Praise for Walcott

Team mates Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Touré have heaped praise on young Theo Walcott, after the youngster put in an admirable performance against Liverpool.

Walcott was directly involved in the the build-up to the second away goal that would have seen the Gunners progress to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Adebayor said: "For a few months now Theo has been on fire. Theo is very quick and is playing some good football.

"Playing up front alongside him is brilliant."

Touré added: "Theo is a good player and is improving every time.

"I think Theo is going to be one of the best players in England."

i think i see a faster henry, wenger should balance this improvement with signing of matias delgado, ben arfa and diogo. and see what a wonderful strike force he will produce next season. i think he has the money its time to make up for the break ups. i know Wenger still as something in mind for the fans and he knows we love him and hope he finishes at arsenal. i think now is the time to redeem ourselves and bring hopes back to live.

Why is this kid on the bench. He could be the next Henry and Arsene is burying him on the bench. If he had chosen United, he would probably be putting RONALDO on the Bench. Not even Ronaldo can do what THEO did on Tuesday. Too bad Ref took the spot-light away from him.

That is if wenger allows him the chance to show his potentials. i really wonder what he had to do to win a first team shirt.

Theo's run that culminated into Ade's goal has got us gooners bleeding in the heart. how can such a move not get us into a Cl semi? The Ref is a shame to his mother!

Yer!!! Theo has been on fire and was absolutely amazing against Liverpool. I can't understand why we didn't get the ball out to him even more. i think that was his only run!!!

Even Liverpool and Man Utd fans have said that it was an amazing run and they wud love to have him!!!

yes, he showed briliant performance. what we need now is to get good attacking midfielders to assist him during the next season.

He has more than earned a regular spot. Notice it was a central run so perhaps now is the time to give him a more central role (just as the Prof did with Henry's development).

Should always come ahead of Eboue. Eboue does think of what to do next. He just runs with the ball and passes when he should shoot and shoots when he should pass it. A bench is the immediate solution for him.

I have come to like TW because he is doing fantastic things for his age. why should AW tie himself on EE when TW is doing wonders? Eboue has become a nightmare because he does not use his head in most of his decisions. Bench him for a while may be he can improve.
