One of the coldest players ever, he was cocky as fuck but he backed it up. Very complete player, Olympic speed in his prime, physically strong, great ball control, effortless dribbling, one of the best finishers ever but also dangerous from long range at the same time, great passers, he has the premier league record for most assists in one season, even though he was mainly known as a scorer and not a Playmaker, he was always smooth and composed. He was the type of striker that even legendary defenders were afraid of, he had that kind of effect on defenders. He's widely regarded as the greatest premier league player in modern history and one of the top 5 strikers in football history, unstoppable in his prime.

[@-_-DatDude]

Thierry Henry was most definitely a showboater and a elite dribbler he just had the productivity to go with it. The thing you need to understand about Henry. Was that, in his prime he was more than goalscoring striker. For example in Henry's best ever season in the Premier League he had amassed 20 assists despite not being a Playmaker! For context, It's been 19 seasons, the English game seems be more attacking/open and nobody has broken his record. There are only 2 weaknesses of Henry's game. The first being that he was somewhat poor in the air for someone 6ft2. The second being that he had a reputation of not being a "clutch" player as he had 0 goals in 9 cup finals. Overall thou his pros massively outweigh his cons. For me he was easily one of the best players in his generation despite the fact he never won the Ballon d'Or(got robbed). Which is crazy as the generation Henry played had for more world class players than today's game imo.

[@jokeralarms849]

Great points, however the 0 in 9 finals narrative is very subjective when you amount goals as overall performances which it isn’t. Furthermore context should be applied as well, as in 2000 euros final against the colossal Italy defence, Henry was initially awarded the MOTM. Galatasary 2000 decent game, could’ve scored and put it on a plate for keown who missed an open goal. UCL 2006 missed a guilt edged chance but got the assist and ran his socks off as Arsenal were a man down. 2006 WC final he was concussed due to a snide foul by cannavaro, yet got the pre assist which Malouda won the pen. 2001 fa cup was underwhelming although their defender handled the ball on the line and should’ve been sent off. 2003 fa cup final he was cash money, quality performance. So overall there’re criticisms in some finals but the 0 in 9 narrative is a weak and an acute argument to put forward without applying context. The term ‘clutch’ is also misconstrued in only being finals, which IMO is false. An example of clutch is the unbeaten streak being on the line vs LFC and Henry dragging his team to victory. That’s clutch

[@-_-DatDude]

@@jokeralarms849 Yeah that's a very well written post Joker, I could do you one better and make an argument that one of the most iconic clutch goals I've seen of the past decade was the Aguero against QPR which was in the Premier League... Not a cup competition. *THAT* Aguero goal was agonising and still is to some extent as a Man Utd fan. So yeah, I hear what you saying bro "clutch" isn't as cut and dry as I initially implied it was. Just a FYI, I don't necessarily agree with the narrative completely as Thierry did turn up in loads of big games against us and against other big teams like Real Madrid and whatnot. So the "clutch" aspect for me is a bit iffy and I am more in the middle tbh. More often than not it was the supporting cast like Lehmann having a moment of madness or something else that would be talking points of said finals but yeah I thought I would still include it as a flaw, as whilst I personally don't agree, the narrative of Thierry Henry never scoring in a single final in his career is still there. Like I said thou even if he wasn't clutch he still goes down as one of the best in a generation that is stacked to the brim of world class players. There's no such thing as perfection after all lol.

[@jokeralarms849]

@@-_-DatDude Spot on, couldn’t have summed it up better. It’s the fact that the 0 in 9 finals/Henry being a ‘big game bottler’ all started from a naive chelsea fan on the bird app couple yrs back which was blown out of proportion and now you see uneducated football fans deliberately use it as a stick to beat him with. The 2006 year for him was cruel, within weeks of losing out on the UCL and WC, ironically being soo close in winning both. Heading wasn’t his forte, although marking his moment against your team(Utd I assume) at the emirates.

[@DoctorNerf]

Henry is the best striker in premier league history. For me he’s the only player where for a solid 5 years I was actively scared to see him against my team. Absolute assassin man, he was going to score it just didn’t matter. And the thing is look where he’s collecting the ball… half of these clips start with him near the half way line running into / past 2-3 players. Violent baller.

