Agree about Walcott, James. Looked sharp.
Also, has anyone else noticed that thing on top of Walcott’s head? What is it, exactly? Looks like it might have once belonged to Chamakh?
He’s been rescued from an oil spill.
Yes! I can’t recall when was the last time I saw Walcott with a changed hairstyle
Theo Walcott is wearing a hair toupe given by Drogba-dator.
Kolasinac looks solid. I don’t want to get excited about Walcott again. He shows these flashes but keeps fading away.
Trying not to get excited… but I can’t help it. It’s a great squad. On paper there are few better in Europe.
The signings off and on the pitch suggest a stronger mentality also. Bring it on.
Um. No.
Um…why not?
Kolasinac is a beast, Nelson wow!
Nelson what a telent super wow!!!
Re Walcott:
1. Yaya Sanogo scored 4 against Benfica in Emirates Cup 2 years ago.
2. Even then, this was a good performance by Walcott standards. That surely means his contract negotiations are underway.
Agree with everything James, lots of positive to take from this friendly. On the negatives, all I can say is we will probably never see that back 3 again in a competitive fixture so not a big deal
