Being fast is not enough. And, good teams aren't stupid enough to play with a defence on the halfway line which in my eyes is the only time Theo is effective.
Not to be a negative fan. Theo Walcott might have a decent career but the hype surrounding him has killed his progression.
Walcott's speed and control are excellent weapons to unleash upon the enemy.
Who are they gonna play on the right flank who has thta kinda speed?
Aaron Lennon is only marginally slower. But infinetely more talented. He can look and pick a pass, he can cut inside and run at players, he can give and go.
Realistically, Walcott can only run really fast and finish quite well if he gets a chance. But Lennon is just a superior player in just about every other way.
Also I think Theo Walcott is a striker. He is not a natural winger, he doesn't really know what he's doing unless someone clips the ball over the top and he can have a race with the left-back.
