Super talented player far more than a pace merchant. He had tremendous balance, touch was great, good vision, flair and creativity. His finishing curling from left to right when he passed it in was as good as I’ve seen. Strong and could mix it with big defenders when in the mood. Wonderful dribbling and close control especially for a guy his size.

You don’t top score in two title winning teams without being a great striker. Henry alongside Alan Smith are only Arsenal players to do this.

Henry is not without weakness. He was a giant homer scoring 66% of his goals at Highbury. Massively underwhelmed in knockout champions league games scoring 6 in 18, flooped in cup finals 0 in 10. His record away against man utd, Chelsea, spurs and Liverpool is abysmal compared to his home record 6 vs ~26. Won the golden boot in 05/06 scoring seven of twenty eight away from home. Henry was an poor leader and captain his team without Vieira 05/06 lost nine games away more then they lost with Vieira over the previous four seasons! His attitude away from home was often poor almost Mesut Ozil esq as he barely broke a sweat or had convenient injuries to miss tough trips before a Lazarus recovery for a home game. He was capable of working his nuts off as shown in Europe that as he ran himself ragged as lone striker what a disgrace he didn’t show the same effort away at Blackburn that he did at Madrid. We match going fans deserved better than seeing a preening pouting lazy turd we got in far too many domestic aways towards the end.
