Henry's goal against Birmingham City

[Guest Kev]

Henry's goal against Birmingham City yesterday shows exactly what I've been trying to say this week about pace upfront.

 

If one of our strikers had been in that position they would not have scored that (with the remotely possible exception of Cisse).

 

Henry is a one off, but the goal he scored was not a 'Henry Special' it was scored because of skill and pace combined.

I think if we had Henry in his prime in this team we would be very close to Chelsea..nearly all the games we drew at the start of the season would have been wins.. Rafas forward signings have been a bit strange with their lack of pace

It relies a lot on the midfield getting forward, so it's no surprise that some are looking jaded at the moment.

come on , you could have picked a better example of henry though. I totally agree apart from yesterdays goal, i mean he just blasted it , it went more or less straight to the keeper who should have done better.

 

Good point, bad example , imo because cisse just blasts everything.

I don't think so. The ball to him was a good one, it was placed infront of him and he used his pace to keep ahead of the last defender and his skill to beat the keeper.

 

Look at where Henry is just as he starts his run, put Crouch or Nando in that position, do you think they would have got a shot on target ?

We do need someone who we can trust to stick the ball in the net regularly. We have too many Andy Cole-esque 5 chance men.

Well, according to some people on here, we only need a 7 goal a season striker, after all, we are Valencia 2 right?

Keeper should have saved it!
