"This is when you get desperate towards the end of games and you want to commit loads of bodies forward,' Walcott told Sky Sports, as reported by Metro. You always feel though if a right-back is in this position, I'd be asking questions if I was Gyokeres here and saying look this is my space this is why I'm on the pitch."
"You always feel though if a right-back is in this position, I'd be asking questions if I was Gyokeres here and saying look this is my space this is why I'm on the pitch. But look, he's been doing it all season but he'd be disappointed. Gyokeres would have been calling it no doubt but it just annoys me when players are out of position but I understand why Arsenal committed so many bodies. Gyokeres is too nice sometimes I think."
Arsenal drew 1-1 with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge despite Chelsea playing nearly an hour with ten men after Moises Caicedo was sent off for a reckless challenge on Mikel Merino. The numerical advantage did not yield a winning goal as Arsenal could not capitalise on sustained pressure late in the game. Viktor Gyokeres had a clear chance from a cross while Arsenal attacked, but Jurrien Timber intervened and mishit the opportunity, denying the Sweden international a likely winner. Former Arsenal attacker Theo Walcott criticised Gyokeres for lacking ruthlessness and called him 'too nice'. The draw prevented Arsenal from extending their lead atop the Premier League table.
