I'm not complaining about Henry not SCORING. The point I've been trying to put across is - with TALENT as huge as Henry's, he should shoulder the responsibility of being the MAIN MAN and take over the game in BIG MATCHES/CRUCIAL MATCHES. That does not mean just by scoring. So often, he simply DISAPPEARED. I hope to see him in the thick of the action, to get the ball, to pass the ball, to run more, creating space for teammates...
Of course I acknowledged the contribution Henry had done for us over years, and the goals he had scored. But that's not the POINT i was trying to make. I was talking about the CRUNCH TIME, the BIG MATCH.

When Tony Adams was with us, he always STOOD TALL at BIG MATCHES. Tony never DUCK from challenge, the biggest challenge it was, the better he became. Remember the FA Cup Semi against Spurs during the 90s? We got beaten by them two years ago in the semi final of the same competition, the Gooners had endured two-season-long abused and humiliation from Spurs fans. So try to imagine the stake in that match. Had we lost it again, it would be horrified to imagine what kind of sticks we would have been getting from the Spurs fans. It was a tight match with both teams struggling to break the deadlock, then there came Tony Adams, rose to occassion and headed in the winner, as he did again and again.
The players I love are always the one who give their BEST, and never shy away from any challenge. Why Tony and Ian Wright are among the all time favourite among the Highbury faithful? Because they always gave it all.
Put it simply - if it was Ray Parlour we are talking about, I would not expect so much from Ray, as he does not possess the same talent as Henry does. But even Parlour loves the big occassion. FA Cup 98 he was man-of-the-match, UEFA Cup semi a few years back, I think he scored a hat-trick, and FA Cup final 2002 he also scored for us.
And there is Freddie. He always singlehandly kept our momentum going during the latter stage of our 2002 double winning season, scoring crucial goals again and again, before scoring another at the FA Cup final as well.
I watched Freddie during the Man U match, if you guys are talking about the Arsenal spirit, here is one player got plenty of it. The new boy Reyes got it too. They knew Man U players would hit them hard when they had the ball on their feet, but did they scare of it? Hell NO. Watch it carefully at the thick of action, who were the players from Arsenal side who were always involved? And WHY Reyes got hit hard by Man U players time and time again, yet it wasn't Henry? Because it was always Reyes who's runnig with the ball.
Once again, I was not talking about GOALS Henry didn't score. I was talking about COURAGE, HEART, and the ARSENAL SPIRIT.
