That's the only area where Eto has made more impact than Henry but that's just only a couple of games and cannot be used solely to assess how good a player has been over hundreds of games.

To use your logic, Drogba has scored in way more finals than Eto'o, yet Eto'o is clearly rated above him. If only records in finals were used, then Drogba would be even a better player than Cristiano.

Etoo is rated above drogba because drogba was a Late bloomer

OJEEMAH:
The. You didn’t watch EPL 2001-2006

Between 2003-2007, how many European Golden Boot did Eto win?

How about La liga Too Scorer and Best Player award?

Henry was nominated for FIFA World Best in 2003 & 2004, what was Eto doing?

Etoo was also nominated
Dingho
Lampard
Etoo
Etoo is my goal machine
Henry was terrorizing England until he met Etoo in 2006 final
We all know how it ended.
Henry was wasteful
Etoo was clinical and decisive.
Henry can be bullied by central defenders
But not Samuel.
Am a Barca fan,they are both my players at a time

Eto didn’t send Henry to the flank. Rijkaad did to avoid causing problem. Meanwhile, Henry was already past his prime and he could operate from the wing unlike Eto.

If Eto joined Henry at Arsenal, he would have been benched or Wenger will tweak the formation to accommodate him by playing Henry from the wing.

It’s common sense and that’s what Rijkaad did

Aubameyang was manning our Central forward until lewandoski came,the first time they played together.
Aubameyang took the flank while lewandoski took the central position

fear players that do things in finals.
I remember during the 2010 world cup final
One guy was shouting at our viewing center
Hold iniesta hold iniesta.
Some who knew concurred
While some said,he can't do anything.
Until he did it and people now realized that he came prepared because he already printed a jersey which he was wearing inside.
These set of players are on another level.

OJEEMAH:
and Olympics & AFCON big pass World Cup, Euro and Confederations Cup right?

Do you realize that France had one of the Strongest 11 even without Henry in that ERA? Yet, Henry couldn’t score in any Major league Final or cup Final. Etoo did it like 5 different finals for Club and country. All these Mumu Arsenal fans think scoring 200 goals and dribbling luton is what makes a player great. My friend, if you cannot perform in Big and important games, you can never be the best. This is what differentiated players like Etoo, Zidane, Ronaldinho etc

Auba is not on Lewandoski’s level

So if Lewandoski join PSG right now, Mbappe go sit down for bench?

Or Benzema go sit down for bench if him join Madrid?

Tell yourself truth for once

Coaches respect big players and they go rathe look for way to play both or sell one instead

What of best player?

Because him score Arsenal for ucl final, he’s better

Henry goal knock Madrid and juventus out of UCL if you no know

Henry goal still knock Brazil out of 2006 WC

Cybertext:


You are capping... How many free kicks, assist, solo goals does Anelka have .. talk more of Eto self... Forget the tapping goals

anelka na teAm player while igwe na pure striker no cap

ThierryJay:


The 2005/06 Arsenal side that reached the final were relatively average. Viera had left. Gilberto, Pires & Berkamp were in their last year. That team was different from the invincibles.

Henry mainly played with young Fabregas, Hleb, old lungberg, Gilberto & Pires in the run up to that final.

that was the year after the invisibles. Yes viera had left but a team that was invisible a year ago couldnt have just become average all of a sudden.

Another thing people forget is that Henry started his career as a winger. It was Wenger that converted him to a striker.

I disagree with you on this. If you are opportune to watch the both of them play you will agree with me that Henry is a special phenomenon while Anelka is a good

OJEEMAH:
In a leaked video, Samuel Eto'o was heard claiming that Nicolas Anelka was a better player than fellow Frenchman Thierry Henry.

WHAT HAPPENED? When Eto'o opens his mouth nowadays, controversy is never too far away. In his latest take, which surfaced via a leaked video posted by Footballogue, the ex-Cameroon captain compared two of French football's most well-known strikers.

WHAT HE SAID: "I think Thierry Henry was not at the level of Anelka," he controversially claimed. "Titi was good, but I knew players... I preferred other players. In any case at my level, no."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Eto'o rarely featured during his time at Real Madrid with Anelka, spending the majority of his spell out on loan at the turn of the century. Comparatively, he spent two seasons playing alongside Henry at Barcelona.

WHAT NEXT FOR ETO'O? Given his long list of headline-grabbing comments, it surely won't be long before he steals the limelight with another interesting opinion. It will be interesting to see whether Henry or Anelka respond to the leaked video.

OJEEMAH:
Euro is bigger and better than 5 AFCON Can't be compared to Confederations Cup. Henry score and won against his country. In1998, Henry led Monaco to UCL semi final by scoring 7 goals. World is bigger than UCL. Eto won just 1 pinchichi compare to the 2 European Golden and 4 EPL Top Scorer Henry won Just so you know, Henry won treble too but treble is not an achievement. Man City has won treble without UCL so its useless.
EVEN Henry once said
Eto won Champions league with 2 clubs
Henry could not make Arsenal win one
He had to come to Barca at their peak to win it Your argument is flawed. Every single trophy Arsenal won during Henry's time, Henry led the team or competition with goals but we can't say the same for Eto. In 2005/2006 season, Ronaldinho led Barcelona to win UCL with 7 goals. In 2008/2009 season, Messi and Henry led Barcelona. Eto contributed 4goals while Henry that operated from flanked throughout the tournament scored 5. At Inter, It was Milito and then Sneijder contributed too. Even Thierry Henry once said, “If Eto’s name was Etodinho, that is if Eto was Brazilian- he would have won the Ballon D’Or” ….. because Eto was playing quality football that was out of this world at his peak! You don't even the difference between Balon D'or & FIFA World Best then. In 2003 & 2004, Henry was nominated for FIFA World Best and he finished second twice. Although Eto didn’t win the world cup does not mean, individually he was not an excellent player and among the world immortals of the beautiful game - Or because Messi didn’t win the world cup you want to conclude Fernando Torres who won the world cup with spain is a better player than Messi ? The comparison doesn’t work that way … World Cup or not, Eto is a step below Henry. If Thierry Henry had played International football for Guadeloupe where his parents are from originally, will he single handedly be able win the world cup for Guadeloupe ? so let’s stop rating Eto less because of Cameroun’s inability to win the world cup like France…. Leave World Cup cos you don begin make excuses for Cameroon. At Eto's peak, Barcelona was arguably the best club and strongest club in Europe. I want to know why he failed to win European Golden Boot after several attempts. Arsenal was not even the best in England but Henry won it twice.

