If only we could get this side of Henderson back we'd be flying;)

You also have to take into account that Gerrard was probably holding him back at that stage of his Liverpool career.

Such an underrated player at the moment, the guy is so disciplined and clearly just follows the instructions from the management to benefit the team.

Henderson is clearly playing to Klopp's instructions. All this 'lateral backwards passing' nonsense that's said against him, he's there to get the ball and keep things ticking over. He's clearly not Iniesta so why do people think he should be splitting defences? That's not his role at all.

His transfer to West Ham/Crystal Palace can't come soon enough.

Win, lose or draw tomorrow, we also want an Arsenal result. City play Chelsea and Arsenal back to back in few weeks. Need both of them scrapping for fourth when those games happen.

If there was no "deadwood" in the squad. We would be behind city right now.
The squad is much stronger with hendo than without him

I’ll take another one nil today with Mo punching the ball into the goal in the 94th minute.

I’d love if he punched a peno in and got away with it.

Mr.H

I love the way people give out about Hendo when he clearly make our beat XI every time.

Kieta has proved nothing yet. Loads of promise but Hendo is far more reliable. Fabinho is top class but Hendo is more rounded and offers more.

Jordan can make those killer passes. I know he goes to the side and back alot but watch the team ffs. They all do it. Its the tactic! We pass back and baco and back. Drawing on the opposition to make space for a long ball overvthe defence for mo or mane. If the ball is won by the opposition we start pressing fast. If we win the ball in a few seconds we attack an unorganised defence. If we win it back after awhile we start passing backwards again starting again.

When the opposition doesnt come to us it just looks frustrating with Hendo and gini passing back or to the side. Because even though we have to go forward we do still try to drag the opposition out of position for those hollywood balls to mo and mane to get behind the defence.

Yes its easy to blame Hendo. But why do you not also blame gini and millie who clearly do the exact same thing.

Hendo is the new lucas. When he does leave we will talk about how we miss a player like him and how when we lost him in the city game all those years ago thats what cost us the league. He is a very very big player for us like it or not

Henderson is good & undervalued but he is not more rounded than Fabinho.

Fabinho has everything ,forward passing,excellent in the air & covers a lot of ground. Better close control as well.

He will improve even more when he gets more used to the tempo.
Since December Fabinho has been one of our best players.

MD1990

I think our team today will be

---

Alisson
Milner---Matip--VVD--Robertson
---Henderson---Fabinho

---

Shaqiri----Firmino

---

Mane

---

Salah

---

Gini in for Henderon if fit.

Hendo is a sound man and a solid player. I think the problem arises with some fans is that he is captain of the club and I don’t think his playing ability warrants that title. He is also a very limited player. He contributes no goals and very few key passes/assists. Now one could agrue that’s not his role and I would be in agreement but our attack is best when we move the ball to them quickly ,which with Henderson, is very rarely possible as he alway takes three touches before moving the ball forward.

Klopp bought two CM last summer which gives and indication that what we had was not good enough. Henderson is blessed keita is having such a mare this year or I think he would be on his way out in the summer.

As it stands it would be utter madness to ever let Henderson go as he he can contribute massively to team by starting about 30 games a season but make no mistake that next year he won’t be captain, he will be 3rd/4th choice cm .

Had a dream last night, its towards the end of the season, liverpool are ahead of city(just) wth a few games to go. However the club has been struck by a vomiting bug, affects everyone bar a few - vvd is ok as brick walls dont get sick, milner's ribena diet ensures hes not as impacted.
Upcoming game against newcastle, able to cobble a defence and midfield together, but the front 3 are all out. Sturridge is still made of glass, so Origi only fit first team forward. Neil mellor is unretired out of desperation, but still need another forward. Enter lazar, who is virus free cos he was training with the under 12s. He scores a hattrick to let liverpool win 3-2, applauded off the field, Pool win the league, he leaves a hero on a free in the summer.

