Gerrard and Henderson injured

[Jairzinho]

When we sign Alonso hopefully Gerrard will allow himself to be moved forward to accommodate him.

 

I think you've, indirectly (I'm not suggesting you're not capable of doing so directly!), made a good point. Gerrard probably doesn't rate the rest of the midfielders (no doubt many will think rightly so). But it shouldn't be his decision to attempt to make up for that.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I guess we'll never really know. Maybe Rodgers will be the one who 'transfers' Gerrard into a bit-part role.

[DanDanShaw]

Would anybody leave Lucas out?  Allen and Hendo (if fit) deeper with Alberto slightly further forward?  We look much better without Lucas in our team in the last 2 games - I don't wish injury on anybody, but I think Allen, Hendo and Alberto will be a much better 3 than the usual Lucas, Gerrard and Hendo.

Not agsinst Spurs and City I wouldn't. These two games could get real ugly imo

[Tony Moanero]

Pack the midfield.

Yes, precisely.

 

At home to Norwich, fine.

[Lee909]

Pack the midfield.

Im thinking packing the goal.

Brad Jones and Mignolet

I doubt Henderson is going to start, he has a minor injury but that will still affect his fitness. For his amount running, any drop in fitness level is critical to his game play.

 

However with Lucas / Allen / Alberto(will he?) starting, he should be subbing for Lucas or Alberto depends on score if he is fit enough for the bench.

I'd start him in this (if possible) and rest him for the next game.

So do I. But there is barely any info we have on his injury other than a protective cast. I guess this is BR's strategy to hide the possible starting XI from the media

[DanDanShaw]

It really shows how far Henderson has come since he's been here.

[stringvest]

Is Henderson definitely out? I haven't seen confirmation of this anywhere.

Don't think so. He's still pretending he's heterosexual.

Not very, Dan.

[dennis tooth]

Henderson would be good as the most attacking midfielder. Unfortunately, he is playing with players who need him to be all over the pitch doing the leg work so he's so often in the wrong place at the wrong time.

What, more advanced than Gerrard and Coutinho? Than Moses/Sterling?

 

Yor shit, aaaah

[celeryBADboy]

Not worried at all by this, will cope I'm sure.

Looking at how well Shelvey is doing at Swansea, I think we could of done with him still being here. Would of done a good job and I love the way he plays, stylish player with a swagger. Hope we have a buy back clause on him as I can see him growing into a top top player.

He has done alright but it was the right decision to sell him. He does more bad than good stuff in a game.

[Jonjo Baldy]

I disagree he does as much good stuff as he does bad. He still has a lot of growing and maturing to do, and I think once he irons out some of his rash decisions and such he will be a fantastic player and one we may regret selling. He has the talent and attitude to succeed, just needs to learn the game.

Henderson is one of those players who always finds himself in the first team due to his quality.  We can sign as many players as we like, I bet my future PS4 he will always be in the first team as long as he's here.  He has had a solid start to the season in the engine room in my opinion.  The manager trusts him to do a job.  A bit like players like Ambrosini at AC Milan.  Outshone by team mates but trusted with his role in the team.  Quietly efficient.  Trusted by manager and team mates.  Know worramean?

I bet you sing yourself to sleep every night with we all dream of a team of hendersons to.

[SCOUSE TAPAS]

It s a joy to watch Suarez the genius.

[Mustangt125]

It pretty much comes down to all our midfielders, bar Gerrard, shit their paints the minute they get anywhere near the opponent's 18.

 

I haven't even seen Allen's miss against Everton and I dont dare watch it.  Grow some balls and score some goals.

He will be as good as Danny Murphy at his best. Not good enough defensively to be in central midfield and not good enough going forward to play in the free role.

 

As a general comparison, Coutinho is the same age as him. That should be level of our team.

I don't think cowardice is an accusation that can be upheld as far as Allen is concerned.  He's very confident in possession and is always showing for the ball.  I don't think he's afraid to take a shot on, either.  

[stringvest]

Agreed. Allen's no coward. I'm pinning my hopes on him really stepping up over the next few weeks.
