    Hleb happier without Henry

    Saturday 23 Feb 2008

    Arsenal midfielder Aleksandr Hleb is adamant that Arsene Wenger has a better squad since Thierry Henry left the club last summer for Barcelona.
    The France international had been the star name in the Gunners' line-up for eight seasons but Wenger's side have soared to the top of the Premier League table in his absence this term.


    ALEX HLEB

    "I know why we are so good, the explanation is simple," Hleb told The Sun.
    "Until last summer, we had just played for Thierry Henry. He was running the show. Whenever I got the ball, I was looking up, 'where's Henry?'
    "I did not care to go for goal myself! And if once in a while I dared to pass the ball to someone else, he would shout, 'hey, I was free!'

    When he was on form, we won everything. When he was off form, we lost. That has all changed. We are not a one-man band any more.
    "Nobody complains when I risk some dribbling. That's the reason for our good performances - we were set free."

      I wonder what him gonna say when at the end of the season they have no trophies? TH14 is a winner .. they should all be thankful they were in the presence of greatness.

        That is more than saying Henry was anti-TEAM. I have always said that when you have a player as brilliant as Henry, his teammates would play for him, always trying to find him when others might be available. It happened at Harbour View.

            .. and I stand by that statement regarding Ronaldinho. At the top of his game ... he is the greatest. Injury has been his problem this season.

              You are right he was more than ANTI-TEAM! He was holding back progress!

              Berating teammates about always letting him have the ball? Indeed?!

                So Henry had not fallen into the same hole?
