I don't want to be too harsh on any players.

[Peter]

Exactly. That's why I like him.

If it comes good for him, it'll come really good. He's scored great distance shots for us and England this season, and he can hit a corner pretty much like B and Dec. He can skin players. In short he has the ingredients.

He's not young, or raw. He's 24. He's played 200 senior games. Yet after 40 games for us he still has to be shown who his man is when we drop to low block.

Walcott had the x factor. He could finish, he had amazing balance. He also had the same problem as Madueke- as good as his touch was, it wasnt good enough to cope with his speed.

An x factor is not enough. And there is literally nothing that he does that is unmatched in our squad apart from the frequency with which he runs the ball straight out of play.

But, as I say. I really, really want to be wrong.

Respectfully; I disagree. Walcott could run fast and finish. Madueke has that but also had superb technical dribbling skills and ball striking skills.

He literally has all of the raw ingredients you?d want in a winger. Just as Sane did.

Let Arteta see what he can do with him. Could be special.

OK. Well, I dont see Arteta giving up on him so I'll give him another chance next season.

But of course, he has a ceiling at Arsenal. Unless you think he is going to reach a level where he can actually compete with Saka.

Noni delivers a wonderfully spiteful corner and does it consistently. I predict he will score from a corner very soon. Even Declan (peace be upon him ) has been lofting his corners over and past the area lately.

Right, having criticised Rice I'm off for the day before that big lummox WES comes gallumphing along at starts bellowing like a demented moose.

We have changed our corner routines significantly. Not really sure why.

I thought he'd scored from a corner already?

That Easy goal vs the Geordies was sublime.

Can't remember which player it was but one of them said that Easy's the best at scoring from the edge of the box so it's about giving the ball to him in those areas.

We're starting to see the best of Easy and Vik now, which is perfect timing.

[Peter]

I thought he'd scored from a corner already?

Yes, i think that one was eventually given to him. I think it went in off the keeper but was going in before the keeper touched it.

Yup. Btw, was just looking at the NUFC highlights from 2-3 weeks ago where Easy scored from the short corner routine and GabbyGol had an overhead kick saved.

Has any Arsenal player ever scored an overhead kick? I mean a classic one, not Olly G's mindbending scorpion kick.

I remember Tony Woodcock scoring a horizontal scissors kick. We'd just got our first VHS and it had frame advance when it was paused. I'd recorded MotD and watch that goal frame by frame myriad times. But I can't remember an overhead kick.

I can't recall. I'm sure someone has.
