Ronaldo vs Henry

[Dave]

Ronaldo is dominating the Premier League in ridiculous fashion right now. Henry did the same for some time at Arsenal.

 

Who wins?

Ronaldo. Henry was great at what he did, but some of the things Ronaldo does with the ball is just unreal.

[Tooj]

Since when did Ronaldo play in The Premiership? 

[Tooj]

I'd rather have had Bergkamp in his prime than both though.

I put his Christian name in the poll just for you. So rack off!

You never thought what Henry did was a bit special?

I don't think his actual dribbling is as good as people make out in all honesty. His positioning, shooting, pace and power are amazing. But for someone with his supposed ability with the ball at his feet he never really beats many people and fires home. Not that you can argue with the form he's in though, but you know what I mean.

Yes I did...which is why I said I thought he was great.

I think they're both similar though that they were fortunate enough to play in teams that suit their game down to the ground, for Ronaldo an aggressive, direct all out attack team, which reflects his game. And Henry, lots of movement in the rest of the team creating lots of room and options for him, which he thrived on.

[Taylor Swift]

I'm abstaining. I think that these arguments can't really be done until after a few years (at least) after the players have peaked. It's way too early to judge how much of an impact Ronaldo is currently having on football in general.

[Ronaldo]

Arsenal's system was tailor-made for Henry, great player but was never the best in the world

[Cronky]

Ronaldo's a very, very good player, but a tad over-rated. Most of the time, his team are much better than the opposition, and he gets time, space and opportunities to run at defences with the ball. In those situations, he's devastating. When the opposition is stronger and he's got someone right up against him the second he receives the ball, it's a different story.

 

It gets said that he doesn't produce on the big occasions. I'd say he finds it hard to produce against the best teams.

 

As a player who'll help you win the League, he's extremely valueable. If I had to pick one player to help win the Champions League Final, I'd go for Rooney. He'll do it whatever the opposition.

[Colos Short and Curlies]

Individually probably Henry, for me though Ronaldo adds that little je ne sais qua to the whole team which Henry never quite managed.

 

A gnats pube between them though

That's why he is often average in top European games.

Despite Henry being French, and Cristiano Portuguese?

Henry was all about the Va va voom man

[Parky]

You see if Man Utd wasn't dominating a game I'd doubt if Ronaldo would be as able to turn a match as Henry did for Arsenal.

[Guest Can]

henry is not as good as people make him out to be (he had flashes of class) went missing for long periods in games, was not good against big clubs in general the arsenal team made him look better then he was (nearly always sucked when he played for france)...horse face nistelrooy was a better forward imo and has been a success in all the leagues he has played in.

 

in there prime...except ronaldo

 

Bergkamp>>Ronaldo>>R.V.N.>>Henry

[The College Dropout]

In the bigger matches Rooney is the inspirational one. He may not score but he dominates the match.

Good point.

[The College Dropout]

Bergkamp is a magnificent player but he wasn't as good as Henry when he was at his peak.

 

I thought people stopped saying Henry didn't perform in the big matches when he scored 2 against Chelsea..

[fredbob]

In my opinion Bergkamp was more talented than Henry but Henry got the absolute maximum out of his talent.

 

Ronaldo for me, i think this big game thing is a bit of a myth, although no doubt there are stats whihc may show otherwise, but that game against Roma last year was one of the single best perfomrances ive seen from an individual for awhlie ( I know Smith got one as well but....)

Arsenal were dominated in that game against Chelsea though - not necessarily the best match to make Henry's case.
