Theo often left Sagna exposed in the days when our defence was even more of a shambles and you won't often see him chasing down a defender or drifting back to help out.
I'm not comparing overall ability. That should be obvious. I'm just talking about defending. Henry wouldn't do the 'dirty work' as he called it but I wouldn't make a sweeping statement and suggest there was something wrong with his work ethic. You get some players that are like that. And I don't see why when using a player as an example, we have to get into overall ability. We're just talking about specific areas of their game. You get strikers that aren't the defensive marauding type. Henry wasn't one. Ibra is another example and we could extend that comparison to wingers, like Sanchez vs Pires. Different types of players. That's the comparison. It's like me saying Henry and Theo are both quick players. That's an obvious comparison as the type of players they are. I'm not comparing records and achievements. Just attributes and traits.
