Arsenal winger Walcott pleased with Guardiola praise

Arsenal winger Theo Walcott is happy to hear praise coming his way.

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola admitted the only way to stop the England star is to keep the ball away from him.

Walcott, who revealed he can run 100 metres in 10.3 sec, said: "It's nice people are saying good things, I've just got to show it on the pitch.

"There are big players missing but we've got to come here and do a job. That's all we can do.

"If we can keep it at 0-0 and get that early goal maybe it can keep the fans quiet."
