Angry Arsenal fans message Thierry Henry and make their feelings known

Thierry Henry is widely appreciated as Arsenal's best
ever striker, and is the top goalscorer in their history.
He is so revered that a statue of him stands outside
the Emirates, while many neutrals would happily rate
him as best player in the Premier League since it
began.
since becoming a pundit for SkySports, since his retirement, Henry's
criticism of the Gunners has begun to wear thin
among fans, and this weekend was another example.
He told Sky Sports .on Sunday that the Gunners did
not really deserve their 2-1 win over Leicester:
"Arsenal didn't do enough to win the game at the
end of the day, I thought.”
"[Arsenal] have difficult away fixtures and they had
to win today. I don't think they played really well, I
don't think that was a great Arsenal. They didn't look
like champions but they won the important one."
Days earlier he had criticised Alex Oxlade-
Chamberlain to SkySports HQ , commenting: "Is
Oxlade-Chamberlain doing enough? I personally don’t
think so.
"I think that he is a talent, no doubt about it.He plays
for England, he is at Arsenal for a reason, but I think
he didn’t put a stamp on the team saying ‘this is my
position’. You need to want it."

Olivier Giroud is a player who has attracted criticism
from Henry over the past year, as has the club's
transfer policy.
When Henry began as a pundit for Sky, he caught
flak himself for being too bland and safe as opposed
to straight talkers Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville,
and there is a possibility he is going overboard to try
and compensate for this, and avoid accusations of
Arsenal bias.
The feeling among fans was summed up on Monday
morning when Henry praised Spurs goalkeeper Hugo
Lloris, before insisting he still wants Arsenal to win
the league.

@ThierryHenry @Arsenal Quite rightly

legacy at Arsenal to shite.
