Yeah every team goes through these patches unfortunately, hopefuuly sooner rather then later but we'll get back to our best again eventually. All of a sudden Man City players and fans will probably think they've automatically won the PL again. We get back to our best & we still have a good chance to win.
Suck a fat one bro

Even an Alexis or Arshavin level player probably wins us that game yesterday. If we had an Henry caliber player we would have 60 points or more.Feel like pure ****...
...just want an attacker like this again
Absolutely. He was intimidating to opponent and teammate alike. Have you ever read his biography, 'Lonely at the Top' ? I think it does a fantastic job of explaining his psyche and how wanting to impress his father drove him as a player and there are some cool insights into his time at Clairefontaine as well. You really get a picture of where that on pitch demeanor and all of that ability came from.
The thing with Henry was he made the difference on his own. It wasn't like oh....he needed Pires, Bergkamp and Freddie to do x y and z. Obviously it helped but think of the goals against Liverpool. Against Sp**s. Basically running back to where Vieira should be and saying give me the ball.For all the super talent he has, it is Thierry's mindset as player that impresses me the most.
When Arsène used to call him the Michael Jordan of football, as a kid I just thought he was referring to his world class ability...but as you get older and read about him, you realise how Wenger was mainly referring to how driven Thierry was to succeed...like Jordan, he probably would have killed people if it meant getting the win
You can see why he achieved so much in terms of trophies and individual accolades, one of the best ever to play the game.
I've always enjoyed listening to great athletes speak about the mental aspect of their games. You mentioned MJ who was my biggest hero growing up and the late great Kobe Bryant were 2 guys who were psychotic in their desire to win and I loved listening to them break down the little intricacies of their craft. I love listening to Thierry the analyst now breaking down his thought process in terms of how you set the defender up and what the counter is if the defender anticipates the first move you make because you see what separates good from truly great, preparation and adaptation borne in the mind.For all the super talent he has, it is Thierry's mindset as player that impresses me the most.

There's a decent podcast on Spotify "The high performance" podcast. Jonny Wilkinson was on it not so long ago and it was interesting to here the mindset.
Yeah, I've listened to a couple of episodes, it's interesting. I think that mindset is great in some aspects but it also has drawbacks. I personally have been that level of competitive in sports for most of my life(obviously at a much lower level with no real stakes) and while it can definitely help you achieve things, it also takes its toll. I remember Kobe saying that the difference between himself and Michael was that there are certain things that he personally didn't care about competing over. On the court, he was trying to kill you and in the gym he was trying to kill you because that was a part of killing you on the court but that was where it ended for him whereas Michael wants to beat you at cards, golf and every other activity there is.
