kolo toure: and now somehow about Theo

[Power n Glory]

Done.

The point is that if I was making a point about Kolo, I wouldn't use Bergy and Campbell to support it.

Which reminds me, what happened to Bergstar?

Yeah and Jen's Face is missing too.

Go back to the last match thread to find my latest criticism of Theo Walcott. I'm not saying the guy is a pub teamer, I'm saying he's failed to deliver on his potential. Gervinho has come in and already done more than Theo and that says a lot about Theo. The guy has plenty to say for himself, whether in the media or in books, but seems to do more talking off the pitch than on it. He needs to change that don't you think? If he improves then I'll say well done Theo too. I want him to improve.

IMHO Walcott has shown enough to suggest that Wenger hasn't found his best position/combination.

[fakeyank]

I could say the same about you and your laughable critisisms of Walcott which you've been very quiet about since the Chelsea game

Wonder why?

As for Jenkinson, he was shite pre season and even worse at the start of the season. He was even crap in midweek v Marseille. He might have played well v WBA but one game in a season doesnt make a player good

I dont think Jenkinson is all that either. He seems very slow on the ball but he definitely is growing every game. He shouldnt be playing so many first team games so soon but our luck with injuries coupled with the genius that AW is, we have him playing week in week out. One thing though, this kid has got a killer cross! Bendy or Ade would be popping them in for fun... too bad we dont have any decent headers in the team!

[Power n Glory]

Now that it seems we have moved on to Theo.

When will people realise, that he is not going to get better?

How many fucking years of aspiring and failing to achieve mediocrity will it take?

He is awful, he is incapable of learning and even yesterday, against West Brom, he could rarely beat a man.

He was incredibly fortunate yesterday when he should have scored, that Van Persie was following up when he shot it straight at the keeper.

Theo was the one dark cloud in a shining performance and I'm a long way past being fed up with this guy.

It's funny because the other week he was giving Cashley nightmares. He's inconsistent if anything. Far from awful.

Done.

why? Has Kolo not done enough to be mentioned among these legends? I mean all 3 played a big part in AW's success here, check. All 3 gave us their best years, check. All invincibles, check. In fact i believe Kolo played a bigger part in that legend than the other aforementioned, check. Sol left when it was clear the world beater Senderos was being preferred and he'd get a confirmed starting place and better pay packet 'abroad', check. And none has ever said/ done any evil to AW or Arsenal. So it's not like i compared Bentley to Bobby or something....

Theo is a flirt!
promises much but then disappoints on delivery. . . .he is massively inconsistent and equally frustrating however. . .I am seeing something of a change in him, well the last two games have shown it IMO.

He seems to be trying to mimic Gerv on the other side, maybe its the team as a whole and the obvious confidence, take his goal against Chelsea as direct as you like and resisted the temptation to go down much some were criticising him for doing just a while ago, Bolton I think?

Saturday he looked to run with the ball, something hes not great at but did alright.

I dont hate Theo and I agree with all that say he is mot a winger. . .but if he gets given that role he needs to do the best he can

Also i was contrasting them only to highlight how i believe Kolo's standout qualities of passion and enthusiasm, would add nothing to what we unfortunately call our back 4. Simply put Verm's steel reminds me of Sol/Den while kos is undoubtedly Kolo like. It's just a question of what sort of player mentality we can do with/without.

He's inconsistently awful.

Not sure I follow.
