The Frenchman possessed an immense amount of skill and carried Arsenal to their unforgettable Premier League triumph in the 2003-04 season. Theirry Henry spent eight years in Arsenal before staging a move to Barcelona. Thierry Henry made 254 appearances for Arsenal between 1999-2007 and scored a total of 174 goals.
Thierry Henry was what they call a complete striker.

Thierry Henry was quick, technically-gifted and had a knack of scoring goals. Some still debate that Thierry Henry was the best player to never win a Ballon d'Or. However, like every other player in the world, Thierry Henry also has some set of critics.
A football fan on Twitter with the username (@UTDCHI) posted a set of tweets to prove why the Arsenal legend was over-hyped by the Gunners. He also compared Thierry Henry with Wayne Rooney and Didier Drogba. Let's have a look.

Thierry Henry one of the most overhyped footballers and a stat paddler! Didier Drogba and Wayne Rooney were better

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

In 2010/11 after Ronaldo left for Madrid, Rooney scored 3 straight CL away goals in the QF,SF & final Vs Barca
In 2011/12, scored 6 goals with 3 KO goals against Napoli, Barca & final Vs Bayern pic.twitter.com/ylmOcsByXr

In 8 seasons in England:
Henry scored once at old Trafford (lost 6-1 to Utd)
Scored once at Anfield!
Scored twice at Stamford Bridge( Both pre Abramovich era)
Definitely goes missing in big games! pic.twitter.com/HzRTFpFJp3

Henry only scored in the CL sem-final once and never in the final.

Goals in CL semi-final & final
Rooney 3 semi & 1 final goal = 4
Drogba 3 semi & 1 final goal = 4
Big game player 💯 pic.twitter.com/qjSPBpgtGZ
Henry then joined an inform Barcelona just to piggyback off Eto’o, Iniesta and Messi to final touch a UCL trophy. His only goal in 2008/09 in QF, SF or final was when Barca were up 3-0 Vs Bayern in the QF!

If you can’t beat them, join them! pic.twitter.com/TBvTtDOXMu
Henry played in 9 cup finals with 0 goals! Drogba played in 10 cup finals and scored 10 goals!

He was notoriously terrible in big games! A great stat padding fraud! pic.twitter.com/BkztxhpnM9
Legends are known for their impacts in big games not against average teams!

What Drogba did against Bayern, what Rooney did for Man U after the departure of Ronaldo, are what you require against a supposed legend!
Yes, he had his moments but is just some lucky French Harry Kane
The Manchester United fan backed his point with some solid stats. Wayne Rooney, Didier Drogba and Theirry Henry were all legends of the game.
