Seems that now Henry has gone the team are working harder / scoring more goals.

I found Henry quite often lost interest in tough games where he had to work to find space and that attitude reflected on the team as a whole.

Should have sold him sooner (for more money).

Often the case. One man does not make a great team, however good he is.

Couple of other examples:

Eric Cantona leaving Man United and Wayne Rooney leaving Everton.

Last year he was quite a lazy player which meant the taem had to work harder to play him in exactly the way he wanted it. The team work a lot harder to get round the park now and that is why we are creating more chances (oh and the fact that our midfield have just realised that you are allowed to shoot wink )

Watching Adebayor on Saturday (off the ball) he reminded me of a bit of Henry's laziness in his latter years. I really hope that he doesn't go that way as he is a talented striker. Hopefully as the season goes on, he will start getting in the right places at the right times.

Very rarely do we have RVP or Adebayor between penalty spot and 6 yard box for cut backs from Sagna and Clichy... I reckon we miss at least one or two goalscoring opportunities in this area every match. More often than not, they are jogging/walking around the 18 yard box. Eduardo offers the predatory option but AW doesn't seem to inclined to play him at the mo....

Not complaining though! Just a thought, and if we are to maintain the lead, one I think should be taken into consideration.
