3) Does Walcott have a future at the club?
Not brought on until the 101st minute, Theo Walcott looked an easy choice for inclusion in this game, but was left out in favour of an ineffective Aaron Ramsey playing out of position on the right. For most of the game the Gunners struggled to open up a very defensive Reading side who had everyone back, limiting Wenger’s side’s options in the middle. Walcott would have given the width, pace and variety that the team needed, but it may be that his future at the club really is up if he can’t get the nod in a game against a Championship side until midway through extra time.
