From 117 games it is mediocre. Genuine top players would be scoring better than a goal every two games or offer a lot more. Chief Cheateur has been an anonymous figure in every France game I've watched, or listened to on the radio such as against Ireland.
Was it Marlon Harewood?
Couldn't give a ****. Most players take potshots from long range. The CDMs are notorious for trying to walk the ball into the net - which means when they finally do shoot they're usually very good chances.
Voronin.
Because it's meaningless statistic as it all depends on what sort of % shots the player takes. Oh wait you'll ignore that because you can't argue with it.
It's not like it's a small sample, it's not like he didn't score frequently and only shot when it was an easy chance. I don't think his goals/shot % was on his mind when he was running through on goal, I don't think it featured in his decisions to take an extra touch or square it across the box.
Regardless, there are only two players who are still playing international football who have scored more goals than him, and having played in a similar amount of matches. Those two being Stern John and Carlos Pavon, neither of which are better than Henry, I'm sure you'll agree.
Would just like to link to This thread, as this argument has been done to death on here, and it would be a shame if it ****ed up any more threads
Particularly amusing the start of that thread, because it was when Henry got the winner against United.
to be brutally ****ing honest.
A player with good finishing would obviously take fewer shots, being the most obvious answer to that.
Yes I'm well aware that at this basic level of evolution humans have reached the 'obvious answer' is generally bollocks.
