Goal Anxiety Syndrome: Walcott has it
Against Chelsea, Walcott had about 6 shots on goal. 3 clear chances, only one which was saved by Cech, the rest of them were "how in blazes did he miss that" opportunities. This has become a pattern.
Walcott gets caught between responsibilities of goal scoring and supplying. As a winger he is supposed to do the latter but with injuries to Eduardo, Adebayor and RVP and a drought in goalscoring, he has had to step up as a second striker under Wenger's shuffling of positions.
