No doubt. What people don't realize he was not a Vinicius like attacker but more like a Leao on steroids. Walker dominated Vini because he is smaller than him. But people should realize that the close control of Henry was great, he could dribble with both feet. But most importantly he was very smart, big and strong. Walker even complained about that he couldn't do anything about the acceleration of Mbappe. If Mbappe is a guy who can dominate hím physically I don't doubt that a Prime Henry wouldn't give him a chance. Plus to be honest I think Walker could be grateful he never really played against Marcus Thuram or Leao because they are the players nowadays who are pretty similar to Henry but a bit worse.
He's the Arsenal player out of all who gave me the most joyous moments watching Arsenal in my childhood. I honestly dont think I'll see a better player than him at Arsenal in my lifetime.
LOL Henry skinning the Italian defence effortlessly. Nesta (twice) and Cannavaro. Then there's Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Ramos, Puyol from Brazil and Spain also getting it.
@@vald.sullyvan Henry and « dribbling » in the same sentence is crazy. Just prove that y’all never seen him play and watch football through UA-cam highlights. « Elegant » might be the last word you should think about when talking about Henry.
What made him and Ronaldo de Lima special in their hey day was that they were a breed of strikers who would operate from deep, as if they have a timer of 10 secs to hold the ball, instead of one touch and run into the box and wait for opportunity, thereby having to depend on stats. Special breed
@@kenatove7263 yes but they enjoyed partying a bit too much. There was indeed a spell where Henry was untouchable. Think what you want we’ll have to agree to disagree

@@kenatove7263 Ok. From 2002 and 2006 good luck trying to catch Titi Henry with the ball. He scored at will. Incredibly intelligent and an absolute machine mentally. Ask all the top defenders. Henry was toying with Ramos, Ferdinand, Carragher. They had nightmares before playing. So do your homework
He was actually a nightmare. Chelsea fan speaking. Arsenal were genuinely scary and it was 90% because of Henry. Couldn't stand him but he was ridiculous. Anyway, we had Drogba bullying them for a good few years afterwards. 😂
A nightmare that only scored 2 goals in Stamford Bridge in 8 years in England… before Abramovitch of course. PL is so weak that your best player ever is clumsy Thierry Henry ? 😂
My all-time favorite player, along with Bergkamp. That was a perfect duo born in heaven, electric fast and unstoppable Henry assisted by the most elegant and intelligent creator Bergkamp, oh boy.
Thierry Henry and Ronaldinho are by far my favorite living football legends, they are the reason I fell in love with football in the first place, they are part of my childhood... Henry should have won at least one or two ballon d'or in the 2003 and 2004 seasons, he was so unique and underrated back then, he was almost unstoppable and genuinely a very good all-rounder authentic player. ☯️✌️
Erm, except when he was main man at Arsenal they never defended a league title, never won a Champs League and even in the Barca team he did win a Champs League Messi was by far the most important player. Henry was good for a few years but like all pace merchants he burned bright for a few years before retiring as an ember of his former self, same thing will happen to M'bappe.
he was so fast, but he used his speed intelligently, what was awesome too was how smooth his feints and change of direction are, he man handled defenders he was not just a speed merchant. also in all those clips he always ended up in the opponent penalty box no matter where he started on the field, if thats how he played all the time then i understand why hes so feared
Je suis français et je respecte énormément Henry. Beaucoup d'anglais disent que ça à été le meilleur joueur quils aient vu évoluer en PL. J'étais jeune quand il etait à son prime. Quel joueur incroyable et humain aussi.
There are times where he passes and honestly, if he was more selfish he couldve just kept the ball, ran past 2 or 3 more defenders and scored. He was a great team player on top of all his skills.
This is henry at his best you just know this guy's on another level if he megged nesta (I think it was a nutmeg at the start) henry made this look like a walk in the park also keep up the good work
The starting question was absurd. Haven't thought of any worldclass defender that Henry didn't beat, let alone kyle walker. In that era, he might be the most feared striker by any defender.
Titi is still the best striker we ever seen in premier league, liverpool Suarez could be leveled but only shy by his shorter run in epl. Titi is still by far at the benchmark (not scorer) that no striker could surpass till date
Whenever some fool makes a negative comment about Thierry Henry as a player immediately I lose all respect for that person as it becomes instantly clear that the fool knows nothing about football ✌🏼🙏🏼
Thing about henry is like iniesta he understood how momentum worked. On top of that the man was fast af hed have walker on skates if they went against each other in their prime.
In his prime he was sending ramos, puyol, edmilson.. on the ground with one shoulder. He was quick and powerful. Even C.Ronaldo never had such characteristics. Drogba was powerful but not quick
I have always argued that there are quite a few players who were/are greater than Cristiano Ronaldo. Thierry Henry has always been one of those players whose name I included on that list.
The problem with half of these clips is that if a modern player tried to do what Henry does, they'd rather go down with any slight contact to try and win a set piece or yellow card.
If this is the first you've seen of him, understand the creator of this video was going for certain types of moments. Yes he wasted energy needlessly, yes he did often take the ball wide unnecessarily when there were better options... but if you're wondering about lack of goals or the poor shots and crosses, he did actually create many goals and had a wonderful finish. It's just a weird video focusing on sprint speed mostly
Roberto Carlos was the only lateral defender i record ever seeing matching Henry's speed! they had quite some battles i extremely appreciated watching! what a time was it to be football fan!
@@jalesbarjo4740 The worldclass striker always think that he is the best striker in the world. Thats why titi give carlos lesson. R9 one of the best striker in the world!

