BREAKING NEWS CONFIRMED:“He got more than 7 chances from the 30 chances Arsenal created, he should have comfortably two or even got himself a hat trick”- Arsenal icon Thierry Henry names TWO Arsenal stars that could have scored a hat trick against West Ham if they had kept their composure.

Thierry Henry, the esteemed football figure, has identified a pivotal Arsenal player who had the chance to score ‘two or three’ goals in their recent 2-0 defeat against West Ham at the Emirates Stadium.

Despite controversy surrounding Tomas Soucek’s opening goal, with suggestions of the ball going out of play in the build-up, Arsenal faced setbacks from goals by Soucek and Konstantinos Mavropanos. The situation could have worsened if David Raya hadn’t saved Said Benrahma’s penalty after Declan Rice fouled Emerson in the box.

In addition to defensive challenges, Arsenal exhibited a lack of efficiency in front of the goal, registering 77 touches in the opposition box—a Premier League record for a team failing to score. Reflecting on the defeat and its potential impact on the title race, Henry expressed his belief that Gabriel Jesus, with only three goals in 14 appearances this season, missed numerous scoring opportunities. Henry acknowledged West Ham’s defensive prowess, highlighting their remarkable achievement of not conceding at the Emirates.

Henry also commended three West Ham players and the club’s recruitment strategy following the reinvestment of £105 million from the sale of Declan Rice to Arsenal. He pointed out Edson Alvarez’s contribution to team solidity, praised Jarrod Bowen’s role in winning free-kicks and controlling the ball, and recognized Mohammed Kudus for his ball retention skills that elevated the team’s play.

According to Henry, West Ham’s effective use of funds from Declan Rice’s transfer showcased their strategic success.
