Can Arsenal win the UCL & EPL this season?
Henry stressed that the quality available off the bench is the single biggest difference-maker for Arsenal this year.
“That’s what the team is about. I do believe when you go through a season that you need your bench to bail you out,” Henry said on CBS Sport.
“If I say bail you out, it’s not so much bail you out, that’s why Goncalo Ramos signed for Paris Saint-Germain, big money, you come on the field and try to change the game when you’re called upon.”
Henry concluded that this impressive depth is why he is optimistic about Arsenal’s title prospects.
“This is why I think Arsenal, this year, have big chances to win stuff because the bench will change the game for you.”
