Right.
Shevchenko is a goal poacher, as much as I love him, he cannot create goals. Cast your mind back 3 years ago to 2002, Shevchenko had his worst ever season in Serie A scoring just five goals in 21 appearances.
Henry on the other hand leads "fantasy" scoring year in year out by setting up goals for his team mates and banging them in himself.
I also don't think it's fair to blame Henry for Arsenal's disappointments. I feel a lot of the disappointment has to fall on Arsene Wenger, who may find an undervalued teenager from the African continent and turn him into a worldclass player, but who cannot solve the 4-5-1 formation. This year Arsenal's defence has been in disarray, mostly due to injuries, but Wenger insisted on blooding in youngsters (Senderos, Hoyte) instead of signing new defenders during the winter. That's what let them down this season, already in the Prem they allowed twice more goals than they did last season, and allowing 3 to Bayern certainly sealed their exit.
Oh and internationals are shite. France insists on playing Henry outside his usual role, lurking on the left flank. During Euro 2004 Santini had him inside on the right looking for goals to head in.
