Walcott unsuccessful to stir on his initial general begin for 9 months and was transposed by Shaun Wright-Phillips after 57 mins as England recovered from a idea down to kick Egypt 3-1 at Wembley.

The key of Wright-Phillips helped to pitch the compare in England"s foster as the Manchester City winger scored the second idea and set up the third with a pin-point cranky for Peter Crouch.

"People keep observant he"s immature but Wayne Rooney accepted the diversion at 16, 17," Waddle said. "I"ve never seen any disproportion in Walcott given he was at Southampton and pennyless in to the group at a really immature age.

"I"ve never seen him develop. He only doesn"t assimilate the diversion for me - where to be running, when to run inside a full back, when to only fool around a one-two. It"s all off the cuff.

"I only don"t think he"s got a football brain and he"s going to have problems. Let"s be honest, good defenders would catch him offside each time. I only don"t know either he studies the game, learns the game, or what. He"s at a good bar where they fool around illusory football week-in, week-out, and I"m only astounded he"s never grown his game."

Walcott shot to inflection in Sep 2008, when he scored a noted hat-trick in England"s 4-1 feat over Croatia in Zagreb. However, Waddle described that opening as a blip and believes Adam Johnson should be forward of him in Capello"s thoughts.

"I"m astounded Walcott was in the squad," Waddle said. "He doesn"t fool around a lot of football, he hasn"t finished anything. he hasn"t finished anything for a prolonged time and I think Croatia was a one-off. I only think he"s got a lot to learn. I"ve been some-more tender by Adam Johnson at Manchester City than Theo Walcott."
