Theo Walcott has got a new role and a new lease of life under Ruben Selles, who is making us question beliefs we’ve struggled to shake for close to two decades.
as the wise old sage makes for uncomfortable billing. The child who watched from the bench at the World Cup in 2006 has had a career of striving to reach potential forced upon him that was beyond his capability. Early kudos has weighed heavily, not necessarily on him, but in the minds of the majority of those watching his progress, who were hoodwinked into expecting more.
We won’t have been alone in thinking Walcott’s Premier League career was over. He featured for 378 minutes last term and made just three appearances this season before the turn of the year. But he’s played in all six of Ruben Selles’ games in charge, starting three of them, and scored and assisted in the 3-3 draw against Tottenham last time out.
“Secondly, he also brings the expertise of the number 10 position that we’re using,” Selles added. “So, he’s a player who knows how to press in that system, knows the triggers, the shadows, knows how to [make it] count from the front, knows also in possession, where he’s the best.”
