  1. That’s all a bit of nonsense, that.

     

    The argument “he’s doing what Jurgen wants him to” is a fine, but I’m that case there’s no point sharing an opinion on this forum, is there.

     

    The comparison with whelan and others passing the ball back is nonsense, too. The game was utterly different, including the backroads rule, compared with the modern game, and especially so compared to how we now play.

     

    Henderson lacks courage and composure in my opinion, and while we miss his energy against good aides of he’s out, we don’t miss much else.

     

    Except it is not nonsense and it is factual. Lets look at a couple of examples of how people see players different shall we.

     

    van Dijk has bolstered the defence since he came in no question. Yet in the first minute against city he is wailing for a foul for the merest touch. He continues to ask the ref for the foul but theref is having none of it. He loses possession and City score. The OP did not go on about van Dijk panicking or showing leadership yet hold this up about Henderson. Look at Milner. He can give the ball away numerous times but people say what a great player he is. Henderson misplaces one pass and he is a shyster of the highest order.

     

    This crap about the game being different is utter utter crap. You still retain possession because without it you aint scoring. It is so laughable people saying the game is different. The backpass rule is only that a keeper cannot pick the ball up. This shite about the back pass is united inspired crap saying they won 13 titles without the back  pass. Bollocks they did. They pass back all the time.

  2. If he steps up and shows some genuine composure, courage and leadership, the issue goes away.  At the moment, all he's doing is pointing and panicking.  VVD is running the show in that part of the pitch, and has to have a go at Henderson on more than one occasion to calm down and take a bit of ownership. 

     

    I love it when you say stuff like pointing and panicking yet van Dijk misses that far post header for one of West Broms goals or stops playing against City in the first minute wanting a foul and you say nothing about taking ownership there. I especially love it when you keep going on about Henderson always passing the ball backwards while retaining possession. We used to have people like that on the standing Kop years ago moaning when Whelan or Lawrenson etc kept possession by playing it back. Meanwhile Milner Mane and the rest pass the ball back as often as Henderson and yet you keep banging on about him. Point is Jurgen wants him to do a job. If he finds a better player than Henderson he will replace him but I think you are going to be in for a massive disappointment myself.

  3. He’s a good player that’s very suited to our system. That’s his first start in a team that generally included our other main starters around him and he looked the part. He missed a chance but all of our forwards miss those even Salah. I think with him getting that goal it will relax him a bit more when he plays going forward and we will see him be even better. We are not going to sign some world class player who will sit on the bench for our other 3 forwards who isn’t going to rock the boat. Either getting pissed off and mouthing off in the media or worse gets on the pitch and is greedy because of a lack of game time which would effect the whole balance of our attack.

     

    Our back up attack is almost always certainly going to be young players with potential like Solanke. Having Ings is a strange one because of his injuries he seems to have been happy to try and work his way back in and we should accept that because he’s clearly got a bit more about him than Solanke has atvthis very moment without unbalancing our team and coming in and annoying the other lads. Everyone clearly likes him.

     

    This. I cannot get over many people seem to think we are going to sign a player like giroud to sit behind our front three. Giroud went to Chelsea because he knows he will get games seeing as £58m man Morata is actually quite shit.

  4. But this is the problem, we need to sort out these teams full of grocks and not assume that the ref is going to do it.  

     

    We had players in the past who would have had the nous to give it back and sort the snides out.

     

    We cant all play nice football and we need to be a bit smarter.  The chances are that some of the teams that come up for next season will play exactly the same way.

     

    This is extremely naive nonesense. I do not want our players to be utter shithouses just because in the odd game or two one of the oppos players is a shitehouse and the ref misses what they do.

     

    The missed penalty well it was not missed the ref decided it was 2 players coming together would not have been changed if Ings had been an utter twat in the incident. Same when he got punched in the belly. Ings made it clear to the ref what happened and the ref did nothing. Same when the same player nearly poked Mos eye out. If you think Mo rolling around on the floor would have made the ref act different people are mistaken.

     

    I do not get all this being a bit smarter talk. It all comes down to whether the ref spots the shithousery and acts on it.

  5. Probably going against the grain here, but it really wasn’t much of a punch, blatant and silly as it was.

     

    There were other things the ref got wrong that cost us much more.

     

    Does not make any odds whether it is a punch to the head or body nor how hard or soft a punch it was. You cannot intentionally strike an opponent and expect to stay on the pitch. It is one of the most basic rules of football. He will get a ban after Monday when they look at it.

  6. Not sure why people are tripping their shit about Chelsea winning all their games. One of them is against us. And if they win tomorrow as I expect Conte will surely eye personal glory of the FA Cup to piss the Chelsea hierarchy off when he leaves at the end of the season him with a trophy and the club not in the CL. Tough dilema for Klopp. Does he rest certain players and risk results and the players sharpness or play them in the league and risk fatigue and injury. After today I think he will go shit or bust and play his strongest team in the league.

  7. That total of Rushies anyone know does it officially include the pen he scored against Roma in the final. He claimed it at the time but some officials said it did not count as it was a penalty shootout. Think they all count myself.

  8. Mourinhos game plan is to break up teams play. it is effective but it is never going to be free flowing football and will only be entertaining if the ends justifys the means. I do not want us to copy Mourinho. You saw today Ings having a go at the ref when he got some alehouse treatment. Did the ref give him any decisions all game no. Milner is moaning on the ground at the ref in the 91st minute. Did the ref give him anything no. If van Dijk heads that ball clear West Brom do not score. If the ref had of given the right decisions we would had a pen and they would have been down to 10 men before they scored their first.

  9. Dont see how Gomez gets a free with being out for a while so has Moreno but he is everyones favourite whipping boy with Henderson. Dont know about Karius being imcompetent either. He made a couple of timely interceptions. van Dijk even left a ball for him 20 yards outside his box and when realising he had messed up acknowledged that to Karius. I thought we did just enough to win that game but it has to be said the shocking reffing of the game influenced the result. That is a stonewall pen all day. Mos mate then punched Ings on the deck and nearly took Mos eye out. Think if the FA or PL look at that on Monday the player is looking at a ban. There was a lot of pushing on the first of their goal and if Lovren of Matip had of done what van Dijk did they would be panned too.
