How the hell do you expect to play them?koolspyda said:BUT a chance to link up to argueably the makings of the best strike force the world will ever see ----->Ronaldinho's - Samuel Etoo - Messi - Henry
Easier said than done. I bet all 18 managers have thought of putting 1 man to mark Henry but as usual, he's scored 30 goals this season and left most markers for dead with his pace and movement. However, you have a point over there with Man Utd being very successful over Arsenal and its only partially because of someone marking Henry really tight. I feel that Man Utd controlled the midfield well and they were able to clamp down on the supply to Henry and that made Henry very isolated. They play a tight game in midfield with Fabregas, Reyes and Gilberto not being able to make a decent pass. And of coz i'd say they took the chances very well too.si|verfish said:You don't defend the normal way against Henry. You have to have one man mark him the whole night and keep it tight. United managed to do just that a couple of times and in those times Henry was anonymous.
If you have a flat four, it doesn't matter if you defend deep or push higher up, he has bags of pace and guile to beat the last defender. You need to put a man on him and have that guy wrap himself all over Henry. Then pray that guy does a good enough job.
