According to Henry, the team's inability to sign a top-class striker has been a major issue, despite the fact that many fans and experts have been calling for one. This, combined with injuries to key players like Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz, has made it difficult for the team to perform well. Henry thinks that with the right signings, the team could have done better.

Henry pointed out that Manchester United have been more successful in recent years, reaching five finals in the last five years, while Arsenal have not reached a final in the last three years. He understands that people are starting to question the team's progress, but he is not saying that he is disappointed.

Henry also expressed his confusion about the team's decision not to sign a striker, especially after drawing 14 league games which could have been won with better firepower. He believes that the team needs a top-class striker to compete with other teams.
