Walcott identifies Arsenal weakness in Man City and Everton defeats

Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has named second halves as a major weakness for the Gunners.

In their last two games the north Londoners have lost to Everton and Manchester City despite going a goal ahead, and the England international thinks that an are they need to improve in.

These defeats have left Arsenal nine points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea, and with a difficult task to get back in to the title race.

‘We haven’t started the second halves very well. In previous games leading up now, we have actually played better in the second half and been on the front foot,’ Walcott said.

‘But yesterday we were on the back foot and City dominated.

‘We didn’t create any chances in the second half so are disappointed in that sense but you have got to give credit to City because they played some very good football at times and we found that difficult.’

Arsenal are up against West Brom and Crystal Palace next, both at the Emirates, and Arsene Wenger will surely be expecting his side to bounce back in these fixtures.
