For me, Theo should be behind RVP and Eduardo on the depth chart, partnering both players through out the season.
Theo's absence was rather one of the biggest reasons for our bad run of games during that time. We've played much better with him in the team than without him.DaGunners said:No, not bullshit at all. As I said, Theo is a one trick pony. Get the ball, turn, run towards goal. When he comes up against a good defender, we can't use that side of the field going forward.
Klaus Daimler said:So he did nothing except having part in the game-defining moment then? I disagree, but even so - that's hardly the same as nothing. They were relieved to see the back of him when he finally went off injured. Rooney had so much trouble keeping track of him that he almost got sent off.
Football isn't that easy ricky. Otherwise every single striker with a bit of pace playing for a decent team would've scored ****loads every season. It's a simplified image made to support the argument of Walcott up front by people who fancy their strikers to be runners and nothing else.ricky1985 said:Now imagine Walcott upfront. No dedicated left back to stop him, no wide man to double up on him. Walcott in between the two centrebacks able to make runs right, left, or through the middle, from outwide between the fullback and centreback, or dropping deep, and spinning off the terrified centreback, who dropped deep with him. No defensive work to worry about, no attempt to get involved in our build-up play. Just sniffing for space, ready to switch on the turbos and move into it. I just see him as a completely different animal as a striker.

A good night to you too!
