Match reaction vs Villa (fa cup)

[Niall_Quinn]

The comment on Theo is off but the whole post is off. Song was right to curb his attacking runs eapecially when Kos, Verm and Coqulin are bombing forwards. It wasn't necessary for him to push up.

Totally wrong on Rosicky. One of the reasons why our play was so fluid and in general, I don't remember seeing too much sloppy play from anyone today. Just a bad assessment of the match in general. There was a huge difference in that performance compared to how we played in our last three games. Huge.

In your opinion. You're not forgetting that bit are you?

to a degree i agree with NQ, dont think theo was particuarly great today, there were times were he fluffed chances, can think of one when he was through in first half, didnt always beat his man and put in some crap crosses. but neither do i think he was that bad, he did help a lot and some of his play was good. overall i would give 6.5 today.


and another note, the fans that booed arshavins name before kick off when teams read out, are cunts and can fuck off. he is useless and should be got rid but booing him before the match. joke

really they were booing him ?

[Cripps_orig]

No they werent

[Power n Glory]

Yeah, I mean expecting a professional footballer with the speed and acceleration theo has to take on a player instead of running straight into him is very high expectations

But there is no mention of when he beats his man like he did when scoring that goal. It was lucky, but created from a tight situation and Theo needs to learn to drive into the box like that more often because defenders are scared to too touch him. He had a decent game today. No real howlers besides that rushed shot when approaching goal. Lacked composure. Other than that, he was good. His first touch and link up play is improving. He's learning to get out of tight situations when marked closely.

yep mate was at the game and confirmed it and loads of people talking about it elsewhere.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Theo's goal was fortunate, but in that instance he created his own luck through the run into the box. It created confusion and panic in the Villa defence.

We just don't get enough of this assertive play from Theo.

He scores with his arse
He scores with his aaaaaaaaarse
Theo Walcott he scores with his arse

I feel sorry for the villa fans they out shat us

Yep, it's my opinion but I don't think alone in what I'm saying. The Roscky assessment is well off and I don't think we player anywhere near as bad as I've seen us play, especially when I think of the Fulham and Swansea games.

We hardly won a tackle, couldn't string a few passes together, hardly threatend their goal. Different performance today.
