Theo Walcott believes Arsenal transform in the presence of Robin Van Persie – Premier League Update
Arsenal winger and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 steps onto the pitch.
The winger went on to make these comments in reference to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429’s landmark win over their London rivals Chelsea, as the Gunners beat the Blues with the final score reading five goals to three in favour of the North London club.
Walcott went on to state that Van Persie really helps Arsenal get their act together, but he didn’t go as far as to state that the team was heavily reliant on just one player.
"[His scoring record] just shows how important he is to this team," Walcott told the club's official website.
"He's had so many injuries and it shows that when we have a fit Robin throughout the season we are a totally different team.”
"It's not a one-man show but Robin gives us that extra dimension, one that we never quite had before. We're happy and hopefully he'll stay fit and keep banging in the goals."
The winger then went on to talk about his goal, which caught almost everyone off-gaurd.
"I don't know what happened," he explained. "Maybe because I'm small I managed to get past.
The winger then joked about the fact that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aaron-Ramsey-c3065 went on to claim that he would have killed Walcott if he hadn’t scored the goal, since the midfielder was wide open in the middle of the D.
"Maybe they thought it was a free kick because I lost my balance but I just managed to sneak around both defenders. Aaron [Ramsey] said he would have killed me if I hadn't scored because he was wide open in the centre!”
This wing over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 has gone ahead and silenced nearly every single critic that went on to label the Gunners to be a team who were on their way down.
The team now needs to continue performing at the level that they have maintained, in order to try and get back into the top four and then potentially try and push for a title or two.
