He didn't want to leave - Klopp didn't want him to leave, the numbers meant we kept Hendo on who then bailed.

 

Milner got shafted.

Ok then

Yeah,I really hated those trophies!

He was a cog in a great side he allowed Trent to play the way he did. Showed his true colours as a person last year. To be fair he wasn’t the first limited player to do a job for the club and won’t be the last as you know.

He wasn't limited at all. He played a role for the club and played it extremely well. Limited players don't often Captain their club for years and lift trophies regularly. He was a very good player and far better than a lot of people give him credit for.

I’ll leave it there mate. No point me saying anymore.

[VladimirIlyich]

I would have loved to have been half as 'limited' as a player as Henderson. 

[joe_fishfish]

I hate Henderson nearly as much as Carvalho Diablo does and even I can admit that he was pretty good before his legs went. The biggest problem was that it happened about two and a half years before he left. We carried him for way too long.

[joe_fishfish]

Also he cares way too much about England. England are shite.

Can't see too much wrong with this. There were games he didn't play when we missed him. Unfortunately towards the end of his time here there were games when we missed him despite him being on the pitch. I still think if he didn't get sent off against City we would have won the title in 2014. 

 

Lot's off great memories of him, mostly lifting trophies so I can't hate the fella. He just wasn't Gerrard and a lot of people couldn't get their heads around that. Me included for a while. Also, that ball to Salah at Old Trafford was world class.

Very good player, fantastic captain and leader, world class knobhead.

Exactly this, and the sad aspect of it is that the last part could have so easily been avoided.

Ajax will play Bodø Glimt tonight in the Europa Conference League. 
 

Bodø Glimt have had a two month long winter break now, so this will be their first official game since they played Club Brugge in the last game of the group stage in the middle of December.

 

They have lost their best player and top goalscorer to San Jose in the MSL, and have got a few incomings so its difficult to say much about their quality at the moment.

Didnt take long for the Dutch to call him out. Interesting read actually, as it’s exactly the same things many on here has been pointing out for years. (Put it through Google translate)

Willem van Hanegem has spoken out about Jordan Henderson's services for Ajax so far. The Englishman made his debut for the Amsterdam team against PSV (1-1), but did not stand out very much at De Kromme, he says in the Willem & Wessel Podcast. - Advertisement - "Should I, like everyone else on television, say that he is so good before I have seen him play?" Van Hanegem wonders. "He's just a very mediocre player. That's all it is. What he showed against PSV wasn't that special, was it?" De Kromme hereby agrees with Valentijn Driessen, who was previously also critical of the veteran's actions. Driessen was extremely critical of the midfielder. "Yes, he ran his mouth, played the traffic policeman and clapped his hands, but for what or who actually? He showed no initiative on the ball, played to the right color, but more backward than forward and once over the halfway line the new number 6 did not see any options ahead. And that in the Eredivisie, although against PSV, but not at the level of the Premier League. What poverty.

With all due respect, Willem van Hanegem can fuck off, the curly headed old fuck.

Ha ha, you could well be right about him, I have no idea about his track record as an ‘expert’ to be honest.

 

Still he describes Henderson’s limitations or lack of contributions in exactly the same way as many on here have been doing for years. Make of it what you want.

 

For me, and this has been done before I know, I definately agree about a lot of it. Still I can’t completely ignore his contributions to our success while here. Most of all down to Klopp’s ability to build a functioning unit and getting the best out of every player I reckon.

Probably, but he's 33 and has played abar three games in a new team. What was the bloke expecting? Peak Davids?

No - but using age as an excuse is a bit weak - this is a league that an older Kuyt walked into and led an unfancied Feyenoord side to the title a few years back - with a hat trick on the final day.

 

They know a bit about quality.
