    I mean, it's clear he's not well right now and after his "performance" against Spain where he missed two opportunities he can't afford to miss during the euro, i really think he needs a rest.
    Benzema should have started with Anelka yesterday.
    Henry looks weak with the ball right now, too nonchalant when face to face with goalkeepers.

    Also i hope our forwards will score a tiny bit more in the future cause we certainly coud use a Van Basten or a Morientes type right now : someone who can score a goal every two or three chances cause even though Henry, Anelka and co are very good forward, it takes WAY TOO MUCH chances to score a goal.
    Benzema might be the type.

    you know who would have scored both times on those 2 Henry opportunities?

    i'll give you a hint, he plays in italy and hates domenech.

    i think a Benzema + mystery man partnership would have worked wonders last night.

    While I agree with what's written above, I also think part of Henry's ineffectual performance is due to his role at his club. At Barca, he has been playing on the left wing for the majority of the season, and yesterday obviously that wasn't his role. While Henry's glory days have been as a central striker, if I were Domenech, I wouldn't be adverse to getting him on the wing or off-center a little, while having a more efficient Trez/Benzema as the main striker in the middle.
