No, Theo was appauling yesterday and terrible today.
Running a bit on the wing, isn't good, his goal was when everyone worked the ball down the left wing, he was left unmarked a fantastic dummy to let the ball run to another dummy and he managed to score, big whup, he was terrible for every other second he was on the pitch.
Was so glad someone said he accidentally set up a goal, he got the ball in miles of space and for the, I dunno, 5th time since start of the second half simply jogged directly into someone, got lucky the ball came back off the defender and tapped it to Nasri. So so many chances in the first half if he had half a brain or a good touch he would have been passed in behind, but almost every time the pass gets trapped under his feet, gets away from him, touch takes it into a defender, he's just crap.
His crossing in both games was abysmal, he gets the ball, runs 15 yards, doesn't look up and blasts it, none went near an Arsenal player, when he passed it into the box he had, about 4 occasions to pick out 2-3 players unmarked and scred each and every chance, he's unbelievably bad.
Wilshire's agression isn't an issue, people get yellow cards, who cares, the penalty was laughable, ok he pulled him down a bit as he went down but it was more obstruction against him, no other ref would ever give that.
Kos has made one of those lunging desparate tackles in both games this weekend and both were missed and should have led to goals against us. Djourou is out of place, Frimpong didn't look even close to as good as he did in his pre this weekend games, Song mark two, out of position, getting drawn to the ball, missing the runs, not checking behind him, some of his passing was agressive and quick getting forward, a few too many times he tried a thread the needle type pass and lost it.
Sagna got a nice goal but otherwise was his usual can't cross without it being blocked self. Eboue looked like he picked up a knock/tweaked a muscle or something, hopefully not a proper injury.
Wilshire, Chamakh, Nasri, Vela, Clichy, Vermaelen and Rosicky looked awesome, great movement, great linking up, all inteligent passers able to both create attacks and read other players intentions.
Theo just doesn't gel in the team in any way at all, he can't pass, cross, read other players intentions, defend, position himself, and he had a lot of chances on goal, lots of attempted chips and long shots and none were close to good. WE have soo soo many better options than Theo, and while he's constantly starting games when fit he seems convinced he's world class. He needs to be sent out on loan, or dropped into the reserves till he puts some effort in.
Have to give it up for Almunia today aswell he was superb, we could very easily have lost that without some great saves he made.
