Theo Walcott told Goals on Sunday that Arsenal have curbed some of their attacking instincts this season and focussed on keeping things tight at the back.
Walcott also discussed many other subjects in the Goals on Sunday studio when he dropped by for a chat with Ben Shephard and Chris Kamara, including:
INJURY NEWS
THEO SAYS: It was difficult to take the news at the start and it hit me quite hard but I couldn't do anything other than get on with it because life's too short, and the knee is coming along really well now. It is a long, tedious, six-nine month treatment that I've got to come through but I'm three months in now and taking it week by week because I don't like putting monthly targets on it. I am, though, hopeful of being involved in pre-season and as I am still young, I know my time will come in a World Cup.
HIS MOVE TO ARSENAL
THEO SAYS: I knew Arsene Wenger developed young talents and gave them opportunities to show what they can do, and while I didn't really play for the first seven months, I got great experience learning from people like Sol Campbell - who put me up in the air in my first training session and said 'Welcome to Arsenal - and Dennis Bergkamp. But Thierry [Henry] was my idol and he looked after me, showed me support, worked with me in training on finishing and I will never forget that.
MAN UNITED
THEO SAYS: The way they won the league last year was unreal but they have been hot and cold this year with lots of changes taking place. It is going to be a slow process and take time for everyone to get used to David Moyes' tactics so I think everyone is going to have to be patient, but they are getting better, Juan Mata is a great signing, and I think you will see the real Man United next year when they get a bit more time in the transfer market, as I think it was all a bit rushed last summer.
