Not exact matches
When
Theo Walcott scored in the second minute of the FA cup game at Brighton on Sunday, he became the 18th Arsenal star to register on the score sheet this
season and that took Arsenal one player above the mighty Barcelona, with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich
further behind with 16 and 11.
Striker - We need a goal machine to be putting in those crucial goals be it a new young striker or a mature (not to old) striker... if
Theo and Giroud can replicate what they have done so
far this
season next
season any additional goals would push us closer to the title (or retaining the title)
Stats from the
season so
far absolutely confirm that Arsenal need a better striker in their squad, with Olivier Giroud and
Theo Walcott clearly not doing enough at the moment.
(As
far as I recall,
Theo had only looked out of sorts when played against Bayern as CF some two
season's ago).
It comes as no surprise to anyone to know that
Theo Walcott was
far from his best last
season.
Oh and
Theo is having a good
season so
far, I want to see him start on the right, 15 goals in 26 games is nice from the right, esp as he does run back and help defend now as well.
Recently he also told us that he expected a new improved
Theo Walcott this
season, and with
Theo and Alexis scoring 5 goals each so
far, it would seem that Olivier Giroud can not get a place in the team, never mind Lucas!
Theo so
far this
season has two goals and one assist in the PL.
Theos shot accuracy has been 71 % this
season so
far while Girouds has been 53 %... Saying
Theo can't finishhis dinner is way off the mark but thats prob down to too much belief in the media and doesn't watch enough games himself.
Arsenal have scored 55 league goals so
far this
season, with 25 of those coming from
Theo Walcott or Alexis Sanchez, giving us a distinctly lower threat going forward, and following the result, the manager cited to insist the decision was purely tactical.
We will know more about how reliable Walcott can be as Arsenal and England CF after today's and Saturday's games with Switzerland and Stoke if he's played as CF.. By and large, Olivier Giroud and
Theo Walcott must sort out their lack of goal scoring depth for Arsenal so
far this
season.
Arsenal's
Theo Walcott could prove to be key in the side however, having been playing out of his shell so
far this
season.
Theo has had 1
season in his entire career where he's broken the 20 goal barrier (just), so to try and draw them as comparable is
far beyond the line marked «daft».
Akpom has so
far made seven substitute appearances for the Gunners this
season but since
Theo Walcott's return to fitness he has found it hard to force his way into Arsene Wenger's first team set - up.
We should keep Giroud as a second string striker (try saying that when your Drunk) but the player we should sell without
further hesitation is
Theo Walcott!!!!!!!!!! He has delivered next to F@ck all
season after
season and he had the temerity to demand a higher wage for doing so.
Now while the German wizard and striker Olivier Giroud are rightfully being given a lot of credit for the Gunners» success so
far this
season, I believe
Theo Walcott also deserves the same amount of credit, he really has stepped up his game this
season.
Theo is
far better than Giroud, however, he is not good enough to be our main striker but that doesn't mean he's incapable of scoring 20 + goals a
season.
chamak was a brilliant signing, from what i've seen so
far, koscielny, still weighting up the guy, but for us to really make wave this
season, got to have a least 2 - 3 more players coming in, joe hart, per mertesaker, plus any decent right winger, and we realistically have a chance, can't seem to figure
theo out, always seem like the same player for the past 3 years with no improvment, he must sep up this year, if we gonna be any threat.
After the match, the manager had a lot to say about a number of issues including the Emmanuel Adebayor situation, the likelihood of
further signings and his expectations of
Theo Walcott going into the new
season.

season's Injury League by a
further five points this week, helped by the injuries to
Theo Walcott, Thomas Vermaelen and Mikel Arteta as well as long - standing injury problems.
However, with Welbeck out for the long term, there's even more pressure on Giroud to produce the goods, something he and
Theo Walcott have so
far struggled to do this
season.
Yet in a haphazard
season in which Arsenal have searched in vain for a consistent spearhead — France's Olivier Giroud being endlessly unpredictable,
Theo Walcott being
far less adapted to the role than he himself thinks, Danny Welbeck injured for so much of the
season, why has Iwobi not been used regularly, before?
This leaves Walcott and Podolski as our only remaining striking options, a position neither of them impressed in last
season, however, with such quality and work rate in our midfield they would have
far less to do and could focus more on link up play and running at defenders (
Theo's biggest asset).