[@sportschool3537]

I'm a die hard Arsenal fan and Ti-Ti and the whole invincibles squad was the reason I fell in love with football and Arsenal... Henry is BY FAR the best striker in Premier League history... absolutely lethal scorer and on top of that a better passer and dribbler than any other Striker EPL has ever seen... Henry is seen as less than Messi and Ronaldo only because he was playing for Arsenal and not Real Madrid or Barca (he went to Barca after serious injury and he wasn't top form Henry anymore)... I've always said that Henry and Totti are the two most disrespected players of my generation because they played for their teams their whole career (well, almost all of it for Henry since he did move eventually near the end) but both of them were so much more talented and so much better players than all the superstars of their time that played the same position... I don't see why Ronaldo "Fenomeno" was a better player than Henry for example... yes, he was a beast before the injuries but so was Henry... Ronaldo was just more flashy and jaw dropping with his dribbles... or why Zidane was better than Totti (short answer, he wasn't... just played for better teams... Totti was a better and more creative passer and a waaaaaaaaaaaay better finisher than any attacking midfielder I've ever seen) I can talk about Henry for hours... the guy was pure joy to watch... they don't build Strikers like him anymore with all the big club academies that don't let the kids be creating and just "put them in a system"... Strikers nowadays can barely dribble... they call Mbappe a dribbler ffs and all he has is speed and a decently good fake-dribble... Henry was 10 times the player Mbappe is right now, not even f-ing close... plus Henry had that insane supreme confidence in his game that characterizes the GREAT players... you couldn't make him fear you... you only feared him... the moment he touched the ball your legs were already shaking... Have a good year and keep enjoying the beautiful game 😁

[@peteryarnold9707]

I'm sorry, there is only one "best striker in Premier League history", that's the guy who IS the best striker in Premier League history, Alan Shearer

[@BourbonJRA]

Shearer

[@DoctorNerf]

@@peteryarnold9707 imo Henry is a better player. Shearer was a prolific goal scorer but his game didn’t stretch beyond goal scoring. Henry’s assist stat speaks volumes to how pivotal he was in his teams overall play. Plus, his style of play is more elegant, Shearer was great but not with grace. Besides, Shearer is the top scorer in the PL, but only by virtue of games played. If Henry had stayed in the PL he would’ve exceeded. Shearer played in about 15 premier league seasons, Henry played in maybe 8.

Thierry is 1 of 3 players play in the Prem I have seen, that when they pick up the ball you can see the entire opposition shit themselves through their body language, Cristiano Ronaldo in his last 2 years at Man U, Suarez when he played for Liverpool and Henry for Arsenal at his peak, amazing player

Liverpool's gameplan was literally "Suarez against the world" and the mad thing is that Suarez almost always won and they almost won the damn league... pure insanity... but I think all in all Henry was a much better and much more talented player than the GREAT Luis Suarez... Henry was just in a league of his own... he's just underrated because he left his beloved Arsenal way too late in his career and he didn't sell out to play for the most "marketable" teams like UEFA Madrid and UEFAlona in his prime (he did go to Barca but way too late in his career... he was barely the same player anymore and had a serious lower back injury that slowed him down a lot) Henry is easily the best player in EPL history... lethal scorer, way better passer than Ronaldo or Suarez or any other striker or big goal scorer for that matter, amazing dribbler... and also the first ever "False 9" striker which is so annoying that Pep and Messi claim that title because Wenger and Henry were using the False 9 strategy waaaaaay before Pep thought to do it with Messi... Arsenal with False 9 Henry was destroying the Prem since the early 2000s... From another Arsenal fan that is FINALLY excited about our team's future... let's get a CL spot this year and next year all we need is a world class striker and we can challenge for the championship!!!

