vs Liverpool, he did exactly what you said he should have been doing all match and got panned for lack of potency in front of goal. Today he pushes higher (probably due to instruction) to provide more of a threat, scores and gets panned for not babysitting jenkinson who should really have been covered in these situations by Ramsey or Coq. But whatever, certain players will be vilified no matter what here.
