Arsenal captain William Gallas has backed young midfielder Cesc
Fabregas by agreeing that Arsenal are a better team without Thierry
Henry.
The Gunners are currently sitting on top of the table after many
experst predicted they would struggle without the prolific
Frenchman up front. But Henry's absence has led to the emergence of
the likes of Fabregas, van persie and Adebayor into world class
performers.
Gallas told The Sun : "Thierry leaving has definitely led the young
players to take on more responsibility.
"You can see it in Robin Van Persie and Emmanuel Adebayor
particularly.
"When Thierry was here we played more for him, which was normal
given his talent.
"The fact he has gone has forced other players to accept more
responsibilities.
"Having learned a lot by playing alongside Thierry, they are
showing their ability now."