Think toby has infiltrated my dreams

I'd start Kieta instead of Shaqiri. I just think Shaqiri is much better off the bench when teams are tired.

He tore Belgium a new one when playing in a Swiss shirt for 90 mins. I don't think we've seen enough of him playing 90 for us yet to properly cast judgement

I get both your points but Henderson has shown he is more tactically flexible ie can play in the 2 man midfield and also be the base player in the 3. Dont think Fabinho had shown he can play this role yet and not sure he be as effective in the other roles in a 3.

Very difficult to compare as they both doing different roles. I would like to see what Fabinho can do in that holding role of a 3 man midfield though

Expected news presumably 5 years so 2024.

There's been talk that TAA and Gini could well be in the squad today.

He has averaged a goal every 10 league games across his time at the club. How does that stack against players at other clubs?

Is it unusual for contract stories to break on a match day? The club is really being well managed, keeping all the players on long term contracts, even coutinho having a new contract meant that the best price was got.

I agree 100% but how would he take losing the captaincy? Bit of an awkward situation to go through. Well, it worked out pretty good when Gerrard took Hyppia's armband.

gimli2112

Just looking at a PL thing on Sky. Norwich 8 points clear going into the Christmas games, no-one saying the league was over back then.
That's the calibre you had to beat back in the day.

Hard to argue giving the captaincy to VVD next season. I don’t Henderson is the egotistical so I think he’ll be grand. Also it might soften the blow if he finishes lifting the trophy at the end of the season. Nice footy for the mantelpiece

rob316

Pretty Much all our best players signed up to long term contracts now. Doesn't mean they'll see out their careers here but it's important Liverpool don't let key assets walk out the door for far below their market value. Everyone happy playing for Klopp not a whisper of a want away player.

Hendersons seems like the type of player who would happily vacate the role for the good of the club. I wonder if klopp will change though as Henderson seems like a great person to have off the field in the dressing room etc but you just can't have a captain who is not playing majority of games if not every game*

*Providing he is to become a squad player next season as most people agree on.

5starpool

TAA new deal too until 2024. Official.

https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/trent-alexander-arnold-says-no-15701670

Can't see him dropping the captaincy unless he's moving on/demoted to the bench. Klopp would have stripped him off it if he wasn't happy with him.

Tbh, I don't care too much who is captain once we are winning.

But yeah VVD seems the obvious choice for sure.

A win today and we would equal the total points haul for 2015/16, the season Leicester won it.

FixdePitchmark

A true Joy of being a pool fan these days - is players are staying.

I was always in a mild state of panic when someone starting playing well.

ballyargus

VVD will lead and organise whether captain or not. I wouldn't worry too much about whether he or hendo has the armband. Hendo's captaincy should only come into question if his viability for first team selection becomes overly questionable

garra

Hodgson has never conceded a goal at Anfield (as a visiting manager - don't mention the war).

Time to rectify that stat today. Milner & Matip v Saha would worry me today though.

I'd take 1-0 scrappy win right now!

Salah pen last min

Lightning never strikes twice does it?

Can't see Coutinho scoring if I'm honest.

Just arrived here in Leipzig for the BVB game this evening and someone from Liverpool is here to scout a player. Just been told by a member of the press team that the same person will travel to Gelsenkirchen tomorrow to watch another player, wonder if he wants a lift back..... All potential summer moves. Shouldnt expect anything major in Jan. one has said.


On a side note BVB are very interested in a young Fulham player Matt O´Riley...anyone know anything about him. People here claiming he is the next big thing and a potential Sancho....Bundesliga should make him to a superstar. Is he Irish???

That'll do - glad he's not risking Trent and Gini as there was speculation they could be considered - Millie will be well able for Zaha (no jinxies!) and Robbo can bomb on.- wonder if he'll give Rafa a few mins. Hope Nabby has a good one, do his confidence some good and then let Shaq loose for a while. Can't wait...

BorneTobyWilde

Contracts mean nothing except a higher sale fee, but glad he has signed a new contract without throwing his teddy like Sterling.
