Theo Walcott : This is the Best Attacking Line Up We’ve Ever Had

arsenal
About the Amazing Alexis Sanchez
“You see somebody working so hard and it makes you want to try to back him up,”
“When you see what he does off the pitch, behind the scenes at the training ground, and how much work he puts in, all the players just stand up and think ‘Yeah, I need to a bit more as well then’.“

“It’s about getting that balance right. We told him during the Christmas period to relax a little bit, but he still cracked on with his gym work! He’s that sort of person - nothing will make him tired. It’s healthy to see, because the Premier League is very fast, but he’s coped with it fine.“

“He is amazing because he spots things that a lot of players won’t. I tend to make my runs off the ball and he is always looking for that. He drags more players on to him, which creates more space for other people and I do the same thing.“
“It is a great balance and once I am fully fit, I think it is going to be some force for the Premier League to handle.”

About Attacking Option in Arsenal
“Danny is a workaholic as well - he runs around and really works for the team,”
“There are so many options and Alex [Oxlade-Chamberlain] is also doing very well.“
“Obviously there is me as well coming back, and then you have the likes of Aaron and Jack in midfield. The list goes on, that’s how good we are going forward. It is a headache for the manager when you have that many great attacking options.“

“When I came, it was Pires and Ljungberg, Bergkamp, Thierry and Reyes - that’s some attacking force as well. I think this squad probably does beat it, but we need to prove it first.“
“[When] we go and achieve a little bit more than winning the FA Cup, then I think we can stand up and say this is the best attacking line up we’ve ever had.”

Theo Walcott : About His Injury Recovery

theo walcott

"You need to just come into training with a smile on your face, enjoy it and that’s all you can do." Walcott told Arsenal Player.

"I remember when I had one of my injuries before, I came in down in the dumps and rehab seemed to take so much longer."

"You don’t want that, you want to come in and feel like you’re doing something each day. Even though it might be the same things at the start, you benefit when it comes to the end of it."

"I like to work week by week, so I forget about the big picture and the nine months. Week by week, hitting the goals and when you have achieved that, you can feel good about hitting something else."

"When I was first coming in, it was in the afternoon, which is a good thing because I was on crutches and the physios had to deal with the players that were fit at the time."

"I’d see the players go out and that was quite tough. Then I came in during the mornings and just doing that helped me feel I had a place back in the squad, so that was nice."
