Henry, on the other hand, either seems to state the patently obvious, or mildly annoy the likes of Graeme Souness, whose face always speaks a thousand words. On Sunday, whilst analysing Arsenal's thrilling 4-3 defeat to Liverpool, Henry made a number of observations which fell awkwardly flat with his fellow pundits.
Perhaps the most cringeworthy moment was this one, in which Souness is waxing lyrical about Liverpool's attacking verve. You can see Henry formulating an opinion and just waiting for an opportunity to get it out and impress his colleagues with a devastating insight. And then finally he gets his chance...
"You have to give [Georginio] Wijnaldum a lot of credit also there...", he interjects. Jamie Redknapp just stares blankly, whilst Souness looks like someone has just heckled him during a wedding speech. Henry looks floorwards as a few seconds of silence seem like an eternity. There's even laughter back in the studio.
Let's hope the chemistry improves during the year, or this could be a very long season...
Remember when we all thought Thierry Henry was impossibly cool and not at all awkward? pic.twitter.com/5B5ddt404G
