“It is going to be a difficult task for Arsenal this time and it is vital that everyone keeps the faith,” Henry told The Sun on Tuesday.

“The reason I say that is because the boss still has great faith in his players and if there is one man who Arsenal can trust to do the right thing, it’s Arsene Wenger.

“He is the man who has put Arsenal on to the European map. Nobody else could have achieved what he has done there.

“The fans should remember that and give him more credit. Some people gave him a hard time last season and he didn’t deserve that.

“I know how those supporters feel. Like them, I am Arsenal through and through and we all suffer when the team doesn’t win anything.

“Everyone wants immediate success and after four seasons without a trophy, Arsenal supporters have become impatient.

“All I can say to them right now is to have faith in Arsene and know that the first trophy in five years will be more enjoyable than ever.”
