no, spartak, not every time but he has by his own standards, set in the premiership, consistently underperformed at european and world level.
this could be for several reasons...i personally believe that it is a combination of the fact that arsenal work well as a team, they instinctively know how each other play and where they will be and move to, but also i think it is because the standard of defending in the premiership is not so high and so henry does not have the experience of, say shevchenko, of playing against well organised good defenses week in week out.
