Arsene Wenger spent some time telling the assembled media how good
Theo Walcott is after the game tonight - We knew that already
though of course.
He said...
"Theo had a good first half. He can be decisive. He's very direct,
quick, is a good crosser and finishes well. He's improving his link
play and is more aggressive. When he uses all the assets he has he
will be dangerous for everybody.
"Once he plays through the middle he will make good runs and get
behind defenders. Close to the line you need better technique and
his greatest quality will be the runs he makes behind
defenders.
"In the future he'll be used more as a central striker. He can make
a difference for England because there are not many strikers in
this country who have his qualities or pace.
"If a defender is one yard behind him Theo will never get caught.
He makes good runs along the line of the defence and he will be
able to use that more when he plays through the middle.
"But it's good for him to learn the job on the flanks. All the
young players can show their top quality in the Champions
League."
"This team has already been in the Champions League final. Lets get
through the group stages and then we'll see how far they can go
this time round."
