The Spoiler

Why didn’t Theo Walcott start against Liverpool?


Young England star deserved a greater role last night

In the all-English Champions League tie, just two English players started the game (Carragher and Gerard). When Theo Walcott came on in the second half, the game completely changed, and the Arsenal fans’ attitude towards Eboue was somewhat vitriolic throughout.

I know it’s a sin to question Arsene Wenger’s gigantic brain, but why isn’t Theo being given a better chance? What chance does he have to become an integral part of the England team if he only plays the role of a ’super sub’ in his domestic side?