I watch the game when henry vs carlos. All day, henry beat carlos alll day brah. Even nesta luigi dibiagio cannavaro get humiliated by henry. I watch all the game that henry play for arsenal and france
Look at him ,the game is to easy for him in his prime. He destroy everyone ,nesta ,ferdinand,terry ,lucio ... You can tell that about levandowdki,kane or so many strikers overatted?
Grealish laughs because he never saw Henry in his prime. Henry was by far the best striker in the world. No disrespect to Walker, but he wouldn't have even turned around when Henry was already 20 yards away.
He was faster than he looked, his running style was unique, he had giant strides, he was rapid, prime Henry would have walker on toast!

@@csakegybolond264 I agree with you.. especially Marcus Thuram
An underrated aspect of Henry's attributes is his physical strength, Walker is physically strong, but boy, Henry could hold up defenders well in Henry
he would of been a double ballon d'or winner if it wasn't for ronaldinho. Best ever premier league player.
It was pure magic.
He is Reason I love football & Arsenal..
He's the Arsenal player out of all who gave me the most joyous moments watching Arsenal in my childhood.
I honestly dont think I'll see a better player than him at Arsenal in my lifetime.
Henry wasn’t Russian
He was French
Skill, Pace, Timing, Strength, Intelligence, Elegance, Leadership and Team play.
All in one.

He was one of the greatest. Him, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo Nazario were the reasons why I began to love football
insane how much more physical defending was back then.. can’t imagine how much goals henry would score in todays game
He made the old pro evo series fun. Just elegance
Henry was the best player in his prime, in term of performance and stats
He gave Jamie Carragher plenty of nighmares
Jimmy must appreciate, at last, having him besides him as a pundit now, without seeing the back of his cleats running away!
This does not even include any of his 350 + goals and 100+ assists…Crazy 😂
Thank you, this is the most informed, most logical and out right factual comment on Henry ! Big respect

Sadly a little underrated in France for various reasons.
4:13 where it all started 😂

He was the ultimate baller
He gets in every 1s top 11 prem side ... just a freek dude what a player
Really miss football games of that time 🥹🥹

@@LoveSerah definitely.. Henry was absolute beast in his prime..
Only Chevtchenko could come close after Ronaldo injuries.
Agreed. He'd have made Walker look silly.
He most likely meant in a sprint
Not defensively
I doubt he was that dumb to think if he could beat him defensively
Imo Its totally mind-blowing how explosive and fast he was compared to other players of his era. You rarely see such a difference in today's football.
He was very strong too
Henry was a prime mover with a deadly finish
He was so good it looked like as if he's playing with kids 😂😂😂😂😂😂
He run is so speed amazing 😮😮
and the man was not dribbling Maguire... but defenders of the same class as his. Legend
When his prime just like a samurai can slice Defenders with simple Pace and Dribble
Silky smooth !
Henry Like Sprinter ...🔥😁
Nesta got sent differently 😂
Stupido question by grealish. Henry was on the same level as messi and ronaldo
Grealish El Stupido
messi is in a league of his own but henry definetly was in ronaldo s league
Prime Henry was better than any other winger
Fast and strong, he occupied the other team. This helped Arsenal a lot.
He ran faster with the ball than anyone else without it.
How fast was this guy! Sometimes it's crazy footwork and others are just kick and chase.
Loll prime Henry would absolutely cook Walker. Literal walk in the park!
Titi is still the best striker we ever seen in premier league, liverpool Suarez could be leveled but only shy by his shorter run in epl. Titi is still by far at the benchmark (not scorer) that no striker could surpass till date

Roberto Carlos pace was 99 on fifa 2004 by the way and Henry ran past him easily Mbappe can't comper to Henry in pace alone not to mention finishing.
Thing about henry is like iniesta he understood how momentum worked. On top of that the man was fast af hed have walker on skates if they went against each other in their prime.
A this didn't even include his famous goals with runs from his own half against Tottenham, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Inter...
In his prime he was sending ramos, puyol, edmilson.. on the ground with one shoulder. He was quick and powerful. Even C.Ronaldo never had such characteristics. Drogba was powerful but not quick
