Walcott was always pretty useful more often than not, he was a victim of Henry comparisons and huge expectations but he was pretty productive in terms of goals an assists despite it being a major criticism early on. He was one of those players you knew could do something with service. I also believe his contribution in big games is pretty overlooked too. Assists against Milan and Liverpool, goals against Barca, Bayern and the likes. Good record in the league against the likes of Chelsea, Sp**s, United, City. ACL really killed his momentum though because I feel at that stage he was on the cusp of something. Let's not forget despite already going so much he was only 24 when it happened and had progressively been getting closer and closer to his peak. He initially did well on his return but had a poor second half to 15-16 and never really was a starter here again.
I often relive those 49 undefeated matches. I do believe in signs to a certain extent, and as I was born in 1949, I sometimes tell myself it was our destiny to lose the 50th. Those 49 matches are etched within me and within each player: it is something fundamental, a triumph born out of passion.
