There is one think that frustrates me more than Theo’s sometimes blind running, and thats his decision making. Van Persie has torn into him on at least two occasions because of his poor decision making, thats whats holding him back at the moment.

My take on it is that he thinks too much, he muddles himself up and therefore makes a decision in a split second whilst he is also thinking about the other options, he is maybe trying to be a bit too clever and also lacks a tiny bit of self belief that makes you world class.

I feel he is a game away from really kicking on, maybe a brace against a top 6 club will make him think that he can really be one of the best players at the club because he is universally thought of as our best young player (bar Cesc).

I would really like to see Theo go to the next level, like Ashley Young has done and like Lennon hasn’t. Walcott could be something this country has not really seen before and if he can go one step further than the majority of English youngsters he will be a very very special player.

Later, i will add my Spudling rant.
