Oh yeah, I'd forgotten how useful he will be at freekicks. As much as I love RVP, I'd much rather have Thierry taking them!!
The true measure of class is just how easy they make it look . 100 per cent natural , class , talent. A class above every other player on the pitch last night bar none .
how ott,i'm not saying Henry is Rubbish because he clearly is'nt,but he scored against a championship side!.The thing is can he still do so well against EPL sides,if he does then celebrate
Is that the same championship side that knocked Man United out of the FA Cup just two years ago? Leeds have not been an easy side to beat in recent times when it comes to the FA Cup. In fact, they also held you at your place in recent times too. We played Wigan last year and their defence was tragic. So I would not be so quick to present the EPL as some sort of league where we have very good defences in every team. For a start, we have Bolton and Blackburn coming up with Henry allowed to play. Henry is quick in his mind and he will make runs that some EPL defenders will never see. He will then bury the said chance like he did yesterday.
Storybook stuff indeed. I wonder what the youth development coach at Arsenal thinks of it all though. In over 5 years he has been unable to develop a striker good enough to even come on as a sub in a cup game against a championship team to improve Arsenals chances. A better bet to draught in an elderly & clearly out of shape Henry.
The goal he scored had no bearing on the opposition, the first touch and the strike for the goal was world class - against ANY opposition.
basically he just judged the angle and rolled it. Most players blast it and take out the guys in the top tier -- not our Thierry.