[@jacksmith4460]

Striker is about how far up the pitch you play as well as scoring goals. Like Zidane , Marradona, Gerrard, Scholes all scored goals but were midfielders more than Forwards , so some "goal scorers" are not Strikers, but they usually are, Henry was. All Strikers are Forwards, but not all Forwards are Strikers, Messi is not really a Striker although he is a Forward and a Goal Scorer. A Striker players usually Central (sometimes slightly to the left or right, left in Henry's case) and is the furthest player up the pitch in your starting or Defensive formation (the shape the team tries to be in when they dont have the ball, when you win the ball back of course now you are attacking so it becomes the starting formation for attack too) In Football you have Goalkeepers Defenders (Includes Center Backs, Fullbacks, and Wing Backs) Midfielders (Includes Defensive Mids, Box to box Mids, Attacking mids, Wingers, No10's, different types of playmaker midfielder ) Forwards (Includes, Wing Forwards, Center Forwards, Strikers, Second Strikers a.k.a "False 9's") A common Formation is 433 - which means 4 defenders, 3 Midfielders and 3 Forwards but you can have others 442, 451, 352, 361, 4231 (where the 2,3 means 2 defensive mids, and the 3 means 1 central attacking mid/number10 and 2 wingers who play wide and far up the pitch, Like WIng Forwards, but a Wingers job is more to create goals rather than score them like the WIng Forward) Wing Forwards - Mo Salah is a WIng Forward, usually fast , great dribblers , tricky players Center Forward- Lewandowski is a center forward usually strong and good all round game and usually good in the air Strikers- Usually the best at finishing fast and skill full, or at least have a really good touch Second Striker/False 9- Messi These are almost like no 10's but further up the pitch, they are not as far up the pitch as a normal striker, link play more and look to dribble into the goal scoring spaces rather than receive the ball in those places (like a normal striker or Center Forward does) These are simple breakdowns but I am missing out so many sub types of each of these, and also the blur between Center Forwards and Strikers, because certain players are kind of both , but some are very much one and not the other, Like Aguero is a Striker, but not a Center Forward. Cristioan Ronaldo is a Striker, and a Center Forward and used to be a Wing Forward, Messi is NOT a Striker, he s NOT a Center Forward but is a Second Striker /false 9 and used to be a WIng Forward. Henry Is a Center Fowrard , and also a kind of Wing Forward and you would have to say a Striker too I hope this makes sense. The problem is sometimes the terms are used incorrectly and also each of them has areas where they meet so you get players (usually quite good ones) that can play in 2 or more of these positions, sometimes even in every types (Steven Gerrard springs to mind, Box to Box Midfielder, but could play in Defence, Midfield and Forward, so you end up asking yourself "so what position is he?" lool)

Bully ball players in soccer are called target-man forwards they kinda play like power forwards or centres in basketball. They are strikers who tend to be taller, very physically muscular and powerful and dominant in the air. So they can hold onto the ball and post up against defenders and enjoy it because the know they can overpower them and dominant them to score a goal or create a chance for someone.

You asked the question was he doing that regularly. I can answer from watching him play way before he turned pro. I grew up in Les Ulis and Thierry's parents were my neighbours therefore I'm more entitled to give you my opinion on his evolution as a player. Thierry always had technique in him but the most predominant characteristics of his game was the speed of execution and the precision of his final ball delivery. He used to tear defenders from the wing that's where he started his professional career as a winger and that's why he takes on players. People give props to Wenger for developing him but I'd say Jean Tigana at Monaco has more to claim for helping with changing his mentality into a more predatory instincts. Yes Thierry never dropped below 7/10 rating in games. Legend of the game

And btw a striker is the guy who plays higher on the pitch and their first responsabilty is to score the goals , they usually hold the number 9 , for instance the brazillian Ronaldo was a striker and the GOAT of strikers ofc , players like Messi , Henry , are called forwards and wing players ,Ronaldo was like that back in Manchester unted but later years with Real madrid he became a striker and a goalscorer .

[@sportschool3537]

Henry played as a Striker for 99% of his career... he only was moved to the wing in Barca to fit him in... but he was a Striker 100%... Henry was the first false 9 in the history of football and it's annoying that Guardiola and Messi have stolen that title from Henry and Wenger because Wenger and Henry were using the false 9 strategy waaaaay before Pep thought of it...

