A week after Aaron Ramsey suffered a damaged leg in a plea from Stoke"s Ryan Shawcross, Wenger pronounced that opponents panicked by Walcott"s gait have resorted to dangerous tackling, singling out Birmingham City"s Liam Ridgewell for his efforts this season.
"You put yourself in the mind of a player at seventeen years of age who runs 100 metres in eleven seconds: what do people do? He got a small tackles conflicting Ridgewell this year where there was no thought to fool around the ball," Wenger said.
Arsenal 3 Burnley 1 Alan Smith: Arsenal proceed to be at home their muscles Ramsey "overwhelmed by superb support" Shawcross: I won"t shift my character Wenger: Ramsey damage will not finish career Sport on radio"You know each time you will get the round people will only try to stop you at any cost.
"It"s formidable to take when you"re eighteen if you know regularly the thought of the man who comes conflicting you is to stop you, to get your pace. Now he starts to understanding well with that."
Despite being criticised for an null and void opening for England in the week, Wenger insists we are about to see the majority appropriate of Walcott, who scored the second thought in Arsenal"s 3-1 feat conflicting Burnley on Saturday.
Wenger hopes to make make make use of of of him at the Emirates conflicting Porto in the Champions League on Tuesday, where Arsenal are perplexing to overturn a 2-1 necessity conflicting the Portuguese champions.
"I think Theo will be a good player," he said.
"It is a accessible diversion conflicting Egypt let him go to the World Cup and win you a small games and the same people will contend only the opposite.
"I think Theo has the right viewpoint in what people are observant about him.
"He did that really well when he was may be praised as well majority and he will do that again when people verbalise about him similar to that."
Having had Robin outpost Persie (still confident of a mid-April return), Kieran Gibbs and Ramsey all humour bone breaks in challenges, Wenger is understandably indignant with what he feels is a approving perspective to forward challenges.
While it is the fouls that outcome in critical damage that capture the majority attention, however, Wenger is additionally endangered that an additional direction is being authorised to rise to the wreckage of the game: the tactical foul.
What Wenger equates to by this is the evidently teenager tainted committed by a player when his group is at tactical disadvantage, contend outnumbered on a opposite attack.
"Players should be requisitioned for this," he said. "The small fouls in the center of the play ground when you"re on the mangle and you see your group in a diseased on all sides are not punished enough. Because customarily it is only a tainted that breaks your upsurge down but afterwards the man takes the ball, gets afar with it, and gives you it at the back of and what was a 4 conflicting 3 becomes a 10 conflicting 10. It"s not the same thing.
"It is not punished sufficient since at the finish of the day if people compensate the money, are sitting in the stand, we have to give them the majority appropriate probable spectacle. And people who tactically tainted mangle the diversion down.
"It"s not dangerous but it"s violation the diversion down."
Wenger concedes his sides have perpetrated their satisfactory share of these tactical fouls "I infrequently selfishly think, "Well done" " but has turn desirous with the approach in top-level games, it is being practised with impunity.
Against Porto in the initial leg, majority of the courtesy was since to Lukasz Fabianski"s errors and that quickly-taken free-kick debacle.
Wenger, though, was quite unfortunate with the approach Porto fouled Fabregas, players receiving him out on a rotational basement to try to equivocate removing carded.
After what he felt was an "incompetent" arrangement from Martin Hanson in the initial leg, Wenger feels referees need some-more await and is at the back of Michel Platini"s thought for a fifth central as well as video evidence.
"I would make make make use of of of video assistance for the referees since the diversion regularly becomes some-more earthy and quicker.
"I await the move for a fifth arbitrate but to me it doesn"t see to be sufficient assistance and I would make make make use of of of the video at the ask of the arbitrate during the game.
"It would give a small leisure to the arbitrate and a small credit with his decisions."
