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)

[Jairzinho]

Klavan should be captain.

[ZonkoVille77]

A rich tea biscuit of a player.

A rich tea biscuit of a player.

Shades of ready salted there . Be careful !!

[Pureblood]

Good player.  Won't end up at Stoke in his prime.  

[JoeyJones65]

 

Take that fucking armband off him. Now.

[Mr T]

Brendan's parting gift giving this bobbly headed gimp the captains armband. He should be back at Sunderland. That is his level.

He was better for them than he has been for us.  I'm not sure what that says about his mentality and our coaching. 

[Jairzinho]

Should be back up right back this season, then sold next summer.

[King Emlyn]

He's shite and he always has been save for a short spell in the season we nearly won the league. This squad is horrible but there's only so many times you can say it

[stringvest]

Good player.  Won't end up at Stoke in his prime.  

 

 

There's no way they'd have parted with good money for him.

[Mathewbet1]

Hes become the symbol of our failure, remember that guy called gerrard, now that what an lfc captain looks like not this meek turd

[Kevin D]

Unacceptable performance.

 

The team needed their captain today and instead we got Henderson.

Better still this summer. He's never been good enough. Fucking coward. Take that other malingering shithouse Sturridge with him.

Sick to death having to watch these arseless cunts disappear every time the going gets tough. He's fucking pointless. Has been from the day he arrived.

[ZonkoVille77]

How many times during a game does he look sideways or backwards? I'd like to see the bookies odds on how many times a game he does it cost I'd spend a fortune on him doing it. Guaranteed money.

I'd prefer he was fucked off this summer as well but it's not going to happen sadly.

 

Still can't quite believe he was made captain.

[El Rojo]

It's starting to look like we missed a trick by not swapping him for Clint Dempsey that time.

 

Was Lovren not touted to replace him as captain in the summer?

[Bruce Spanner]

The captan of Liverpool football club cannot make the first team of the worst England squad in living memory. Our captain, and almost guaranteed starter, cannot make a national team. The captain of one of the biggest, most decorated, well supported, financed, followed and globally known and admired football teams on the planet is not considered good enough to represent his country as a starter.

 

That, quite simply, is not good enough

Yeah, but when was Graeme Souness ever on the cover of FIFA16?

[TheHowieLama]

Never seen such a dominantly anonymous performance. Certainly ran this game like a Spanish Thomas Gravesen would. My guess is he doubled Pogba's pass/touch output without ever really being in their half, much less the TV frame. This new role suits him. 

[Mathewbet1]

decent as a support player to players like gerrard and suarez, rubbish when he has to drag us through, lacks true grit

[Kevin D]

His tackle for their 2nd was nothing short of incredible.

 

It wasn't that long ago, Mascherano would make up 30 yards, winning the ball in a slide tackle that let the other team, they weren't going to just out hustle us.

[moof]

Aye his effort for that second goal was truly fucking embarrassing.

[Section_31]

He's shite, always has been.

[Jairzinho]

Aye his effort for that second goal was truly fucking embarrassing.

He escorted their player towards the goal.

[Cij]

Henderson is not equipped to play the position he started in today (and against Arsenal) and is the major catalyst for our disjointed performances. He has a field of vision that only covers 180 degrees, when the role requires somebody with the awareness to receive the ball and turn away from pressure in order to open up space for everyone else. His body position when addressing the ball is horrendous and this leads to him playing back and sideways far too often rather than switching the play.

 

It is not all that surprising that he lacks the necessary technique as he is a player who has always relied on his stamina and physical gifts rather than anything remotely cerebral. Ask him to press and he will run like a dog chasing pigeons. However, the traditional 'number 6' position calls for more nous. Alonso was not blessed with an iron lung but he knows how to drop into space / show for a ball, turn away from a marker and move the ball quickly and accurately vertically up the pitch. That is what Dahoud was being targeted to provide. Without that ability in our squad we are too easy to press and our transitions are too slow allowing our opponents to maintain defensive shape.

 

Henderson is a decent harrier in a three man midfield but will never be a playmaker as long as he has a hole in his arse. It is debatable whether he creates or scores enough to warrant a place at all in any three man midfield we deign to select. There is no way he should be insulated just because the last manager foolishly appointed him club captain. If he isn't prepared to accept the demotion he should hit the road as we will not struggle to replace him. The less said about his efforts to tackle Oxlade Chamberlain and Gray the better - absolutely powder puff. Sourness, McMahon or Alonso, Jordan most certainly is not.
