What’s Hot and What’s Not as England beat Malta at Wembley

NOT – Theo Walcott

This was a real chance for Theo Walcott to stake a claim for a regular spot in the England eleven, given the injuries to Raheem Sterling and Adam Lallana.

But the 27-year-old, who has been in fine form for Arsenal this season, struggled to get into the game, and didn’t have the same influence as fellow attackers Sturridge and Lingard.

He was not the same confident, direct Walcott that has been apparent for Arsenal this season, and it remains to be seen whether Southgate keeps faith with the Gunners man on Tuesday in Slovenia.
