The pundit Chris Sutton made his feelings clear when he saw Theo get the captains armband. “He hasn’t improved anywhere near enough,” Sutton said on Eir Sport.
“He burst onto the scene at Southampton and I think he’s flattered to deceive for years.
“And, how uninspiring must it be for the Arsenal players seeing him, as captain, leading you?
“He’s not captain material. The 10 other players are far more captain material than him.
“I’m really disappointed with him, he’s a choker, he doesn’t want to show for the ball.”
I have to admit that there were very few players last night that looked like quality, but Wilshere came closest to scoring the winner, and Olivier Giroud had his chances to give Arsenal the lead as did the misfiring Walcott, but there was no leader trying to get the team motivated to fight for the points. Why on Earth did Wenger think Walcott was the right choice???
