Quote:
Walcott's remit in the 15-minute workout was simple: Get the ball in, unopposed, for the Spurs hitman to finish.
Yet barndoor and beachball sprung to mind as the young Gunner failed time and again to tee up his team-mate.
Balls flew over 6ft 7in Crouch's head, he had to check his run as the cross was too low or behind him. He even resorted to catching and throwing the ball back for Walcott to try again.
Things did not improve 24 hours later as Walcott and fellow hopeful Adam Johnson pinged 25-yard passes across the pitch to each other.
No frills - simply pass, control and drill it back.
Yet while Johnson was near foot-perfect, Walcott's touch was woeful, as balls invariably drifted yards away from him.
