He's been absolutely disgustingly good this year. Ribery going to have a tough time getting back in the team if he's ever fit.
Walcott, this is where you can see how he's no where near good enough. Decided too shoot again and again it was basically a pass. This is a striker who has no ability to hit the ball hard, ever. When he shoots from that far, which wasn't that far, it's always basically a pass. He has absolutely no power at all in any aspect of his game.
Early on Neuer ran out to clear the ball and Walcott just jogged towards him with the keeper taking a couple of touches. A Costa, even a Giroud, would go and put a shoulder into him, potentially force a mistake. He wasn't having any of that. A one on one later and that shoulder could make the keeper back away from the ball and give the striker the edge. With Walcott Neuer will rush out knowing Walcott will back down from a challenge. He still plays like a 14yr old boy.
