Jordan Henderson, MBE: World Club Cup, European Cup, European Super Cup, Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup & Charity Shield Winning Captain of Liverpool (and massive sellout)

[Ranxerox]

Rogers made him Liverpool captain and Southgate England captain.

The case for the prosecution rests, m'lud.

 

Klopp has kept him in the role though. Must have something going for him.

[MOGLET]

Henderson is to captaining LFC  what SG is to playing in goal.

Henderson is to captaining LFC  what JC is to speaking posh

Henderson is to captaining LFC  what ISIS is to womens rights

 

I could go on all night on this subject.

by all night you meant from 21:40 to 21:41.

Klopp is great and i want to give him a chance because he has done some really good things here, but produce a team with any resilience or game management sufficient to challenge for top honours he has not. So much so, that i have trouble in thinking that we will make top 4 this season because we are less balanced than the manc clubs, spurs and Chelsea.

Henderson's captaincy was something he left rather than something he choose imo. As has already been discussed well, we lack leaders in our established players, although personally, I'd give it to Mane.

If you're disappointed spare a thought for all the ladies he's wooed using that line.

What has Mane done to become a great captain apart from being a good player?

 

That suggestion shows how pointless being a captain is.  

[Pureblood]

He'll never be accepted as captain here.  It's a shame because we're always at our best when the fans are behind the team.

[Funkasy]

Reports are that he had to come back from ANC and asked for a team meeting so they could discuss how to stop the rot that started in january. the skipper was at the toilet the whole meeting. 

 

i could be making the last part up.

No, it's just bad suggestion, a decent captain like Hyppia or Gerrard is an asset,  The only serious alternatives at the moment are Milner or Lallana , Given Milner is not starting and Lallana crocked the whole debate is pointless .

How long do you take to post a reply?

I said I could, I didnt say I would. The list is endless as to what JH gives to the team as a captain, if you think otherwise, then you are only bullshitting yourselves.

 

Do the words, "Could" mean something else to you two then?

1 minute, was that not obvious from my reply.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Henderson isn't so much Captain Mainwaring as he is Private Pike.

 

Nice boy.

The toilet part was definitely true!

As for you magic, hyy pia and Gerrard were decent captains but for different reasons imo.

Sami organised and directed, Gerrard led by example. Both are leadership qualities and although Mane would seem to me to fall more within the lead by example category, i also see some fight in Mane where he could step up to the role of directing, berating or encouraging as appropriate.

The whole debate is far from pointless because you failed to see that Henderson cannot inspire with his ability on the pitch, as Mane can, and neither can he offer any solutions or leadership, other than a Spearing point, in adversity.

He is also a shithouse. The captain of our club is a shithouse. Perhaps you think that sends out a different message to me?The captaincy debate is pointless? But the captain is a shithouse and we are defensively unsound when our captain is the defensive midfielder, insofar as we have one?

 

I do like the suggestion of Lallana, however.

[TheHowieLama]

Certainly reads not only this forum but every news clipping available.

 

Was constantly seen chirping in the ref's ear tonight - Captains performance.

Doubt it mate because he clearly jumped out of tackle last night in the 2nd half which lost us the ball and allowed them to attack.

 

I could get past the fact that he's mainly a water carrier playing the roll of our main man in midfield if he didn't jump out of tackles all the time.

 

(Before anyone says I don't expect the lad to break his legs diving in I'm talking about winnable 50/50s which he dives out of regularly and which are bread and butter for a midfielder)

[razor]

Henderson wasn't the problem last night.

 

And he played well.

 

And he played like a captain.  If nobody had worn the armband and you had to identify the captain based on what you saw, you could have easily done it.

[Mr T]

Henderson is up there with Phil Neville and Jay Spearing as one of the all time great pointers in the game. 

[an tha]

To be fair to him his last two performances have been better.

[VladimirIlyich]

To be fair to him his last two performances have been better.

I agree with this,but knew that late tackle thing would be brought up as a stick to beat him with. Watching our games this season and the appalling refereeing performances that have accompanied them has indicated to me that those tough tackling midfield players have been killed off. Referees are constantly being conned and punishing ridiculously little contact between players therefore making the modern game close to being contact free. Midfield players have much different criteria to be judged by and raging into a referees ear means nothing as its simply an indicator of yet another crap refereeing performance.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Played well last night.

[Lee909]

Played fairly well last night.

Can on the other hand was fucking shocking and a complete liability in his own half. Considering the money spent in the midfield its pretty shite. Offers very little either way.

[razor]

Can was at fault for their goal.  Faffing about on the touchline and knocking it back into play, from which we harshly conceded the free kick.

 

He is taking too many touches at the moment.

[VladimirIlyich]

Can shouldn't be in the squad if he isnt going to sign a contract,and his form has been shit for weeks.
