Actually Walcott shold be dropped for the rest of the season for saying that.
There's still lucas, welbeck, Niles, Adelaide even if Ox is injured.
Palace are safe now, they aren't playing with the same intensity as they were a month ago. Their manager even said as much.
Meanwhile... our team struggle to find any intensity whatsoever...

I think it's a little bit unfair to chastise him for that. I'd much rather we were honest with ourselves and addressed our problems rather than giving blown up rhetoric.
Having said that there is a time and place to say the truth.
The "they wanted it more" comment was daft but I don't think Theo deserved the stick he got. Like you say, at least we had a bit of honesty rather than the whole "we weren't at it, we'll put it right ASAP."
That said, this summer we should be looking to move Theo on. I'm more than convinced he's not a starter for a top team and he does little off the bench nowadays too. Should fetch a good fee.

Theo has a habit of blurting things out in an effort to appease fans. Earlier in the season after one victory, he put it down to a team meeting that should have been kept private until few more results came right.
It surely has gone stale for him though and the new formation kind of shuts him out. He says he is not a striker and certainly not a wingback.

well i think it was a really cr*p thing to say, but the point i was making was that it's possible it annoyed Wenger and that's one reason we've seen little of Theo since then

I think he deludes himself,, thinks He's an intellect as well as a top top footballer, completely lacks/shows little of guile. Should not do interviews cos He just parrots out albeit crisp cliche instead of engaging the brain. Same on the pitch, can not create, just plays to a recognised repetitive pattern which works in some games but not in others, has no or limited ability to switch it up to meet the demands of each individual game.(Arsenal in a nutshell).

Glad he spoke publicly about how crap the state of the locker room really was at the time and possibly still is.

Wouldn't put much weight into winning games without him/losing games with him unless it's undeniably due to him.
Our eyes can tell us that he's rubbish. Mane would have been a good replacement. Would like to replace him with a 15-20 Goals/Assists player who can actually play football.

We should have gone for a player plus cash deal when Theo and his agent were holding us to ransom (again!) and Sterling was forcing his way out of Liverpool.
Instead of which we gave him the most undeserved rise since...since...I don't know, probably some banker somewhere.

I remember an article that summer saying that Sterling wanted to join us which isn't too surprising tbh. He's a Londoner and I've heard he's an Arsenal fan. Makes sense.
I don't think Wenger would ever pay that amount of money though.
