Thoughts on Theo and win the new Arsenal home shirt

MY thoughts on Theo Walcott:

- It’s somewhat harsh on a player who delivered big time for Capello in Croatia.

- He is a player who can make a terrific impact from the bench in the big games. Witness Barcelona last season and Liverpool away in the Champions League a couple of years back. If England find themselves a goal down late on in the knock-out stages, then would be the time for Theo.

- But it is true his form has been poor of late. His decision making is poor and his game lacks cunning.

- It’s wrong as some suggest to say he has not improved at all over the past four years. There was a definite improvement in the season before last. But with all of last season’s injuries he struggled to get any momentum and at times fell back into his old sloppy ways.

- When Sven took him to Germany four years ago he wasn’t just completely inexperienced, he was bloody young too at just 17 and a couple of months. He’s now 21 and a couple of months, which is also very young. He has plenty of time.

- It’s all too easy to say that because he started playing football later than most kids do, his footballistic education has holes in it. But I think there some truth in it: at times he resembles more of an athlete playing football than a footballer. But that’s not to say he won’t become one – it may just take a little more time.

- Injuries allowing, I’ve little doubt he’ll be in the first post World Cup squad.

- Finally for today, your chance to win the new Arsenal shirt once it’s released from the good folks over at Soccerpro, sellers of all kinds of Arsenal shirts and other football gear.

To be in with a chance of winning, simply tell me who Theo Walcott scored his first Arsenal goal against. Answers to GOODPLAYABLOGremovethesecharacters@GMAIL.COM. Competition closes Monday 7th June. (If anyone saw the previous question, please ignore it. I got it wrong!)
