Thiery Henry - is he still relevant to Arsenal?

Thiery Henry is one of the world most known footballer. His skill and type of play help the Arsenal team to become one of the 4 most competitive team in EPL. He's my no 1 most favorite football player.
However, the recent season of EPL (2006/07) gaves a lot of frustration to Arsenal fans. They lost in the final of Carling Cup. They lost in the FA Cup round and they are far from the EPL title crown. And the worst, they lost in the Champions League to PSV Eindhoven.

Although Henry did not play in that match of the Champions League but from other matches in the EPL show that he is not that fit enough to play for Arsenal.

It could be because he serve a long and continuos duty for his both country and Arsenal club. This could be make him become fatigue and just need a break for a while for him to be back in the shape again.

But I did disappointed when I watched his action in EPL matches. He seems not to be so "hardworking" member in Arsenal team. He just gather himself in the defence area of the opponents without having the sense to come back quickly to help the Arsenal defending their net.

In the past season, I used to watch him so helpful to the other players of the team and so hardworking in getting the ball back to his foot. He never loose the ball so easily in the past season. And if the ball was snatched from his foot by the opponent, he will do whatever it takes in getting back the ball. But, all of that attitudes seems not presence in him this season...Hmm...perhaps he just need a break...

Anyway, as a loyal fan to the Arsenal club and to Theiry itself....I believe, Arsenal will shine in the next coming season....I pray I'm right...heh....In fact, the young team of Arsenal looks so impressive this season (regardless they got bitten in the important games)......Go Arsenal...Go Theiry.....
