“He does what he does,” Ian Wright told BBC’s Match of the Day.
“It’s his demeanour that upsets people, because he throws his arms up when he loses the ball.
“When he gets into good positions like last night and the way he picked out Walcott through a crowd of players, that’s what he does.
“It’s unfortunate for him because of his languid style, he gets a lot of stick.
“I feel for him, but I’d still play him because as a forward, I would want him behind me, let him play through all the rubbish.”
Arsenal will be looking to record back-to-back wins when they take on Crystal Palace. The Eagles have won four of their last five league clashes.
