Sky Sports pundit Thierry Henry picked up on a number of points after Arsenal's 3-2 win over Crystal Palace on Thursday night, but his statement on Arsenal's divided dressing room caused the biggest debate among fans.
After the game, Henry noticed that certain players didn't celebrate after Alexis Sanchez's second goal.
"There is a division in the team," he said on Sky Sports. "He is asking them to come. 'Why are they not coming? Don't you want to celebrate?"
Then a video emerged showing how defender Laurent Koscielny didn't even move from his defensive position to celebrate with his teammate.

Twitter user and Arsenal fan Akhil Vyas uploaded a clip that 'blatantly' shows the French defender standing in his own half while others congratulated Sanchez.
As you can see in the following images, Koscielny just stands in his defensive position while other Arsenal players celebrate, a cause for concern according to Thierry Henry. Thoughts?

Fellow Sky pundit Graeme Souness then agreed with Henry's comments, saying that the Arsenal team look divided and Sanchez may just be the reason behind a lack of unity.
"That tells you there is a divided dressing room. That shows they aren't having Sanchez at the moment." Souness said.

"I only see that teams are 5-1 up, not 2-1 up. You are elated, you have just scored a goal. It is clear there is a dynamic in the dressing room that all is not well."
A section of fans questioned the pair's analysis of the celebration:
But what are your thoughts on the matter? Does this show divide in the Arsenal dressing room?
