Ok Henry is back and played his first game in 2 years for us to commence his 2 month loan from New York Red Bulls in the FA Cup aagainst Leeds. I didn't see the game but saw the winning goal (1-0), scored by the man himself and at 34 years old, you wouldn't have thought he had degraded at all!
Apparently 'not the same player', as he describes, he doesn't take players on as much which is understandable but the goal was a pure lesson in striking masterclass. Surrounded by completely bewildered and unaware defenders he lurked along the defensive line then Alex Song played a perfect pinpoint pass to his feet just as he begins his run into space. Controlled beautifully and finished with class, typical Henry low in the opposite corner across the keeper, defence were no where.
Great win,great start back for Arsenal (227th goal) - even if it was only against Championship opposition.
Welcome back Thierry!
