    Thumbs up Conor Henderson

    I searched for a thread for him but couldn't find one.

    He's an Irish under 19 international. Plays in centre midfield or wide left.
    Anyway, he's very highly rated at Arsenal and is on the bench today against Wigan. He only made his full debut for the Arsenal reserves this season so he's doing well.

    Profile of Henderson from Arsenal official site
    Criticism is prejudice made plausible

    played in the two recent friendlies VS Poland:
    April 6th: Ireland 4-2 Poland: http://www.fai.ie/index.php?option=c...r-19&Itemid=12
    April 8th: Ireland 1-0 Poland: http://www.fai.ie/index.php?option=c...r-19&Itemid=12
    It took an Irish attack of sublime quality in the 58th minute to break the deadlock. Substitute Conor Henderson split the vistors' defence with a threaded pass to Doran on the left, who in turn found Kearns in the box with his back to goal. The West Ham United forward turned his marker brilliantly and fired a low shot past Socha in the Poland goal.

    I understand that he has represented both ROI and England at youth level but recently declared for us. Maybe I was wrong about Wenger after all.

    Henderson came off the bench last night to set up the winner for Arsenal reserves: http://www.arsenal.com/match-menu/33...res?tab=report
    Sunu made it two five minutes later when he finished well from Conor Henderson’s centre. The substitute received the ball from Deacon inside the area and crossed for the unmarked French striker who side-footed home to cap a fine Arsenal move.

    Conor was left out of the Reserves squad this evening as he is likely to be in the first team squad for the 5th Round Replay tomorrow night.

    Played left hand side of midfield and right side for last 20 minutes when subs came on. Looked for the ball regularly and looked comfortable on it. Few in a few decent crosses and was on free kicks too. Put in a few challenges too.

    The best way to put it is that he that he didn't look out of place. Although this was a bit of a cakewalk against a League 1 side, the major benefit Henderson will get out of it, is that Wenger will be more willing to throw him against better opposition.

    I thought he looked very comfortable on the ball and, as others have said, did not look out of place either.

    Someone on BBC text updates said he was making Beckham-esque deliveries.

    from Sky Sports text commentary
    Code:
    02 minutes	Arsenal get their passing game going as Bendtner and Henderson combine, but a forward ball cannot quite find Chamakh's run into the penalty area.
    03 minutes	Diaby tries his luck from 25 yards, but it is blocked by the legs of Chorley. All Arsenal in the opening few minutes.
    10 minutes	Arsenal move to the opposite end of the field and win a corner. Rosicky's delivery lacks any real pace and Orient can clear without any real fuss. Henderson involved in the build-up.
    18 minutes	Good defending from Chorley as he stops Chamakh from meeting a Henderson cross from the left. Chamakh looks as if he is a little winded from the challenge.
    26 minutes	Orient have struggled to get out of their half in the last five minutes. Arsenal are just lacking the final ball for a second goal.
    38 minutes	Free-kick to Arsenal 30 yards from goal. Daniels floored Bendtner. Henderson to take the kick.
    39 minutes	Henderson curls the free-kick into the six yards box with his left foot, but it is just too high for his team-mates and Jones catches.
    45 minutes	ADDED TIME: There will be a minimum of two minute minutes added time before half-time.
    45 + 2 minutes	Chorley booked for a studs up challenge on Henderson near the centre circle. Correct decision. Nasty challenge.
    Half Time	Feekins has had a busy first half of research. He tweets @SkySportsPeteF: "265 caps between the 8 full internationals on the pitch for #afc. An under-strength XI? Henderson not such an odd choice now."
    55 minutes	Not a bad few minutes for Orient as another corner causes problems, but Gibbs is able to clear, in slightly panicky fashion, the delivery.
    81 minutes	Henderson has not set the world alight tonight, but neither has he done anything wrong. He has kept things simple which is all Wenger will have asked of him.
    82 minutes	Nasri wins another Arsenal corner. Henderson takes before eventually crossing with a delivery that just misses Squillaci.
    90 minutes	ADDED TIME: There will be a minimum of four minutes added time before the final whistle and confirmation that Arsenal will face United.
    90 + 1 minutes	It has taken 91 minutes, but Orient have their best chance of the match as Cox plays a great give and go with Carroll and forces Almunia to tip behind. The resulting corner is cleared.

    Looks like he did okay. Hope he can get a few Premier League games in, before the end of the season.

    UK Times quotes Wenger as saying "technically he is of the standard we require". Times is a subscription site now so I can't post the link.

    It doesn't sound like much, but I'd take it as quite a compliment.

    I'm struggling to recall last Irish player to play for Arsenal. Stokes didn't get game time did he? It cannot be Eddie McGoldrick?! That was years ago.
    "If God had meant football to be played in the air, he'd have put grass in the sky." Brian Clough.

    You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
