I'm not sure if I agree with his 'improved drastically'. He has definitely improved, and he has an eye for goal now, but he still had plenty of moments during the Blackpool game which made me go "Oh dear god, what are you doing", i.e. not playing in Arshavin who was wide open (or was it Rosicky), and powering a shot clear wide of goal instead. He still has a lot to learn, and if he switches to a striker role, I could see him making marked improvements.

I read that article on gunninghawk, thoughts on some fans clamoring for more Carlos Vela? He played decent for the national team, but I'm apparently in the minority of the unconvinced. I'd actually roll the dice with Walcott more than Vela, although his one-man play at injury time was quite good to watch. Too bad he couldn't get a goal at the end of it for his theatrics.
