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)

[Section_31]

Said on another thread that he's like Dechamps in a Juve mifield of Zidane, Davids and Conte. He wasn't as good as those around him but he added something to the mix, but take them away and he looks exposed and very limited.

 

Henderson is a bit like a spleen. Not as vital as lungs, heart or arse, but it keeps things ticking over when it's working well.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Fuck off, Southgate, you cunt.

Let's hope the game time is beneficial in getting him back up to speed.

Why the fuck has he included him? He’s not meant to be fit until early October at the earliest.

It's not even as if his form was that great before the injury.

[VladimirIlyich]

He's been below form recently but has still contributed more than most. It was obvious he was carrying his injury for a while but played through it and I'm not sure many 'cowards' would do that,Keita,OC for example,and it's not the first time Henderson has done that for the team either.He's obviously on the wane due to age and injuries but he still has plenty to offer,when fit. He deserves the utmost respect as he's a vital cog in the Liverpool wheel and has been a big part of our success,the non-flashy part that just gets the job done. I find it hard to deride this man when he's done so much in an era where we've been successful beyond our apparent strengths. Henderson is no small part of it either.

Read an article by him this morning saying his main dream as a kid was playing for England and mentioning players who are still playing for their countries in their mid-30’s so I don’t think he is thinking of retiring from internationals any time soon

[Captain Turdseye]

Apparently it was him that asked to be there, injury or no injury.

Wouldn't surprise me, he seems to consider it a huge honour having the responsibility of being vice captain of his national team and wants to do everything he can. It won't be the first time he's traveled with the England squad even though he's been injured. 

 

He's been more of a leader than Kane ever has anyway.

Could do without this noble to a fault stuff when it comes to those cunts, to be honest. He needs to fuck it off, asap. He's got his new contract with Liverpool, he knows his body isn't what it was. He should follow James Milner's example rather than continuing to be a bit part player for that wet blanket soft cunt Southgate.

Agree.

Lad from Sunderland cares more about playing for England then Liverpool shocker.

No-one's saying that are they? 

[Scott_M]

I was hoping he’d be jacking it in after this winter…

 

 

Southgoat saying he’s involved tomorrow night.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

He won’t be playing here at 35 hopefully.

Can wait to see him and Milner starting together in the 2025 conference league group stage

[dockers_strike]

Love Hendo but he needs to jib the internationals off.

[chrisbonnie]

He really should be retiring from international duty after the upcoming world Cup...

 

He paid a kings ransom to be fit for the club he captains. We should be his number 1 priority in my opinion

I said the same with Gerrard.  They both see their international games as the pinnacle of their careers and you can’t begrudge them that because of petty club allegiances.  Good luck to him if he eta into the squad.  Interesting to hear how well he’s feeling as plenty of people have put his ‘lacklustre’ form with Liverpool in the last 12 months down to him carrying this and that injury.  Let’s put that to bed now.

So lacklustre he played in three finals,winning two.

The difference here is Henderson is a sub, he's too old to be travelling the world as a squad player. How many if those lads get referring too are on the bench at 36/37? None I'd say.

Mainstay in a side that won 16/18 league games as well.

The point still stands though.  Some players will grow up dreaming of playing for their country and they won’t want to give that up readily.  We’ve always had players who will follow their heart in that respect and you can’t knock it just because your abstract loyalties are different.

I'm generally in agreement with you that international games and careers aren't the inconvenience they are made out to be on here. What I think is different here is his employers were pretty clear they didn't think he had 4 seasons in him, he's paid huge money to be available for us, a player at his age, with his bit part role in the England squad shouldn't be prioritising England.

 

Henderson is definitely in the political stage of his England career, the dreams ended a decade ago. His words and actions now are designed for what comes next.

He probably just likes getting away from the wife and kids for a few days.
