OPINION

You know it’s not your day when even Theo Walcott scores against you. That may seem harsh, but it appeared to be the general consensus between both Manchester United and Everton fans alike during the 4-0 demolition the Toffees put in on Sunday afternoon. The forward came off the bench in place of the injured Richarlison in the second half, much to the indignation of supporters, but did manage to add to the rout, notching his fourth goal of the season. It still wasn’t enough to save him from a bit of pummelling from Everton fans. It may seem daft for a player who had just scored in a 4-0 win, but you can understand why they get frustrated with him. The reality is that he does very little to meaningfully contribute to most matches, and poor Ademola Lookman must be wondering what he has to do to get ahead of him in the pecking order. So many runs end in dead ends, so many efforts are wild and wide. This is not the Walcott who made a name for himself at Arsenal, and he surely can’t go on playing like this if he is to have a long term future at Goodison Park.
