Comments on: Henry-less Arsenal Spurred On By Captain’s Absence http://www.afc4life.co.uk/2006/12/03/henry-less-arsenal-spurred-on-by-captains-absence/ Fri, 29 Aug 2008 17:45:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.1 by: Qian Chen http://www.afc4life.co.uk/2006/12/03/henry-less-arsenal-spurred-on-by-captains-absence/#comment-6388 Wed, 06 Dec 2006 07:10:47 +0000 http://www.afc4life.co.uk/2006/12/03/henry-less-arsenal-spurred-on-by-captains-absence/#comment-6388 There is no doubt Thieryy Hnery is a special one for Arsenal. But the focus lies in what role he plays in the team. Is it technical, spiritual or is it both? I think it is both. As the captain and few old players in the team, he feels the responsibility to act like a leader on and off the pitch. That is why he sat there and celebrated in Emirates when against Spur, and it proved he was infuential especially for Adebayor as he admitted himself later. What I am trying to say is as long as it is a positive effect, why doubt it? What I concern more is whether we should sign someone in the winter transfer market. Henry thinks so while Wenger does not. Henry decided to stay partly because the club promised him to improve, which needs something beyond a simple promise. I think he must be at least a little bit disappointed about Wenger's decision not to sign anybody. And that is the so called disaccord. There is no doubt Thieryy Hnery is a special one for Arsenal.

Its true that Henry cab be big headed at times but its also true that he loves this club. Thats probably part of the reason for the words between him and Wenger. Its Wenger saying , look you aint fully fit and you are only doing the team a dis service by playing. We need you at 100%. This is my team and not yours so im calling the shots. Henry stormed off but realised that Wenger is in fact the man in charge and not Henry himself, he is but the captain. So Wenger needed to put henry in his place a bit. Wenger is the man to take the burdens of the team on as the manager and not henry as the captain. Henrys job is now to get himself fit and lead by example. And Henry at his best is an example to all footballers. I this its a little from column A and a little from column B to be honest.

You can't say Henry was just supporting his team. Where was Henry when we played at Old Trafford? Where was he in all the other games where he's been injured? He loves himself so much and Wenger was obviously annoyed that the focus was taken away from the players on the pitch to Henry who shouldn't have even been there! People should be praising the job the players actually did on the pitch instead of Henry and his antics. The problem is he loves himself too much and he was acting like the manager yesterday!
