Thierry Henry had a great night last night. Arsenal beat FC Porto 2-0 at home and is top of Group G, while Henry registered his 50th goals in European competitions in his entire career. Still, the Frenchman advised the gunners' fans that most of their home matches will see the team struggling to beat their opponents. Why?

"Perhaps when you play football like we do, opposition teams know that if they come out against us, they might get hammered... so they
just look not to lose against us. We kept cool, though, and I know there were times when our fans were getting frustrated that we were not shooting
", said Henry for "The Sun".

The best player in the Premiership for the last 3 seasons advised the team's fans not to pay attention to critics and cheer for Arsenal even when things don't seem that right on the pitch.

"I think they might be listening too much to what other people are saying about us and they should stick with us - not only when it works, but also when it does not. I know the fans are on our side and I can understand their frustration, but we have to stay cool and play our game".

"It is what Arsenal is known for. It is our identity and I think that is important. Sometimes you will win, sometimes you will lose, but you cannot be happy about the way we play when we win, and upset with our style when we lose, because it is the same", added Henry.

The Frenchman managed to score his first goal for Arsenal on the Emirates Stadium on the 9th of September. Arsenal then drew 1-1 against Middlesbrough in their first Premiership match on the new arena.
