    That's spot on - he plays better when the RB doesn't overlap him. When jenkinson or sagna go on the outside, the midfielder tracking them helps to double up on Walcott. When Theo is one on one, he has a better chance.Still not convinced he can skin any good defenders but even without the ability to beat players it allows him a free run to the touchline.

    I thought we played quite well on Saturday, offensively we were very good aside from missing a whole load of chances.

    I'm starting to really warm to the RVP/Theo/Gervinho partnership.

    Defence is still a bit of a worry, what was up with Per first half, he was all over the place.

    Things are definitely looking up, the team looks different to what we say a few months ago and confidence is high.

    Theo is hit and miss with his dribbling. One week he’s ripping up the flanks like what we saw on Saturday or against Cole when playing Chelsea and the next he’s just totally off.

    He needs to watch how Gervinho dribbles and model his game on that and I hope Henry shows him the art of switching up your pace while he’s here. He just needs to compose himself on the ball more and get the defender to commit themselves before trying to switch direction and turning on the afterburners. In most cases, he telegraphs his movement and defenders are able to guess where he’s going and they nick the ball off him. If he slows them down a bit and gets them backing off and then makes a sudden burst, he’d beat his man more often. Henry was king when it came to that. Hopefully, he throws a few tips Theo’s way.

    He doesn't have to - if he makes them drop him to get free kicks 25 yards out, RvP will do the rest.

    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
