Under appreciated by young fans?(under 20 or so)
I’ve noticed some young (Ronaldo) fans who call Henry a “Pace Merchant” or that he only had pace and was a average striker etc… usually between the ages of 10-13/14
Is Thierry Henry becoming under rated recently? Or is this just noise from CR7 or Tottenham Fanboys.
Man is overrated because people talking about his 20/20 season. Yah king slay 20 goals 20 assists. Look at what happened away from home that season. Arsenal failed to win away to spurs, Chelsea, Newcastle, Bolton, Everton, Man U and Liverpool. Them grounds were kryptonite for Henry throughout his career. He scored seven away against them teams in eight seasons at Arsenal. His failure in 02/03 when he scored against Newcastle away only clearly hampered Arsenal’s title defense.
He scored two goals away to top half sides that season city in 9th and Newcastle 3rd. Arsenal dropped points away to Chelsea, utd,Liverpool, Newcastle, Southampton, Everton and Spurs. They only beat City away out of the top half sides! Henry’s greatest ever season saw his side lose the league away from home and in his greatest ever season he simply didn’t perform.
Look at his 01/02 season for a vanishing act what a bad man before Christmas but second half of the season he went missing scoring in five of the last twenty five league and cup games
