Alexis Sanchez can not be allowed to be free at any time.
West Ham's loss to Arsenal is their fifth in a row in the league, which Slaven Bilic reiterates they must halt immediately. While an injury midway through the year cooled many's recognition of his success, which came in a relentless fashion early in the year, Walcott has since recovered his match sharpness, now scoring in his last two league games.
Arsene Wenger's men are seven points behind fourth-placed Manchester City in the race to secure a place in next season's Champions League competition.
He added: "Goals always breed confidence in players but Mesut is a fantastic player".
"Ones who straight away in a fraction of seconds can understand where he has to go to get the ball and these kind of players".
The Gunners had only won one and drawn another in their past six Premier League games, to leave their hopes of Champions League qualification - having reached the last 17 tournaments - in real jeopardy.

"They deserved to win the game".
Arsenal had failed to assert itself in the first period as West Ham threatened through a Manuel Lanzini free kick before Mark Noble drove narrowly wide after stealing possession. "They are not do-or-die situations but we don't want to come into a do-or-die situation". The French striker, who replaced Danny Welbeck, has scored more Premier League goals as a substitute than anyone else this season - five. He missed one game against Hull, it was not that his hamstring was not okay, but that he started to feel ill in the hotel around lunchtime.
Bilic won't lose his job over this game, but a point here will make the Swansea match a better shot.
"But they scored the second one, after that it's very risky to play against them, because they let you create". Okay, we are at home and they have improved, but they are five points behind us and there is a reason for that. "Overall I think they have done it before in more hard conditions, but we have to try to do it again, yes".
As Arsenal welcome West Ham to the Emirates, it may end up being a more hostile environment for the Gunners than their visiting London foes. But we need that win.
