PST Player of the Week: Red Bulls’ Thierry Henry (again)

Sometimes the world makes no sense. Like Lionel Richie adding a country twist to his old songs? Seriously?

So I appreciate things that make perfect sense. Like Thierry Henry as ProSoccerTalk’s MLS Player of the Week. This is the universe in perfect alignment.

Because David Beckham can fuss and feud all he wants. D.C. United’s three DPs can stretch their goalless streak as far as they want (although Dwayne De Rosario seems ready to crack the code soon). Vancouver and that power pack attack can keep right on a’strugglin’ to turn up goals. None of this mess seems to add up, but who cares?

Not when Henry is proving that up is up and down is down, showing that some things work just as the big referee in the sky intended

World famous Frenchman. World Cup winner. Still among the world’s upper echelon striker’s – and the man now leading MLS goal scorers, topping the chart while guiding his Red Bulls into the Eastern Conference safe zone.

Henry’s hat trick in the 5-2 win over Montreal is plenty to earn this former Gunner his second consecutive PST Player of the Week.

Past Winners:

Round 1: Kalif Alhassan, Portland
Round 2: David Estrada, Seattle
Round 3: Thierry Henry, New York
Round 4: Thierry Henry, New York

Also have to give a shout-out to Darlington Nagbe. Can’t be surprised Henry won with 3 goals plus a pass so sweet even Mehdi Ballouchy could score it, but Nagbe, in addition to two outstanding goals, was 35 for 36 on pass completions. You don’t see that very often.

  Nagbe was freakin’ on fire. Fantastic afternoon. But it really nicks a man’s chances when your team loses. Not his fault, of course … just a reality of the deal (FYI, you may or may not have seen that he made the Team of the Week.)

Bigger news story: some reporters DIDN’T vote for Henry as POTW. Most perplexing was the guy who voted for Eric Alexander, who I like but wasn’t even the best player on his team this week. Are these voters just trying to raise awareness of a player’s performance they liked? Don’t get it.
