    Explain to me how he beats players down the wing. His game is not just move and pass. He beats people by turning and also off an explosive dribble.

    He will pass the ball in the defensive third and make excellent runs through the middle to join in the offensive game. how is that slow?

          Cut out this foolishness about Walcott doesn't defend because its simply not true, he works hard for the team and is tactically disciplined or else he wouldn't be playing regularly.

            well, you want walcott out (he is scoring goals) but don't want to write of balotelli yet (he ISN'T) scoring goals....and both are forwards. go figure..

              Yup you got it! ...that is the set up right there.
              Drop Sterling behind the front 2 - Sturridge & Balotelli!

                Did you see him defend in the last match?

                ...but you did see him fail to challenge for a high ball that was 2 feet to his left...and you did see hill switch off his man...and you did see him trot...slowly trot about 2 steps back after a ball was lost right near to him...and I could go on and on about his defensive efforts!!! The man is consistently missing whenever his TEAM loses the ball!!! We makes...conscious effort...refuse to believe it is anything other than conscious effort...to go missing in defense!!!

                Replay the match!

                  Not fair comparison. What you say is true...but Balotelli is a goal-scorer who has not been getting regular games...and Walcott is also a goal-scorer. All goal-scorers can go off the boil...but if they assist on TEAM defense that does not go away.

                    of course it is not fair because it is an inconvenient truth ....

                      What are you talking about?
                      His ability to win a foot race? ...or the man's speed of thought, good movement and quick feet?

                      I am saying judged by the fastest football players across ground...and compared to the faster footballers across ground at the EPL big TEAMs he is not all that across ground!!!!

                      ...have no cause to question his speed of thought and his current movement - both on attack and defense!

                        No!

                        No, because we are judging the complete player and potential for improvement.

                        Walcott is not trying on defense! Balotelli does!

                        The truth is I earlier wished Balotelli at our GUNNERS! ...with our supporting cast I think he would provide twice the value Walcott has ever provided.

                          Well what is more important? The smart midfielder run into position and don't have to be Walcott on the wing. The smart player read position and don't have to be at top speed most of the game. How many times you see YaYa Toure at Full speed?

                          Saying that he is still faster than many top midfielder in the game. How fast is Gerrard, Carrick, Barry, Fellani, Beckham and I could go on and on.

                            You do realize that each player is unique?
                            The most important thing one can wish for in a player is ability to contribute consistently to his TEAM.

                            Now his ability to so do rest on a combination of skills and mental ability. The question on which of his skills is more important is a 'nonsense question'. Remove one of those his skills and he is no longer the player he is.

                            ...and so is improvement in any one of his skills!!! In this latter case, he becomes a better player!!!