When Henry won the the world cup in 1998, was he an outstanding player who scored important goals to win that tournament ? nope

it was the likes of Zinedine Zidane (Zizou) Stefan Guivarch, Lilian Thurman, Christian Karenbeau and others including Henry that shared the goals on their way to win the world cup This comment shows you dont know football. does Inconsequential players end up as their country's top scorer in major tournaments like the World Cup, Euro and Confederations Cup? Let me school you alittle cos its obvious you don't know football. In France 98, Henry topped goal chart for France. In Euro 2000, he was top scorer for France. Confederations Cup in 2003, he also finished as top scorer and was voted Player of the Tournament. Before i forget, he scored the winning goal against Eto's Cameroon. please respect your own African brother Eto I should ignore facts because of respect? Even Didier Drogba was better than Thiery You sound very ridiculous. If he played in France National Teeam, Drogba at his peak will bench Henry at his peak OMG!! If Eto played for France at his peak he will bench Henry at his peak Football no be for you. just go watch hockey. Anelka was a better player - na stubbornness na him destroy him career - any black man signed by Real Madrid as a striker is not an ordinary person and when you are given regular play time as a black man playing that forward role at Madrid, you are a very very special player - and that was Nicolas Anelka Even Giroud better pass Henry.

know this and know peace!

bro you have won - I give you 2 gold medals - I lost - happy now? God bless you - I dont have time to argue online and not get payed for it

dadabashua1:
the more you post ,the more of joke you look,you said a player that makes his national teams world cup squad and top scoring chart,also played two years later to help his team to win the euros,top his national team all time goal scorer,yet not a key or important player to such a team? I doubt the age you claim to be,you now beginning to sound like a toddler, pls don't make me regret replying you o,when you said 1998 you were almost a uni graduate trust me you raised my expectations I was like aha see one elder stateman,but your choice of words and points raised I'm highly disappointed, no offence intended, but I expected more to be honest

bro you have won - I give you 2 gold medals - I lost - happy now? God bless you - I dont have time to argue online and not get payed for it

engrchykae:
your village man analysis
A Samuel Etoo that played Central forward for Barca is the person you refer to as a local Cameroonian?
That position is played by the best of the best.
From the time of
Kluivert
Geovanni
Etoo
Suarez
Lewandoski
The least person to play that position is aubameyang.
Etoo is in the league of gods.
If you think rijkaard is stupid to play Etoo cf ahead of Henry
Is Pep also stupid?
As far as striking is concerned,Etoo is second only the Ronaldo de Lima

I guess you didn't watch Henry.

Na only Eto you watch.

DeLaRue:


Laughable.

In what planet could anyone say Anelka was more talented than Henry?

In which areas was he better than Henry.

Oga I don't blame u. When u start to watch football.. Go and check their teenage years. If not for knee injury Anelka for be Ballon dor winner..

Kingcalls:


It wasn't Nedved cos that award was sort of inconsequential that year...it was Zidane... balon dor wasn't a serious award that time...it was Fifa world player of the year that was the main award

Nedved won the balon dor 2003 and Zidane won Fifa world best player, 2003.
Two different awards and two different winners. Henry deserved the balon dor in 2003, but he lost to Nedved.

OJEEMAH:
Auba is not on Lewandoski’s level

So if Lewandoski join PSG right now, Mbappe go sit down for bench?

Or Benzema go sit down for bench if him join Madrid?

Tell yourself truth for once

Coaches respect big players and they go rathe look for way to play both or sell one instead

my point is that Etoo is a better central forward than Henry.
Henry is more of a winger than a central forward.
That's my point.

sageb:

No one is saying he dint deserve it.. but balon dor wasn't the top prize ... fifa player of the year was the top price.... balon d'or never came with ceremonies until it merged with fifa in 2009.... balon dor then was just the player being visited at his home or the player will visit them at their office to receive the award.... Balon dor was always viewed as a consolation award ... if Fifa player of the year award was champions league, balon dor was like Uefa Cup.... when Owen won it in 2001 , he dint even play in the champions league, he played in the uefa Cup and won it with Liverpool against Alaves in the final with Alaves great, moreno scoring a hat trick that night, but still lost to Liverpool... despite Owen winning it, the still refer Ronaldo as the only winner from England, cos Ronaldo win the last fifa player of the year award b4 they merged with balon dor... the merging of both was what gave balon dor reputation

At youth level, Anelka might be better but afterwards..... king henry all the way, even after retirement.

Eto is GOATED...4 champions league.
Henry couldn't singlehandedly hand a team champions league. He ran to Barca to get his hand on one.

Eto was also African footballer of the year 4 times, Henry no European footballer of the year. If Eto was a European, he'll definitely be more idolized although Henry is 10 times better than Anelka but not better than Eto. FACTS

dadabashua1:
list them bro..Henry has won in France,England,Italy and Spain. Oya list the one of Eto pls

Eto won back to back treble in 2 consecutive years with two clubs. You're officially a clown
