Just how poor was Walcott?

[Alf_Tupper]

An England international, allegedly who earns £100,000 a week - £5,000,000 a year! Did absolutely nothing, didn't look interested and certainly didn't put in much effort - disgraceful. Imagine  this board if that had been Berba or Ruiz.

He was too busy trying to climb out of Richardson's pocket. He put one or two nice balls in the box from set-pieces, though.

I didn't realise he was playing till the second half when he was playing in front of me..... Very poor

He's like the british weather - hot and cold.

[domprague]

Well he was the opposite of the weather on Saturday.

Over-rated, over paid. Decent player but will never go down as one of thr greats in my mind.

However....recently read his stats are better than Bale this season. Go figure.

[cottage cheese]

erm just how amazing was richardson at stopping walcott?? This is such a MOTD commment...never about the fact Walcott was not allowed to play

[CurryForMario]

Fair play to Richardson, he was great on Saturday. Should definitely keep his place.

[domprague]

Agree.

Fair play to Richardson, he was great on Saturday. Should definitely keep his place.

I hope that all the rumours that Richardson left Sunderland because he did not want to play left back are wrong.

Playing like he did sat . He could be our left back for the next 4-5 years.