[@Trance18]

@@sportschool3537 you are delusional buddy with all the BS u said , Barça & Pep stole haha , btw it wasn't even Pep's invention it was Tito vilanova his assistant who later became the coach and saddly died ofc who came up with the false 9 strategy and Henry was not 99% of his career as a striker ,Kanu for the most part was the number 9 even wiltord occupied that role sometimes so that he open spaces for Henry .With arsenal he played In a free role , the kinda of role Messi had his whole career or Neymar has nowadays as well, where you don't play in just one position and with Barça he was a winger since Messi was the free player on the pitch , stop spreading nonesense

[@sportschool3537]

@@Trance18 You are uninformed... Pep played Messi as a False 9 striker for the first time in a Barca - Real game in 2010 or 2011 which Barca won 5-1... Kanu was a bench player you uninformed idiot... were you even watching the Arsenal team of the early 2000s? the starting 11 were David Seaman, Campbell, Adams, Ashley Cole, Lauren, Gilberto Silva, Patrick Vieira, Robert Pires, Reyes, Bergkamp and Henry... Kanu was NEVER a regular starter for Arsenal... now shut up and accept the fact that Henry was playing as a Striker that was regularly going back to the midfield to get the ball and please stop commenting on football if you have no idea about the game's history... Jesus Christ... what other kind of bullshit are we gonna hear on the shit fest of KZbin comments... Henry not a Striker... omfg...

[@Trance18]

@@sportschool3537 haha calling me an idiot in a debate only shows your lack of facts and debating skills, now lets get to the nonesense you said , first of all the first time Messi played as a false 9 was in 2009 in the game barcelona won 6-2 and with Pep there was never a game that ended 5-1 and lets not forget you claimed Barça stole that idea from arsenal which horseshit and there is nothing that backs that even if you ask Henry himself he'll laugh at you, for Henry playing as a striker , even Bergkamp on paper played as a striker but was he really ? Hell no , there is a difference between a formation and what we saw on the pitch and Henry played in a free role , even this video shows how free he played down the pitch asking for the ball and going forwards, he was never the type of a player that stays on the box and wait for the ball if you can't understand that i can't make you do so , because you seem one of those ppl who set their minds of smtg and never accept that they're wrong .

[@fullchicken4492]

You guys gotta go over the positions. For each position there’s a “type” of playstyles that you can be. If you guys play fifa you’ll learn REALLY quick by looking at player stats, positions, and how it influences the game. Just like 2K where’s there’s hella “build types”, there’s even more for football because there’s more positions.

[@Michael-cb5nm]

“Bully ball” is a thing in football. Some players like that shoulder to shoulder contact when in possession so they can bounce off a defender at the right moment and break away…

[@fabregasfan4]

Incredible incredible player. The way he just flows past players with pace, strength AND amazing technique is very rare.

[@DoctorNerf]

They’re not built like this anymore. Henry could have 3 defenders inside his ass and still push forward to score. These days, sadly, if a striker gets touched with any amount of severity they will go down to win a free kick or penalty, it’s pathetic that the game has come to this.

[@williams8152]

I watch Thierry Henry my whole life here in America as a kid till he retired he’s one of the best in the world that ever play the game

[@justlooking1087]

Yeah there are some forwards who like the physical contact. Usually they’re big men (like Drogba), but some are smaller like Hazard (before Madrid) - always drawing fouls or waiting for the defender to make contact before he spins them.

[@erichedwilliams8896]

Henry was so fast he always slow the defenders down and then takes off using his speed. He is a Legend coming from a Liverpool fan.

[@ajreacts2141]

We need the “ Kevin de bruyne, when football becomes art “ His passing on both foot will blow your mind!

[@jacksmith4460]

You gotta know, France had this guy Henry and Zidane ...in the same team (as well as Petite, Viera, Dessailly, Pires all amazing legend status players)

[@zobbilamouche1302]

i'm missing this team so bad. I was a teenager at that time and as a french i can tell you the 98 French national team inspires so many kids here, it was a dream team. Between Henry Trezeguet Anelka Djorkaeff we had so many offensive threats, Viera Petit Zidane in the midfield (then Makélelé later), and a top defense with Desailly Blanc Thuram Lizarazu Barthez... What a legendary team. And as unbelievable the World Cup win in 2018 was, nothing would ever replace the 98/2000 France squad in my heart

[@hpsauce9608]

Hallelujah!!! Reacting to premier league legends! Listen every kid who played football used to wanna be number14 and have their socks above their knees thinking we was Henry haha. Different gravy he was and I’m not even an arsenal fan. The team he played for arsenal was doing all that tiki taka before it even had a name! They just knew where each other was gonna be. They were called the invincibles back in early 2000’s, went a whole season without losing, plus it was I the premier league were every game is losable on any given day!….now another prem legend…..Steven Gerrard!!

