Walcott had a "lack of effective contribution"?
**** me.
**** me.
I don't know what game you were watching, but Theo Walcott turned last night's match on its head. It's no coincidence that we suddenly looked 10 times better when he came on. He deserves every bit of praise he gets.sabret00the said:I see this thread took a turn for the hilarious since last night. Walcott had a great moment last night, where he scored with a school boy finish and rode his luck to our advantage, and a couple of good moment where by Maxwell just couldn't get used to his pace. It was hardly anything to right home about.

If you want to see what a 'brilliant' midfield performance looks like, you'd do better to focus on what some of the Barca players were doing for the first hour or so of the game. Denilson did a reasonable job adding stability to a midfield that was letting attackers through too easily, and not showing for the ball when their colleagues were under pressure.
It never takes much to please a fanboy of any player, but to call that 'brilliant' is stretching it quite a bit. He was fine when he came on, improved us, and was better than some of his counterparts. Was he brilliant? Only by his low, low standards.

They were closing down like speed-fueled terriers last night, AND most of them were a lot more capable in posession than Denilson too. He was decent. Nothing more.
