Watt to take Henry's advice

Sanchez Watt has vowed to put the sound advice of Arsenal legend Thierry Henry to good use by helping fire the young Gunners to Carling Cup glory. The 18-year-old forward was part of a youthful Arsenal XI which saw off the challenge of 10-man West Brom at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, opening his account for the senior team in the second half. London-born Watt has come through the Gunners ranks, learning all he can from the likes of Henry, who left for Barcelona in 2007, as well as current attack-minded players like Robin van Persie and Russian playmaker Andrey Arshavin. After being an integral part of the successful 2008/2009 FA Youth Cup side last season, Watt has set his sights on an extended run in Wenger's young team, which last season reached the Carling Cup quarter-finals. "I was here when Thierry was here, and although I did not get to play with him, I still asked him questions off the pitch when he was free about how it was and stuff like that," said Watt. "Not many people get the chance to ask players like that, so I just took it as a good chance. "I was not nervous because when we were growing up, our manager told us you can ask them questions. Thierry said: `Be calm in front of goal and when the ball is moving, you don't have to keep making long runs. Make it short and sharp and just take it from there'."
