He's not such a threat. Yes, he gets goals and has brief bursts when he takes teams apart, but football is all about consistency. He isnt nearly consistent enough and in some games is totally anonymous (mainly against the big clubs who mark him tight and dont let him get away). He is still young and could improve but equally he could turn out to be another Shaun Wright- Phillips.
What, big clubs like Chelsea, Liverpool, AC Milan, Barca. He needs to be more consistent, but he also needs a consistent run in the team. When he scored thy hat trick for England he was flying for us as well but got injured. Last season after the 'no footballing brain' period after his hat trick, he was flying again but got injured.
He's got a good record against the big clubs. He's not always the best player on the pitch, but he has a stand out moment where he gets a goal or assist.
The only big game he hasnt really done it in is Man Utd.
Maybe that'll change tomorrow
Not sure how many 22 year olds have had as many moments as Theo tbh. People are waxing lyrical at Cleverly, but he's the same age and barely made an impact on loan. And WTF was ashley young doing at his age?
Even Lennon currently disappears more than this lad on occasion after only finding some consistency last season.
Good post ^^
Theo is one of our only game changers we have left in the squad. Dont know why he receives so much criticism when he is so young still and being played out of position.
Theo has said in tomorrows programme that he wants to play through the centre now and feels wasted on the wing.
Read the interview on the Arsenal app so im guessing it's on the site as well.
Walcott in the centre with RvP and AOC taking theos place![]()
