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)

[Boss]

I reckon Klopp will like Henderson and Milner. His Gegenpress is renowned as being one of the most physically taxing in football. He demands a massive amount from his players physically and there aren't many players fitter in this league than Milner and Henderson. Milner could be his Kuba.

[stringvest]

He likes players with bottle though, and Henderson doesn't have any.  

[Section_31]

Happy cry, sad cry or ambivalent cry?

Happy, like sound of music style happy.

Klopp will transform Henderson.

 

He's a transformer.

 

He's Klopptimus Prime.

[Mr T]

Henderson has a big chance to be a very good player under Klopp. He needs to do three things.

 

Start taking the simple chances that he regularly misses currently, make forward runs more often and stop his Jay Spearing pointing tribute act.

[Etienne77]

Henderson will have to prove himself like everyone else. What we've seen of him so far suggests he's got a lot of improving to do. I can't see it. He's bog standard average just like rest of the midfield we have. The new man has a lot on sorting that lot out. That said the way the the other fella fucked about with his fucked up formations who's to say a settled side with players in their correct positions couldn't kick on.

[stringvest]

I'll be amazed if any one of our players doesn't look better under Klopp.

[VladimirIlyich]

Problem with our midfield is that Hendo and Milner are pulling in £250k a week between them. No way are we shifting either of those two easily and I don't think the board are going to want our club captain and 'big' summer signing sitting in the reserves. Best get Milner on the wing I think and let Can/Hendo compete for a place next to Lucas.

 

I'd sooner see us sign a quality goalie in Jan and look at bringing in a top defender and dm in the summer when we'll have the money to make a difference. A strong German spine is what this team needs with the high energy technical players hovering around it.

Does Hummels sound a bit like Himmler to you?

[Saintslfc13]

Until January when he'll give the armband to Hummels.

Interesting you say that. We all know the Reus rumours are going to be bigger than ever now but I have to say, if it's Klopp, I think the two players he'd go after first from Dortmund would be Hummels and Gundogan. It's not that I don't think he'd want Reus here but I think either of those too might be deemed more necessary than him to start. Gundogan next to Can or Lucas with Coutinho or Firmino in front of them, the other out wide left and whoever we decide can play the other flank (Milner, maybe even Henderson off top) and Sturridge as the loan striker could be a potent attack and solid midfield. Benteke could also play as the striker if he wants to try Sturridge on the right.

 

I also think Markovic might be actually given a chance in his best position now assuming we don't sell him after his loan.

[Iceman]

This fucking dude better sign or we look like massive slags.

I agree with that. I think if he wants to play 4-2-3-1 we'll see Milner in a wide position with Can in midfield.

[VladimirIlyich]

I think Klopp will look at the players he has before deciding on a formation. If he doesnt feel they are capable of what he wants he accomodate this until he is able to do what he likes.

Top managers do that.

One of my problems with Rodgers when he first came in, he was implementing tactics and formations he didn't have the personnel for

hahaha I nearly swallowed my chewing gum laughing at that.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Two years ago he was an important part of an irresistible attacking force.

 

What the fuck is he even supposed to be now?

[chrisbonnie]

He's been rubbish since this heal injury.

 

I actually fear for his future. Funny, didn't Ferguson say something about Henderson getting injured due to his funny run, or something to that effect?

[stringvest]

Nothing to do with his injury and everything to do with not having Suarez in the team making a load of shitehawks look like world beaters. Henderson is gash.

[Grinch]

Playing with an injury and still slightly less shit than the other two in centre midfield.  We can talk about moving on Henderson when Can, Milner, Lucas and Allen aren't at the club.

[stringvest]

Grinch, I admire your pluck, but by gum..

[AngryOfTuebrook]

My thinking too.

 

As with other players, he punched above his weight when he had Suarez. He's not man enough to step up to the plate without that inspiration and leadership.

[ZonkoVille77]

He's fuckin shite

None of them are mate

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

None of them are mate

Lucas is the closest we get at the moment. In 6 months maybe Firmino. And of course I expect a couple of new players with leadership qualities to be brought in.

[Red House]

Someone should let him know that professional footballers are allowed to run more than 5 meters with the ball at their feet. He's so shit scared of getting dispossessed on the ball that all he does is just standing still whenever he receives the ball and straightaway playing a long hopeful pass even when there's nothing really on ahead of him.

Also let him know that captaincy is more than just whining pointlessly at every refereeing decision.

That's what annoys me most about Hendo. He really doesn't fancy himself in tight situations, and his technique isn't refined enough for him to pull off one touch football consistently.
