Manager Arsène Wenger has completed a day of praises by singling out striker Theo Walcott, saying that the former Southampton youth is 'incomparable from a year before'.
Wenger said: "Compared to one year ago there is no comparison.
"That is what people have problems to accept because at that age every three months you improve.
"You can never predict how much he will improve but there is still a lot more to come from Theo.
"He had a good start [against Blackburn] and he became stronger and stronger.
"He gives us something which is important as well when we play at home when he goes behind the defenders. He creates room and has a direct game. We need that.
"I don't know [how big a player he will be in the rest of the season] but it's important to have him back because he gives you something that can make a difference in any game."
