Thierry Henry's Confidence Issues

One would think that a player of Thierry's Caliber would find it rather easier to play in a league like MLS than he currently is . Form and Fitness can only be blamed for so much, but a player suffering from confidence issues can be poor despite his fitness level. If  a player looks lazy, leggy and awful with ball control, that is a form and fitness issue; however if a players looks good running at people and still has a bounce in his step, yet he continues to miss sitters, its a confidence issue. Henry was and still is one of the worlds best ball handling players, he takes on world class defenders leaving them in the dust no problems in and out of season. His finishing has been also one of his better assets, how else would you explain his goal scoring ratio?
Henry has not been playing regular soccer for over 6 months after suffering injury early in the 2009 season.
