The Gunners' legend admits he couldn't relate to that team, unlike now
Thierry Henry has admitted he only went to Arsenal games five years ago because he had to, not because he wanted to.
The Gunners' legend, who scored 228 goals in 377 appearances for the club and won two Premier Leagues and three FA Cups, says he felt disconnected during Unai Emery's reign at Emirates in 2018 and 2019.
"Five years ago, I couldn't relate to the team," Henry said on The Rest is Football podcast. "I just couldn't. I was going to the games because I had to, not because I wanted to. It was just because I was an Arsenal fan, not because I wanted to see them play. But now I can see what they're about."

With Arsenal currently sitting second in the league, the Frenchman feels that that 'feel good' factor has finally returned thanks to Mikel Arteta.
"I have mad respect for what Mikel has done," he continued. "The way he has put the team back."
Arsenal return to action against Chelsea on Saturday as they look to overtake North London rivals Tottenham at the top of the table.
