Because, Walters is the new Cresswell, Delap & Sidibie - forced on at every available opportunity until there is enough fan reaction! Playing Walters non stop is a contridiction in itself. When we bought him he was a wide right player yet TP played upfront! He has forced him into every game and he has played over some much better strikers. His stats are awful at best, his league form is 1 goal in every 6 games played and all competitions since he joined in 2010 he is averaging 0.16 GOALS PER GAME! Please take into account that he is our designated penalty taker aswell so these figures are vastly inflated! So TP sets his stall out and provided competition for the 2 excellent wingers we already have (JP & ME). In turn he plays Kightky over both, drops one to the bench and drops the best one for ball delivery and width play out of the squad! Why I hear you all ask...... so he can shoe horn Walters into any starting line up and formation he plays! So the contridiction continues, he is no longer an out and out forward, he is now a wide player (which we all new) yet we have 3 better wide playes already in the squad! He is out paced, out skilled and they all have a better first touch. Its a good job Geoff Cameron is doing a great job or TP would be saying that Walters makes and excellent attacking RB! Good point though as you say!
I think it must be down to the fact that "that man" thinks Walters will track back and work ARDerer than the two mentioned, I don't profess to know what goes aroung in "that man's" head but he seems to have a morbid terror of being caught with players out of position on the pitch.
So the new theory is he is actually a holding midfielder playing in a fowards position. - that's we were the lowest scorers across Europe!
