I think he was putting pressure on himself to prove he can play up front, but now that he's got a goal he needs to kick on.
He pretty much always gets chances for himself, that's a testament to his movement and pace, but he needs 4-5 chances to score 1 and until he becomes more clinical and composed he won't convince many. It's frustrating because that take and finish yesterday was great but it came after we were banging our heads at wall because of his earlier missed chance, and that sums up the split opinion of him.

On a related note, the ball from Ozil was superb, Theo is an outlet he rarely has to aim for because we never have anyone playing off the shoulder of a defender.
