Everton supporters have been pretty satisfied in recent times after seeing their side pick up a credible draw in the Premier League at the weekend.

Marco Silva’s men went into their clash with unbeaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge having beaten Brighton in their preceding league encounter, and thus full of confidence ahead of their trip to the capital. And the Toffees came away from West London with a hard-earned point following a 0-0 draw with Maurizio Sarri’s Blues, a result which kept the Merseysiders ninth in the Premier League table.

Thus, there have been many satisfied Evertonians up and down the country in recent times, although many took to Twitter prior to the game to slate Silva’s decision to keep faith with Theo Walcott, what with the Englishman not enjoying a particularly great run of form.

And after another testing afternoon against Chelsea on Sunday, those Everton fans are so right to suggest that the £110,000-a-week ace (as per Spotrac) seriously needs to up his game, and fast.

Ultimately, the 29-year-old made the move to Goodison Park back in January of this year after seeing things go stale at Arsenal, what with the England international mustering just six Premier League appearances for the Gunners in the first half of last season.

Yet the winger sought to get his career going again by moving to Everton, and it looked like a very good decision from Walcott given he scored three and laid on three assists in 14 league appearances last term, thus helping Sam Allardyce’s side move away from Premier League danger to the dizzy heights of eighth place.

And he even started this term well under Silva with two goals and an assist in his opening three matches, yet things have gone downhill fast for the ex-Arsenal star given he has since failed to net in the Premier League for the Toffees, nine games on from his goal in their 2-2 draw at Bournemouth.

And with just one assist to his name in that time, Walcott is clearly struggling for form in the final third of the pitch, with the winger perhaps getting away with it somewhat given the fine run of form the Toffees are on, having lost just one of their last six league games.

Nonetheless, with Richarlison leading the line brilliantly and Bernard slowly but surely getting to grips with English football, the 29-year-old is going to come under-threat for his place in the starting eleven – Ademola Lookman and Dominic Calvert-Lewin were both on the bench on Sunday to suggest that they are firmly in Silva’s thinking.

At the moment though, the ball does appear to be in Walcott’s court, and if the Englishman can rediscover his early season form, he’ll surely retain his place in the starting line-up.

But given his struggles in recent times, as evidenced by the frustration among some Everton fans, he needs to up his game quickly to remain a feature in Silva’s starting eleven.

Everton fans… what do you think? Let us know!
