Arsenal FC – Theo Walcott Proves Once More He’s the Best This Team Has
Maybe Champions League football brings out something else from Arsenal, who seemed composed, calm and concentrated as they made sure they’ll be in the group stage. Theo Walcott proved, and not for the first time, that he’s the most dangerous player when used correctly, while Aaron Ramsey showed that he’s probably a better player than Jack Wilshere, even if no one likes to mention it.

Arsenal FC – Olivier Giroud Continues to Cofuse
It’s hard putting a finger on what is keeping Olivier Giroud from being a world class striker, but there’s something missing. Even these acrobatic goals and impressive performances in the penalty box from time to time aren’t going to convince anyone he’s the answer to all of the problems Arsenal have been trying to fix over the years.

Arsenal FC – Santi Cazorla Can’t be the Team’s Best Player
Who is the best player on the current Arsenal squad? Santi Cazorla? Theo Walcott? Jack Wilshere? It doesn’t really matter. It doesn’t seem like Arsene Wenger is getting close to signing a big name as the season opener rapidly approaches, so all talk about being title challengers should be regarded as nonsense, no matter who speaks of it.

Arsenal FC – Theo Walcott Heading Towards Another ‘Breakout’ Season
When Arsenal signed Theo Walcott as a 16-year old wonderkid from Southampton, they expected him to be one of the best players in the world by the time these words are being written. However, another summer is almost over, and with it come the expectations of the speedy forward finally fulfilling the promise of his younger days.

Arsenal FC – Laurent Koscielny Proving Again How Important He Is
For two consecutive seasons, Laurent Koscielny has proved to be the difference between Arsenal finishing in the top 4 and making the Champions League, and an end result that would have been disastrous for the club, and probably for Arsene Wenger as well.

Arsenal FC – Lukas Podolski Knows How to Finish Counter Attacks
It’s pretty clear that no matter what, Theo Walcott will not be playing as a striker for Arsenal, but using Lukas Podolski in that position isn’t exactly the greatest of solutions. So how does it still work? Forgetting about possession football that has been a huge part of the gunners’ DNA over the last few years, and simply relying on solid defending and quick counter attacking, which only needs smart and quick decision making on the break instead of players in certain positions.

Arsenal FC – Arsene Wenger Doesn’t Want Theo Walcott as a Striker
Despite being the team’s top scorer, Theo Walcott will continue to play on the flank for Arsenal. Arsene Wenger acknowledges the England forward is a much better finisher than he has been earlier in his career, but sees no reason to move him from his current position.

Arsenal FC – Theo Walcott Strikes Before it Got Really Boring
Boring Arsenal is no longer a chant attached to the team George Graham led to win two Premier League titles over 20 years ago. It’s alive and well, even under the hands of the Arsene Wenger, who’s no longer the magician he used to be. Theo Walcott may have broken the club’s Premier League record for quickest ever goal, but there was nothing too impressive in the 89 minutes that followed.

Arsenal FC – Theo Walcott Should Start Playing as a Striker
Arsene Wenger keeps refusing the talented English forward, but after going through so much this season in terms of trying to find consistent goal scoring, maybe the solution of giving Theo Walcott more opportunities to play in the center of the attack, as a striker instead of a winger on the right, is the best one he has to use.

Arsenal FC – Santi Cazorla Is the Best They Can Do
And it’s not enough. If Santi Cazorla is the best player on a team, which he is for Arsenal, it means something hasn’t been working for Arsene Wenger in both player development and his eye for signings. There’s Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey, but those aren’t players that will lift the team from it’s current stature, into something more than contenders for a Champions League spot.
