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)

Just been on the radio saying how tired and exhausted he was for parts of the season, but he's ready to go now for England and their two big games this week against Malta and North Macedonia.

 

FUCK OFF.

 

Is he for real?

 

"Probably after the World Cup was the toughest period. In January and February energy levels were quite low for me. That’s a big part of who I am and having a lot of energy on the training field.

 

"I felt that dipped especially in the New Year so it was a tough period. 

 

"I now feel really good after having a week or two of training on my own and doing my own things just to be ready for this camp. Physically and mentally I feel in good shape now."

[johnsusername]

More nonsense.

 

When asked if he considered retiring from international football after the World Cup, Henderson said: "No. I suppose you will know when you start maybe not playing or having an impact in the team and that is when you have the conversation and thoughts about what is best to do.

 

"For me, I still love and enjoy coming away and representing my country and I want to do it for as long as possible. I still feel as though I’ve got a big role on and off the pitch and I really love it.

 

"Physically I feel in a really good shape but it took a lot out of us this year with the World Cup. That was the same for a lot of players regardless of age."

Nobody is bigger than the club.

sadly, he will be there as long as southgate is manager, because southgate needs someone to look after the players for him while he checks out hotels.

I love Henderson but he's not good enough any more for England, he will maybe do a milner role for us for a season adequately. He's no milner he's just not built that way. If he wants to extend his club career he should retire from international football. He needs to reign it in.

He just shouldn't be involved with that shitshow at all and he should have that choice of Liverpool or England given to him. If he wants to carry on with them then he has to accept the consequences of that decision. He can fuck off if he does though.

Our club. 'Your continued availability for selection with England will jeopardise your playing time,and possible captaincy,for Liverpool.'

It's why I'm not the manager as that is the abridged version. And I like the lad.

I would,if they asked me to. Or they can let Jurgen do it more diplomatically.

He would never do it, that's the point.

I know,but I think he should. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Klopp would never ask a player to not play for his country and nor should he should just say after every international you need rest see you next season.

Uh, yeah.

Bet he can't wait to belt out God save the king at full voice.

Jordan Henderson = Forrest Gump

[joe_fishfish]

I don't care if he plays for England or not really, I'm more surprised that he actually still gets in the team.

Ingerlund are shite and international football is a massive step down from top club football.

Which is why I don't understand the eagerness to play for your respective countries. Alongside you not being paid for it. Although I do suspect that international call ups and appearances are rewarded through your club deals or sponsorships nowadays.

Do you think it’s all about money?

Malta and North Macedonia are his level. Henderson can probably do a (reasonable if unspectacular / mostly ineffective) job against this bunch of postmen.

It's a complete anathema to me but for most professional players representing your country is hugely important, possibly still the peak in a lot of cases.

If the consequences of any ultimatum are that he would no longer be first choice for us then I guess we're hoping that will happen from next season anyway?  Just have to leave him be now.

Nowadays,yes in a fair amount of cases. Money has polluted the game in so many ways. I'd also say that as somebody who has little time for England that there will be a fair amount of resentment among those players towards what they earn and various deals going on.

For me I have absolutely no issue that he wants to play for England. But I'd also have no issue with klopp telling him he is now at the bottom of the selection pile as we need to manage his body, he can remain club captain, but we're selecting a new team captain as we don't expect him to do so many minutes. Then he effectively gets the choice of if he wants to keep playing for England and live that life. Keep with England and find a new club. Or fight for his future at this club. What shouldn't be happening, is we accept his continued sub-par energy and performance levels because he never gets a rest ans is too old to recover.
