Arsenal FC News: Long-Term Absence Gives Theo Walcott Gains New Perspective To The Game

If there's one thing that is positive about Theo Walcott's knee injury sustained last January, it gave him a new perspective on how to approach games.

The speedy England international witnessed how the crowd would react based on a player's performance on the pitch, and while not going into details, he vowed to pick some of the noted positives and apply it while he's being deployed.

"I'm the sort of person that likes to get involved in everything," Walcott told Arsenal.com.

"I'm quite chilled at times but if it's getting tense [watching a match] I get quite nervous because I know how hard the guys work throughout the week."

"It's good because you get to see a different side of it. Not just that, you see the people around you and the buzz they get from anything that a player does and you think, 'OK, I'll remember that for next time'."

"It looks so much easier when you're watching it, so I really feel for the guys when I'm there having a go and saying, 'You should have done this'. But when you're down on the pitch everything happens instantly."
