If Henry is fit he has to play over Whyte. You mention his 10 assists which is all well and good but if he hadn't been playing then in such an attacking team that could have been matched and maybe they'd have scored some goals as well. Across Whyte's career in England he's got a 1 goal every 10 games record, he's just not a good finisher. Henry has the best final ball at the club and is a great goalscorer as well, even if he doesn't have the pace of Whyte.I disagree with Whyte , yes he has missed chances but was extremely unfortunate against Plymouth and is a real danger .His assists this season are impressive and we look slow without him around the front line ( Taylor , Bodin , Henry )
Kane is quality but has been a bit below par but could still pull the strings .
I'm not sure Whyte's pace is a huge asset either, he doesn't seem as quick as before and often ends up checking back anyway, he certainly doesn't make the most of it.
