Thierry Henry, is not playing for a few weeks now, and he wont be playing for a further few weeks.
In that time, our form has been very dodgy with a lot of mixed results.
In keeping with this trend I am worried about us holding on to the third spot, but I dont want Henry to be hurried into the team when not totally fit either!!
What do you think should be done with Henry, and do you think we can hold on to third spot till the return of Henry??

Buddy, that is not happening as of now atleast.
And as far as the latest reports, Henry is targeting the FA Cup match against Liverpool for his return. So that is not too far off. However I hope we win all the matches till then!!
Here's cheering for Arsenal!!
Arsenal, Arsenal
We Love you Arsenal!!

Ya, I saw that (Henry's return date) on Arsenal's official website (in the Injury News section). However, Henry himself has added in the article that it could take longer than that match against Liverpool for him to return. Anyways, I think Arsenal are slowly learning to play without their talisman (Henry, obviously) and I think that is a very good development. I loved the free-flowing football that Arsenal played yesterday, in their 6-2 demolition of Blackburn Rovers. However, I would first like to see them playing like that, consistently, like they played in their "INVINCIBLE" season!!
Well, the immediate task for Arsenal (my viewpoint) is that they climb back to third place in the League. Fourth is a rather risky position to be in!!

No doubt, Henry is the heart and soul of the Gunners. I do support Wenger's policy of bringing in youngsters and forming a young, energetic team. When the squad is sorted out, the Gunners' strength will last for years, and it's a good thing to ensure the long-term success of the club. I would love to see Arsenal setting a new record for successive number of unbeaten matches, but at the moment, Arsenal seem to only find their stride every once in a while. Players like Van Persie and Adebayor are unpredictable in terms of what their performance will be; and Arsenal's defence is playing Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Sometimes they are rock solid and other times they are just, well- woeful. Nonetheless, I think this year's campaign will be a two-horse race between United and Chelsea. Arsenal should be in third if things go right for them.
