Wish people would lay off hendo. He is our captain, and gives everything virtually every time he plays.
Please remember he was plagued by injuries last season. When fit the guy is class. Do not understand the criticism of him by so many.

It was always going to happen we had Gerrard for so long and he's got big shoes to fill.

I think you're spot on Phil. For all of Milner's assists he achieved last season, when both players are on form he doesn't have the same degree of composure and ability to help the team tick as a unit. He's a calming presence who never seems to let the occasion get the better of him. Hopefully if he can maintain his fitness next season and get his foot injury problems aside, then we'll be able to see the Hendo who earned himself the armband in the first place as i believe he should be well suited to Klopp's pressing game.

He shouldn't be injured that much though, he's at the age where he should be on fire and he's not. its no secret I'm not a fan of him but come on, he was injured far too much last season yes maybe unlucky, but you going to defend him if he's injured as much next season? this can't carry on. next summer he'll be off, when he's fit he has a odd decent game, he's not special, yes he's our captain. means nothing. Rodgers made that decision and it was a wrong one mark my words.

The words class cannot be put on Hendo, he's average at best.

People do it with Sturridge to if we what to go some where we need the centre of the pitch to be solid and fit.

Henderson is meant to be Sunderland's captain much like Mark Noble for Westham. I do not know why Liverpool poach him away from Sunderland.

"He shouldn't be injured that much though" Yea, because you can choose when to get injuries. So one injury hit season and "this can't carry on" You're absolutely clueless! Never had issues with injuries before, might never have them again. Gerrard had a lot more injury problems than Henderson has had, since everyone seems so keen to compare them. The fact you think he has "the odd decent game" shows you don't understand the role he plays in the side. He's not there to hit shots from 40 yards into the top corner every game, but that's what you must expect. His first touch is excellent, good vision, technique and passing range, reads the game well, breaks up opponents attacks before they even start, superb crossing, if Sterling could finish Hendo would've had over 20 assists in Sterling's last year. His finishing does need work however, and can tend to overrun it at times.

He's also a very good leader! In Gerrard's last year we were leading 2-1 against West Brom in injury time and Gerrard had the opportunity to bring it into the corner and run down the clock further. Instead he chose to play the ball to Balotelli on the edge of the box who, yet again, failed to hit the target. Henderson roared at Gerrard, called him out for not taking the ball into the corner, something no-one had done for a couple of years, something our side lacks when he's out. He's never been bullied in midfield. He won't be bullied in midfield! Our record when he captains us speaks for itself.

He is our captain, and he will remain so, unless he decides he wants to move on, because there's no chance the club will want to lose him! It's quite shocking that people think he's not good enough when, at the moment, he's too good for us!

Deluded people don't understand what Henderson brings to the team. he's good at everything not just amazing at one thing. If he had been for all last season I gaurentee we would have had a trophy and further up the league!

The primary reason we lost the league 2 seasons ago was Henderson missing the last few games. Enough said. Gerrards legs were gone and Henderson covered him for that season. When Henderson was gone we were wide open.

The last thing Henderson is is a good leader. He more often than not, goes missing when it really matters.
