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)

[DJLJ]

Everybody always talks about 2013/14 saying Suarez raised the game of everyone around him.

Incredible, that one player can have such a huge impact on the entire team.

 

As good as Salah was last season, I don't think he had anywhere near the influence on the other 9 on the pitch that Suarez did that season.

 

Fucks sake, I miss the mad little bastard.

I think he defo raised the game of the other 2 around him.

In fairness, Gerrard was pretty inspirational for large parts of that season too.

Sturridge was devastating too.

[Mr T]

Coutinho and Sterling not bad either.

 

Just a shame we had the clowns at the back.

So he panics when he has less than 20 yards of space around him in all directions.  Hardly news.

Apparently it is to the national media. A few days previously, this kind of madness was being generated:

I stopped reading at 'calm authority'.  Two words that Jordan could never be accused of.

Wankers

[El Rojo]

Not sure why anyone on here would take a swipe at him over an England performance.

 

Even Carragher and Gerrard often played like pub footballers when they pulled on that shirt.

I’ve got a Manc mate who thought Henderson was England’s best player over the tournament - he was being genuine as well!

[sir roger]

He played very well in the earlier games. Against Croatia as a team we seemed to have a plan to get the ball forward quickly & with Kane coming short & the likes of Sterling and Lingaard not exactly good in the air we were always going to have a lot of wasted passes from the midfield.

[Lycan]

Hendo was basically on his own in the midfield against Croatia. It must be hard enough trying to get tight to Modric, but when you throw Rakatic into the equation as well, it's near damn impossible. Plus he was still carrying a slight injury, which is the reason why Southgate brought him off.

[moof]

Any time England had the ball they were booting it straight over Hendo’s head. That, coupled with the fact his midfield “partners” were the less than useless fucking Lingard and the abominable Alli, surprise, surprise, he didn’t get much joy out of the best midfield in the competition.

[aws]

Thought he did ok overall. Better than his superstar midfield partners.

There’s an Arsenal fan at my work who said the same

He was England’s best player in the tournament.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

I think he did fairly well in the world cup. As did England, did well without really impressing. Personally I reckon Pickford was probably the best player, then maybe Trippier and Maguire. No one were really outstanding imo, and I may have picked those three because they performed well compared to my low expectations of them.

[TheHowieLama]

Someone needs to have a word with Jordan

[Hades]

The worst captain we've ever had?

[Carvalho Diablo]

He was terrible today. The midfield of Hendo, Wijnaldum and Milner is very passive and limited creatively. Balance all wrong today.

[Grinch]

He was dreadful and the other two were just as bad.  A big club simply can't carry three players with fuck all technical ability, three average as fuck runners.  Leicester had a better footballer in there ffs.

 

I'm certain Klopp realises this or he wouldn't have spent £100m there in the summer.  So hopefully we won't have to witness such a woeful midfield for too many more games.

[3 Stacks]

Klopp won't cast him aside, but I'm just about certain we've got two midfielders now who can do his position much better than he can. 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

You can almost feel the panic when he receives the ball under any pressure.
