Theo is still developing, but really surging on now. If he keeps coming on as a sub and turning games around, then we as supporters should be very happy.
One thing I did notice was how little MOTD did on the match, and also very little comments other than to big up Liverpool for next weeks game.....
I agree, Rosicky is one of our most creative players and when he's not on the pitch we are sometimes short of ideas, even with Hleb and Cesc.
He's a great player and I'd love to see him stay injury free for 20 games or so!
I saw the interview with Theo on ATVO, he said that the first time he ran into the box and squared the ball no-one was there so he asked Rosicky to make sure he was there next time.
As you saw, he stuck to his word.
These little comments are interesting because you can see some chemistry developing there. Hopefully from now on all the attacking players will remember to get into a similar position whenever Walcott runs into the box from that side.
With regard to MOTD, they did do a brief special on Walcott which surprised me. Shearer heaped praise on him whilst they showed some examples of his pace and dribbling skills.
More Arsenal time than I was expecting to be honest.
