Theo Walcott did not start for Everton against West Ham United, and some fans of the Merseyside outfit on Twitter seem happy that manager Marco Silva decided to keep the former Arsenal man on the substitutes’ bench for most of the Premier League game at the London Stadium.

Walcott came on as a substitute for Richarlison in the 90th minute, as Everton got the better of West Ham 2-0 away from home in London on Saturday evening.

The 30-year-old, who can operate as a winger or as a forward, seems to have lost his place in the Everton starting lineup after struggling to make an impact this season when he was starting games regularly.

The former Southampton man has started 23 games and made eight substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Toffees so far this season, scoring three goals and providing two assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

Some Everton fans on Twitter are pleased that Walcott is not starting and have criticised the England international.

Below are some of the best comments:
