Henry review
By floegg3773, 13-03-2021

let me start by saying I idolize Henry as an Arsenal fan, so when I got the coins for his prime I went for it but I'm slightly disappointed by the card, he bangs in goals constantly and has the ability to finish a lot of chances but his clunkiness makes him a not so much fun card to use and I really wish that was different. I use Henry in a 4-2-3-1 as a lone striker in division 1(2150 skill rating)

his shooting inside the box on his right is outstanding and his volleys and finesse and chip shots are great Aswell. but even with the 4 star weak foot it feels like he cannot finish on his left for the life of him

his passing is solid for a striker and is more than you can ask for him I'm being honest, zero complaints here

dribbling is something that concerns me, his first touch and ability to run straight on and do a skill move are fine but the second you want to try to make quick turns and bob in and out of space its near impossible.

his physicality is great, he shrugs off a lot of the bigger center backs and with the fullback meta being used so often those players can't hold their own against him at all

he is absolutely rapid there's not questioning that

but I'm going to keep using him because he's scoring ability is insane and as long as gameplay feels smooth he's a great player but the clunkiness causes issues, if coins aren't an issue or he's a player you love, get him hell be insane but keep in mind he isn't Messi or mbappe he is not going to skill past players the same way.

shooting on strong foot

pace

strength

passing short and long range

versatile enough to play as a LF/FR or a wide CAM

dribbling

left foot

if gameplay is poor he's beyond clunky and not to fun to use

Thierry Crews (comedy genius)

Used him with finisher chem styleFirst of all, i do thin...

EA did Henry dirty ;(

Man. Thierry Henry was the reason I started to love soccer. Living in the United States back in the day literally only the top 4 (maybe 6) teams were televised and Arsenal being one of those team, was the main reason I fell in love with the beautiful game. I was so excited, at the beginning of the year I packed baby Vieira and then I completed the Bergkamp SBC (dont judge me), naturally I HAD to go for the OG himself... The...
