Why All The Backlash on Theo Walcott

Just after being called back into the English squad Arsenal's Theo Walcott is once again being slated for his performance in England's barren draw against Slovenia

The Sun

Ex-Chelsea and Celtic star Chris Sutton has suggested that the 27-year-old might not be as good as many think.

“All the fuss about Theo Walcott this season — I don’t get it,” Sutton told the Daily Mail.

People are saying he is a changed player. He is neither clever nor creative and he was completely ineffective once again for England.

The Arsenal man has no guile and didn’t link up at all or put any decent crosses in all night. His pass appreciation is desperately poor and his defensive clearance just after half-time summed his night up.

According to Sutton, Waloctt, who was back with the national team after a long absence, should be withdrawn from England’s starting eleven in the future.

Everyone has credited Gareth Southgate for having the courage to drop Wayne Rooney, but he needs to learn fast and leave Walcott out.” 

But my honest take on this is that people shouldn't be quick to criticism all the time. The lad is just coming back into the team, i am certain that he is going to prove is mettle and is critics wrong.
