Is Walcott’s goal drought a serious concern for Arsenal?

What’s happened to Walcott? by Ash Theo Walcott cried out to become Arsenal’s highest earner last season because not only did he feel he should be paid on par with the rest of the regular England international players but he also felt his importance to the team was a vital aspect of our success. Many will disagree and I certainly do in saying that Walcott is vital to our success, but never the less he is now one of the more experienced players in the side and ultimately when he is on form he is definitely worth the £100k a week that he now earns. That’s the problem though, he is rarely on form and right now we are seeing a Walcott that once again is failing to score a goal. In fact, despite scoring 21 goals for the Gunners last season, Walcott has failed to score in all of Arsenal’s games this season, just showing how much of a bad run of form he is in. Not only that but his assists are also drying up, leaving his place on the team a factor to be questioned. Walcott doesn’t offer much in reality. He can have a good shot on him and pick up a few goals, but ultimately all he revolves around is his pace and I don’t know if anyone would agree but I even think he’s starting to lose that. I don’t know if it’s because he is getting older (although of course 24 is still young) or maybe he has bulked up in the sense that he can be more physical in the game but whatever the reason is, I have noticed that he seems considerably slower that he was and therefore perhaps that’s the main fault behind his game. Beforehand the only reason why he was scoring was because he could get a break away from the defenders and then coolly finish, however if he doesn’t even have the pace or physicality to get past the players then what hope does he have now? Yesterday was a key example, because Mesut Ozil played several fanatic balls to Walcott which in previous years he would have rounded off as a goal, but on both main occasions he failed to show any real strike of the ball and the keeper saved both attempts. The cross from Wilshere was different because although many would score that Walcott isn’t really known as a great header of the ball and so I exempt his mistake there but he cannot be let off for those other two chances. Sure, everyone has a bad game once in a while, however with Walcott it’s more likely to be a bad season, and every season too. Once the Ox comes back I think it’s time for a review on Walcott but I can be certain in saying, I think Wenger will have doubts about benching someone who is on £100k a week! What are your thoughts on Theo, Gooners?
