Henry admits small pitch theory

Arsenal striker Thierry Henry has admitted he is still not feeling fully at home at Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners remain unbeaten at Emirates Stadium but have struggled to score at times and have had to come from behind to earn draws.
In his programme notes for Arsenal's UEFA Champions League clash against Hamburg, Arsene Wenger urged fans not to put too much pressure on Henry.
The Frenchman, meanwhile, has revealed that he does not feel entirely comfortable in his new surroundings.
Henry also explained that he enjoyed turning on the flair at Highbury but was not quite ready to play in the same way at Arsenal's new ground.
"I think I've got five goals at this stadium now in eight starts but I still don't feel fully at home here," he said.
"Perhaps I tried stuff at Highbury that I'm not trying here, but that's natural because I knew my way around Highbury so well."

Nothing whatsoever about a small pitch theory, change the title parky

More a small dick theory.

does anyone else have an image of Henry studying a map of the Emirates pitch? The goal is in the same place on every pitch, dickhead.

True, it must be terrible difficult for someone to be lost on a football pitch.

Maybe he should speak to Fletcher and Smith

Bless you Arnaud, you are forgiven!!!!

5 goals in 8 games is hardly a 'failure' though

Sounds like an admission.

at least 1 pen and at least 1 free kick, as opposed to rooney 7 in 10 all from open play, Thierry has got nothing on him. Henry always looked a lot more dangerous at Highbury.

Home team usually plays better at home , just because they've played a few matches there doesn't mean they are that much more comfortable than the away team. Also he is playing in a different position, up front down the middle on his own, and the team is not quite firing on all cylinders.

If he ends the season as top scorer again can we banish the small pitch theory forever?

Lets hope so.

He is only one behind Drogba. People talk as if he has only scored one ot two this season.

What the fuck?
Im not going to open this can of worms but Rooney has a better strike rate than Henry for the first time in his career and now Hnery has "nothing on him".

Lrds confusing form and class - hes also confusing 'goals against crap teams' to 'EPL top scorer 4 seasons running'

To say that Henry has nothing on Rooney is in all honesty laughable

He's confusing choking in Europe with ... er... Choking in Europe?

I'll remind you that Henry has 44 goals in Europe Tone, how many does Rooney have?

3.

1 for every season...

So how can you possibly compare Henrys choking to Rooneys?

In fact I'd hardly call 44 goals 'choking'

He's not as good as Ruud, Raul or Sheva then.

So everyone else in Europe is a choker?

If they can't score when it matters, yes.

1. Raúl 54 goals
2. Ruud van Nistelrooy 47 goals
3. Andriy Shevchenko 43 goals
4. Thierry Henry 42 goals
5. Alessandro Del Piero 36 goals

So he's not even in the top 3 strikers in the world? Embaressing.

So without being funny is Shevchenko (an all time CL great) a choker because he hit a extra time open goal at Dudek then missed a penalty in the shootout.

Woops, 42...

Well hes clearly not a choker, only idiots with agendas say he is

Can't have been an open goal if Dudek was in it, could it?

He's already scored one CL winning penalty. We'll let him get away with that miss/save.

Pretty much - jealousy is rife I suppose.

We know how special the guy is though - a true great
