Thierry Henry: The most overrated player in PL history -(PART 2)

Why Henry wasn't as good, or as clutch, as you think:

Henry got the assist record in 2002/03

2 of Henry's 20 assists were against the top 4. A total of 10%

9/20 (45%) of assists were against teams who finished in the bottom 4 (Bolton, West Ham, Sunderland, West Brom)

2002 World Cup, in his prime at 25, Henry was tasked with being the main man for France for the first 2 games with Zidane out. France were knocked out in the group stage.

He had more Red Cards (1) than goals (ZERO)

Euro 2008. Zidane retired, Henry at age 30 was the main man again. Pressure.

In the 2 games Henry did start, France lost. France KOd group stages once again.
