THREAD: Thierry Henry - The most overrated striker in history.

The bottler exposed with only facts and no opinions

2002 CL group stage. Arsenal vs Juventus. If Arsenal win, they go through.

Henry missed a tap in, a penalty and didn't lay it off in a 3 v 1. Arsenal go out group stages 2nd year in a row because Henry choked.

2004 Champions League QF. Chelsea vs Arsenal. Henry failed to score in both legs and Invincibles knocked out because Henry choked.

2006 Champions League final. Henry missed 2 big chances. The most embarrassing when he was 1v1 with Valdes. He choked. Arsenal lost because he missed

Henry played in 9 cup finals, scored 0 goals. Drogba played in 10 cup finals. Scored 10 goals.

Henry was notoriously terrible in big games. You can't be "great" and not be clutch. You can't think of any player in any sport that isn't clutch but is great.

Henry only scored in the CL Semi-final (ONCE) and never in a final.

Goals in CL semi-final + final

Drogba: 3 semi + 1 final = 4

Rooney: 3 semi + 1 final = 4

Henry shamelessly joined Barca to piggyback off Messi and Eto'o to finally touch a CL trophy. His only goal in the 2008/09 QF, SF or Final was when Barca were up 3-0 vs Bayern in the QF. This grown man was reduced to leeching off their careers. "Can't beat them join them"

Champions League knockout stage goals:

Henry: 10

Drogba: 13

Rooney: 14

Henry played 13 seasons, Drogba played 12. Rooney played 11.

These are the teams that both Drogba and Rooney dragged to CL finals. Ageing teams

In 2011/12, Drogba scored 6 goals with 3 KO goals Napoli, Barcelona and Bayern.

In 2010/11, Rooney scored 3 straight away CL goals in the QF, SF and final vs Barcelona.

Thierry Henry away record in big PL games

In his 8 seasons:

Henry scored once at Old Trafford (in a 6-1 loss)

Scored once at Anfield.

Scored twice at Stamford Bridge (both pre Abramovich era)

Statpadding fraud

Thierry Henry Champions League KO goals for Arsenal entire career: 6

Sadio Mane CL KO goals in just 17/18 (his first CL season): 7

Mane scored in a CL final too. Henry never scored in a cup final in his career

Goals at Anfield: Giroud = 3. Henry = 1

Goals at Old Trafford: Henry = 1. Giroud = 1

Goals away to Tottenham: Giroud = 1, Henry = 1.

Giroud has played less games vs all

Both of these men joined the teams they were beating in finals. They both choked leads against these teams and performed terribly in the clutch. They both shameless joined Warriors/Barca to finally sniff the CL/Championship

Goals at Anfield: Henry = 1. Drogba = 3 .

Goals at Old Trafford: Henry = 1. Drogba = 3.

Goals away at White Hart Lane: Henry = 1. Drogba = 3.

Drogba has more goals in big games. Henry statpads vs bottom 10 teams
