'When A Controversial Twitter Thread Attempted To Expose Thierry Henry As A "Bottler"

Is Thierry Henry the most overrated striker in history? Well, a social media user tried to expose the legendary Frenchman in a detailed thread about his career at Arsenal.

Henry's arguably the greatest Premier League striker of all time. He scored a staggering 175 goals in England's top flight during his illustrious spell at Arsenal.

However, @Hustler_Futbol isn't a fan as he posted a 14-tweet thread explaining how he's a footballing-fraud.

So, without further ado, here's "the bottler exposed".

2002 CL group stage. Arsenal vs Juventus. If Arsenal win, they go through.

Henry missed a tap in, a penalty and didn't lay it off in a 3 v 1. Arsenal go out group stages 2nd year in a row because Henry choked. pic.twitter.com/bwsfsraMPY

Henry played in 9 cup finals, scored 0 goals. Drogba played in 10 cup finals. Scored 10 goals.

Henry was notoriously terrible in big games. You can't be "great" and not be clutch. You can't think of any player in any sport that isn't clutch but is great. pic.twitter.com/l3W5mstSc3

Henry only scored in the CL Semi-final (ONCE) and never in a final.

Goals in CL semi-final + final

Drogba: 3 semi + 1 final = 4

Rooney: 3 semi + 1 final = 4 pic.twitter.com/3n5EiE4XWx

Henry shamelessly joined Barca to piggyback off Messi and Eto'o to finally touch a CL trophy. His only goal in the 2008/09 QF, SF or Final was when Barca were up 3-0 vs Bayern in the QF. This grown man was reduced to leeching off their careers. "Can't beat them join them" pic.twitter.com/knRlXN2shu

The user's theory didn't go down too well on social media.

289 goals for @Arsenal , part of the invincibles squad, one of the greatest strikers in the Premier League era and he’s won every trophy in world football. Why the bitterness? Did he turn you down for an autograph? Two words... pic.twitter.com/mkFbGlT5pR

Sure, some of those stats don't make for good reading but Henry is one of the most lethal strikers in the history of the game.

He was ultra-prolific for the Gunners, scoring 20+ goals in five straight seasons while winning the Premier League Golden Boot an impressive four times, more than any other player.

Henry won two Premier League titles including THAT season in 2003/04. He bagged a ridiculous 30 goals as Arsenal went the whole league season unbeaten.
