Walcott also tends to disappear when it matters

However, because of cap and contract issues, Gilroy is the odd man out. Regardless of the contract issues (in terms of who has a one-way or two-way contract), Tortorella is holding the wrong player accountable. Gilroy probably will benefit from his time down in Hartford and will be back at the NHL level before you know it, but what about the play of Michal Rozsival, Wade Redden and even Dan Girardi How many times have we seen Rozsival get beat by the opposition and fail to get back into position, or even lose the puck at either end of the ice Where has the accountability been for the Rangers forwards I’m not suggesting Tortorella send a player down to Hartford, but how about a nice benching for the inconsistent and poor play of Ales Kotalik, Chris Drury, Sean Avery or even Ryan Callahan How about making a statement with Donald Brashear and Brian Boyle, who both lack a physical game and have not been remotely impressive Tortorella needs to start holding not only his rookies accountable, but his veteran players accountable as well. The Rangers need to put forth more of an effort because getting just one shot on goal in the third period is not only an embarrassment, but a disgrace as well.. Last night, I had the pleasure of watching Arsenal's youngster's take on Olympiakos and lose 1-0. Wenger should have been mainly pleased with his team's performance, considering that the only real regular faces were those of Song and Walcott.I was particularly impressed with Aaron Ramsey and Fran Merida, who, between them, look like real superstars in the making. They showed great passing ability and range, barely giving possession away and threading slick through balls past the Greeks' defence on several occasions.Alas, Arsenal's forwards, arguably more famous, were far less impressive.

Vela was guilty of missing at least two good chances when played in by the aforementioned wonderkids, but since he is generally acknowledged to be a player-in-the-making, Wenger shouldn't hit the panic button yet.Walcott, however, has no excuse. Twice last night he was put clean through, but his awful first touch came to the fore both times as he allowed lumbering Olof Mellberg to catch up from way behind before he could control the ball.Another passage of play which shocked me involved a burst of Theo's pace down the left after a good pass from Merida, only for him to get caught in two minds with three good options available both in and around the box.The result was an aimless miskick. After these poor moments, which all came in a ten minute spell in the first half, Walcott was literally marked out of the game by Mellberg. Last night's performance was a showcase of why Walcott simply is not good enough to become England's number one winger.Based on technical ability, I'd take Lennon and Wright-Phillips over him any dayand both of those players are much faster than your average, too. He can't be justified on work merits while James Milner continues to breathe.Hell, I'd take Beckham over Walcottno one can deliver a pass or cross like Golden Balls himself.And all those above players (maybe not Beckham) are performing masterclasses week in, week out to justify their place.

Walcott has spent the best part of a year (!) on the operating table and after a mild collision last night he was rolling around in agony yet again.Why on earth Capello would take someone so injury prone and lightweight to a World Cup, when England are in a group with physical teams like the USA, is simply beyond me.Walcott also tends to disappear when it matters. He may be all fine and dandy against paceless, out of form teams (i.e Croatia last year) but he simply vanishes when the pressure gets too muchPatrice Evra and Ashley Cole had a great laugh last season when Walcott was deployed against them.This was another deficiency demonstrated last nightafter the tiny moments of danger he posed in the first half, he literally vanished off the pitch after Arsenal went one down.So, altogether, Mr Capello, please tell Theo to stay at home next summer. He is technically poor, mentally poor, and far too injury prone to challenge the likes of Lennon and Milner, who have become integral to their clubs.. With the advent of MySpace, Facebook, and now Twitter, fans are now given access to their favorite, athletes and entertainers personal lives.It is mind-blowing how big these social networks have blown up over the past few years.Looking at it from a mixed martial arts standpoint, these networks connect us with our favorite fighters at all times.It also allows for media outlets to report on major announcements at a moments notice.To think, I could know what Frank Trigg plans on having for lunch, just by looking at my cell phone.The question I ask, is when does it become annoying When does it cross over the line, into the realm of too much informationI actively use Facebook, Twitter, and Digg to promote my work. On my best days, I may write two stories.With that being said, anyone who follows me would only receive on average, one or two "tweets" a day.I actually enjoy many of the posts that fighters such as Jason "Mayhem" Miller, Shane Carwin, and Joe Lauzon put out.They are usually informative, interesting, and funny, for the most part they release information pertaining to their careers.Now Trigg, on the other hand, feels it is necessary to let us know what he is eating, what he plans on wearing, and where he is going, at all times.His most recent "Tweet" was about an acne medication that he had purchased for his son! I don't know about you, but I don't find this to be relevant to his MMA career.I know when I signed up to follow him, I didn't expect to be bombarded with messages about acne ointment or his choice of dressing on his salad.Trigg isn't the only one; Nate Marquardt is a great fighter, and by all accounts, he seems like a great guy.I just don't need to see pictures of the horsemeat he is about to purchase and consume!!When reading posts like these, I ask myself, are we at fault Are the fans that thirsty for information about their favorite fighters, do the combatants themselves feel compelled to let us in on their every moveI understand they are going to hawk their sponsors products, I have no problems with that.