[@haychhh6809]

Guys you HAVE to react to "Steven Gerrard- A Complete Midfielder" Apart from Zidane you haven't done a Midfirlder and this will give you a great perspective about the many duties of a Midfielder and they shoe how the player called Steven Gerrard excels at all of them hence why is debt as the "complete midfielder".

[@fitmotivation6142]

Hé told once in a interview that he forced his back to pick the defender up and scored with that backheel kick, this man was genius

[@Delboy0]

This guy is the Kobe Bryant of Football. Lewandowski said his idol was this guy. This guy is the greatest ever Premier League player because he was more dominant than Ronaldo in the Premier League.

[@SSS-ie6mh]

I had the pleasure of watching Henry in his prime. His Arsenal team destroyed everyone in the league and finished Invincibles aka unbeaten in the league throughout the season. Man had the combination of exquisite skill and blistering pace.

[@reduneyconceicao3420]

i was waiting for this one Thierry Henry was a complete player with no weakness on his game now is dennis bergkamp

[@kimzinho8061]

Hey Dunson family!!.. Please react to legend players that went to the MLS late in their career.. React to their time in MLS, not before..so you know how they played there. I will leave u just a few names but you can google that to find out more players! David Beckham...Zlatan...Nani (i think still playing for Orlando City)...Steven Gerard...Frank Lampard...Kaká...

[@adrianbetancourtbastidas4028]

The Premier League (League of England) is the most competitive League of all Europe, the worst team can beat the best, It´s something regular to happen in the Premier. The Arsenal Team of 2002-2003 is the only unbeaten champion of the Premier League, Do you how hard is that? The socre leader of that team was Titti Henry. It was beautifull see them play!!!

[@Hackaway]

On the comment of actively seeking contact like in basketball there's only one player that really comes to mind and that's the Belgian Mousa Dembele. There's a couple of compilations out there but none that really do him justice, nonetheless he's a really fun watch so I'd recommend checking him out. His ball retention was insane, probably the best there ever was while also being able to dribble silky smooth. The man had a 90% dribbling succes rate while the rest of the top dribblers were 15-20% behind him. I honestly believe he would be in the goat category if he went to a proper team with a great trainer at a young age.

[@jacksmith4460]

22:00 yeh You get that in football too Drogba, Battistuta , Ibrahimovic all love/loved the Bully ball style, So Big Center Forwards/Strikers, do that Power Foward type thing, the Shaq approach, run over them with a Truck who can finish basically. Henry was not a Bully ball style player...BUT he was strong and hold others off the ball. You do have some 1 on 1 stuff in Football, "Man Marking" which is based on 1 on 1 can work and is a style that is used to defend, but there is usually a blend of Zonal and sometimes a man will be put on a star player to mark /defend them out of the game. But sometimes you get entire teams do it (and it used to be the standard approach only 20 years ago)

[@user-ej3jy6eg6h]

Obviously a great player but I'll never forgive him for cheating Ireland out of world cup qualification

[@jacksmith4460]

Falling on a football pitch its not the same it is embarrassing but its not as painful for sure, but also if you get too worried about a player making you look bad....they will do it again lool

[@jorgesotomarino5559]

Great vid! Just to let yall know "Henry" is pronounced On-Ree. It's interesting I know lol

[@MohamedIbrahim-gq4gs]

If you like someone who loves physicality. React to Eden hazard when football becomes art.

[@skip2mylew170]

There are only a few players in any sport that reach an elite level where they've not only figured out how to win but they're also putting on a show. Henry was not only out there to win but he was also having fun with it. He's the Premier League's version of Michael Jordan

[@dk9091zx]

For context 4:02 that is the “galacticos team” the name for the Real Madrid team at the time that had Zidane roberto Carlos Ramos R9 Guti Beckham. Henry beat this team on his own.

[@L0RE22]

Noti gang! Henry was a magnificent player, glad you guys are reacting to him. An Arsenal and France legend and one of the best strikers of all time

[@seanriley199]

He was so good that I completely forgive him for cheating Ireland out of the World Cup

Best player to ever play for the team I support (Arsenal) What an absolute unit! Incredible player, and his name is like “Tee Airy, OnRee” well that’s how you’d pronounce it anyway 🤙🤙🤙
