Arsenal edged the MLS All-Stars 2-1 in the first friendly of their pre-season tour of America. However, their veteran winger Theo Walcott was heavily criticised following an abject display.
27-year-old English winger Theo Walcott has now been with Arsenal for over a decade. However, he has failed to consistently make a significant contribution to the first team — particularly over the course of the past season.
His recent performance in the Gunners’ game against the MLS All-Stars provoked a Twitter meltdown from Arsenal fans. Several pointed out how short on confidence the Englishman looks, while others noted that Riyad Mahrez, who has been linked with Arsenal in recent days, would be a big upgrade on the former Southampton man.

Mahrez with 1 leg would be an upgrade on Walcott

Seeing Walcott like this is difficult to watch man. So, so bad. He looks petrified.

Sorry to say, but sometimes Theo Walcott can be the definition of a disappointment.

I stayed up till 3am to watch Theo Walcott play like a watered down version of Carlos Vela. Can’t believe it.
