Wenger: 'Theo is more electric than he has been'

Post Blackpool stuff from Arsene, mainly about Theo... "Theo is more electric than he has been. He mixed well the final ball and the finishing, which is a sign a player is more mature. Let's not forget what he does is always at a very high pace, so it is not easy to make the right decision, but today, he did.""Theo is 21, so now he is at an age where players usual start, you cannot say he is at the peak of his game. There is a lot to come from him - first, he has to keep his attitude right and also to be injury free, because that decides careers as well.""Theo is a guy who keeps his feet on the ground, and takes life in a positive way - he sees always the glass is half full, and not half empty. He took the World Cup as another challenge, and that is what is amazing about Theo."And on Evatt's dismissal... "From where I was on the bench I thought it was outside the area. The referee has no choice unfortunately because it was not a malicious foul, but denying a goalscoring opportunity is clear. I feel many times a yellow card would be enough.""When they had 11 on the pitch Blackpool looked like they could create and tried to play in a positive way. We have matured because when we were 3-0 up at half-time we didn't become sloppy - we kept playing the way we wanted to play and overall it became a comfortable win."
