Thierry is simply the best.

 

[Gnegneri]

[La Furia]

Shouldn't your name be Respect_Arsenal?

 

[Respect_Barcelona]

And why's that

 

[TEKNYK]

yea well it's not to be taken seriously, really.. it's just fun.. I mean LUCA TONY IS NUMBER EIGHT

haha. the stats measure efficiency, not talent, and not effort. . .so things like making a bad pass or losing possession count as point deductions. I agree with the rankings.

Henry was on fire between december and April

 

[La Furia]

This is not basketball, efficiency isn't the be all and end all as long as you don't shoot for the stands every time you get the ball, but at the same time I never would have guessed Henry was so effective last year. While I don't think our general play misses him too much, we could definitely use his goal scoring ability. The only direct scorer we have right now is Pedro, and Henry should be better then him..hopefully.

 

[Gnegneri]

I don't get why he wasn't brought in earlier.

 

[Cal-FCB]

Henry/Pedro/Bojan should have been brought on a lot sooner. Henry made a hash of his chances but they weren't clear cut opportunities and he definitely added something.

 

[Cule Angles]

I thought the ball he received at the far post when unmarked was extremely clear cut.

 

[Cal-FCB]

It was a chance but for someone who's played no football for a while you cannot expect him to be sharp enough to take that. It would be difficult for an in form striker.

 

[Cule Angles]

Sorry but I thought it was a sitter, yes he had to react reasonably quickly but as chances come that was glaring.

 

[La Furia]

Oh Tits, you really, really need to find your form ASAP.

 

[Cal-FCB]

Just saw that chance again. On second look, that ball was looped over high and slowly, should have been watching that the whole way.

 

[Respect_Barcelona]

Being a bit Harsh on Thierry I think, I guess cause he was a former gunner that you are.

What about the clear cut chance Ibra missed that hit the post? for sure Thierry would of buried that.

Oh well thats what happens when your on a forum with a bunch of sour supporters who can't handle that there are other great players who come from outside of Barcelona FC!
