What makes Henry tick?

AFP, Paris
Thierry Henry's standing as one of the most phenomenal strikers of recent times is undisputed -- so why does his seemingly effort-less ability to find the back of the net for Arsenal desert him the minute he dons a France shirt?
The schizophrenic nature of Henry's form -- seven goals in eight matches for Arsenal this season compared to two from ten run outs for Les Bleus since the start of the year -- was taken up by L'Equipe on Thursday 48 hours before France meet Ireland in a World Cup qualifier.
"Henry's fantastic for the Gunners, but a lot less so or almost not at all for les Bleus," L'Equipe wrote.
"How can he be exceptional when playing on a Saturday, off-colour when playing (for France) midweek, and return to his best the following Saturday?" the paper asked.
His Arsenal teammate Dennis Bergkamp put forward the following theory.
"With Arsenal, Thierry evolves in a system where everyone knows what he's got to do.
"Obviously France play less instinctively -- without that cohesiveness all you're left with is the players' ability.
"On top of that a striker always depends on the service he gets -Thierry's never more dangerous than when we give him the ball on the first touch.
"That's when he finds space -to line up a second striker with an attacking midfielder is a mistake."
The Dutch striker added: "Thierry has talked a lot about the France team. He's not happy with their system of play - he'd prefer if it was more like ours."
Another Arsenal teammate, Robert Pires, told the paper: "A striker is reliant on the output from
the rest of his team.
"At Euro 2004 we tried to find our balance throughout the whole competition without success.
"The way the ball was moved around wasn't fluid -- and 'Titi's never stronger than when he's being served the ball quick and low."
The 27-year-old player himself remains silent on the issue -preferring to keep his own counsel especially having been stung by suggestions that he was the orchestrator of an anti-Zidane campaign.
Former France great Jean-Pierre Papin meanwhile believes he has the answer.
"To solve the problem all you have to do is put all the Arsenal players in the France team!"
On a more serious note the ex Marseille and AC Milan striker said: "France needs time to rebuild - but she doesn't have any."
