Walcott Starts at The Reebok
50 comments November 25th, 2006
The teams are in, and the big surprise is that Theo Walcott makes only his second away start in the most hostile of circumstances. One hopes he can survive the crunching challenges that will doubtless come his way at every opportunity.
Bolton: Jaaskelainen, Hunt, Ben Haim, Meite, Fortune, Faye, Nolan, Speed, Diouf, Anelka, Davies. Subs: Al-Habsi, Vaz Te, Tal, Campo, Stelios.
Gunners: Lehmann, Fabregas, Toure, Senderos, Ljungberg, Flamini, Gilberto, Clichy, Adebayor, Eboue, Walcott. Subs: Baptista, Hleb, Djourou, Almunia, Hoyte.
Leaving Hleb out when he’s been arguably our best player of late is a strange one, but I supose we have to trust Arsene. Hopefully Adebayor has an Old Trafford rather than a Fratton Park performance.
