Thierry Henry admitted his authorities as Arsenal captain used to intimidate young players. Arsenal's rising star Cesc Fabregas said earlier that Henry's move to Barcelona over the summer was to the benefit of the team. The Spaniard believes that some players felt discomfort playing alongside the Frenchman during his last days. "I agreed with them completely," Henry told the Sunday Telegraph. "Because of my seniority, the fact that I was captain and my habit of screaming for the ball, they would sometimes give it to me even when I was not in the best position." Arsenal were expected to slump even more after Henry's departure, but the Londoners impressed Europe with a string of fine performances coupled with good results. They are two points clear at the top of the Premiership with one match in hand. Arsenal also lead their Champions League group with six points from two games.
