This is the same Walcott who's done next to nothing in 5 years+ of being with us and who's been living on the hype that surrounded him when we signed him as somekinda wonderkid since then too?
Not forgetting the fact he gave away a penalty in that match.
I don't think he's qualified to give advice about defending to be honest, he's never been much cop at it himself, why would anyone take him seriously when it comes to advice about it?
yep, that theo.
why? because hes an experienced international and is his superior. hopefully with the likes of metersaker, arteta and benayoun coming in the lines of seniority are even clearer to upstarts like jenkinson. its the culture which has crept through the club and that has been fackin us.
We should play a 4-2-4 punt and chase style like Wimbledon did in the 80's, that would be worth it just for the look of surprise of peoples faces when we start punting it 60 yards upto Schmack so he can lay it off to RvP or the defensive strikers.
Long ball footie
In all seriousness we should be playing 3-5-2 and should have been for a few years now. The extra centre back can move forward to support midfield if needed or drop deeper to cover the other 2 against central play, both vermaelen and Meatpacker could do that, the wing backs we already have. In midfield Ateta, Wilshere/ramsey and Song is robust and creative and with enough gumption to allow the creative 2 to play. Then 2 up top with Rvp being allowed the free role to drift wide or come deep and keep either Theo or Gerbilinho up top to occupy the opposition centre backs with their pace.

http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/...-support-robinArsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp believes his old club need a definitive goalscorer to ease their woes in the Premier League.
Bergkamp enjoyed much success in north London, winning three league titles and four FA Cups before he retired in 2006 and returned to the Netherlands.
The Gunners sit near the foot of the table in 15th place and the Dutch master believes front-man Robin van Persie needs some support up top and has also backed under-fire manager Arsene Wenger.
"When I look at Robin van Persie he is the front player, but he is better in my old role. They are missing an out-and-out goalscorer. Now they play with an extra midfielder instead," Bergkamp told the Daily Mail.
"The midfielders are all the same sort of players. You need one who wants to get behind Van Persie.
"I know he's [Wenger] the one who will be struggling the most. But with his experience, it'll be okay."
The 42-year-old also insists the team could do with the inspiration of another former Gunner in Patrick Vieira, an individual who almost returned to north London before deciding on taking a football development executive role at Manchester City.
"There was talk of Patrick going to Arsenal during the summer. I would've done everything possible to get him there," added Bergkamp.
"Just to get him in and around the dressing room. It would have brought so much to the team."
Bergkamp is currently on the coaching staff at his old side Ajax and admits he would love to come back to England to do the same, but insists management is not for him.
"The plan is to be settled here now I've built my house. But there is something that stays with me, something in my body that wants to go back to England one day as part of a coaching staff," he admitted.
"That is always in my mind. I don't miss specific things but I miss the feeling which I can't really explain. I haven't sold my house there yet.
"I've never seen myself as a manager. As a manager you have to put all your time into the job and that would be difficult for me. As a player I wanted to switch off at home and it's the same now. I would maybe feel trapped.
"You have to always be involved and, if you're not, you are not doing it right. I want to just drive home, switch off and spend time with my family."

Every man and his dog knew we needed a goalscorer, Wenger goes and signs some unknown Korean he won't play instead....great bit of management there.
AW doesn't seem to rate goalscorers, scoring goals is obviously not that important to him....doesn't rank as high as triangular passing obviously.
