Henry hang over from World Cup

Arsenal captain Thierry Henry accepts he hasn't been at his best this season.

Henry says a World Cup hangover is stopping him firing on all cylinders.
He explained: "I'm not completely myself. It's never easy after a World Cup, especially when you get to the Champions League final too. But I'm still there - with France, in Europe and in the Premiership.
"It's true that I'm still not sparkling. I haven't done any basic preparation - I went on the attack straight away and I'm paying for that at the moment. No player who went a long way in the World Cup is sparkling at the moment.
"The supporters expect more from me, and so do I. I feel like I've got over it all on the emotional level but perhaps my body hasn't completely recovered."
