Klopp " Henderson has the hardest job in world football " what an absolute ridiculous statement to come out with. How about "Henderson has big boots to fill " We all know Steven Gerrard was a great player and servant for the club but that was in the past. If Henderson is not up to the job then find someone that is.

if Herderson is not up for the job no one will be. Henderson is as important for the team as Couts or Firminio. he does a lot of dirty work that goes unnoticed.
I have this feeling that Lfc fans are making Henderson the new Lucas by giving him all the stick posible.

Seriously the Henderson bashing needs to stop.

He is our club captain, our player an LFC player that gives everything he has in the tank every time he plays.

Is playing with a constant injury that is affecting his play and still maintains an 81-82% pass completion rate. Wins 70% on average of the tackles he makes.

Is trying to lead an evolving team.

If you can't support your team, players or you managers decision and you think it does any good to jump on here and bash the player who hasn't exactly played poorly then go support someone else, its pathetic.

It's not Henderson bashing. The manager of Liverpool Football Club should not have to come out and publicly defend the clubs captaincy. Bringing up Gerrard makes it embarrassing and piles more pressure on Henderson in my opinion. It's ridiculous.

Were allowed to have our own opinions of a player we deem not god enough. Do you honestly think he’ll get in city’s squad, Real Madrid’s, Barcelona.
If the answer is no, then what can I say,
There’s no point calling us all out, if we want to be where the top teams are, we can’t keep players due to feeling bad.
He’s had one good season since he’s been here.
He may do his job well, and he may be good. But he isn’t a world beater, and he’s just wasting someone else’s place who can become better than Henderson.
It’s taking him YEARS to finally establish himself in the midfield of Liverpool and only slightly getting there with being captain.
It’s taken him too long.
Couts wants to leave and everyone knows how much he wants to go, but bagged him self 3 goals and assisted in goals, he was vocal and sorted the team out.
(I’m not Couts fan, I haven’t celebrated one of his goals, but I had to give him a clap Wednesday)
Something Henderson doesn’t due, filling Gerrards’ boots will be a huge strain on anyone, but he isn’t even a spec on Gerrards boot.
We’re lucky if Henderson gets one assist every few games.
I like Henderson, as a person. I just can’t see us going that extra bit by being loyal to him, as I can’t see him getting any better any time soon.

DONT COME FOR ME. I’m in no mood to get abuse with just a general opinion. 😳.

Stevie was avg his last 2 seasons. anyway hendo is doing fine. Need him to do what he does and allow coutinho to shine. Cos Coutinho does jacksoN*t in midfield to help hendo.

Not looking good. Klopp defending Henderson publicly is like club owner giving a manager backing publicly. We all know what usually happens to a manager after that.

"DONT COME FOR ME. I’m in no mood to get abuse with just a general opinion. 😳"

Well then don't publically express it. Most of what you say is justifiable, even if not my own opinion. however. :

" (I’m not Couts fan, I haven’t celebrated one of his goals, but I had to give him a clap Wednesday) "

This sums it up for me. Are you a real fan? You haven't celebrated a goal he has scored? Because those would be goals FOR OUR TEAM. We can express opinions online about who we think should, or should not, be playing. that is our prerogative. But to not support a guy when he pulls on the shirt and represent our team is crazy.

Players come, players go. Some of the guys playing right now aren't close to what we have had in the past, some may turn out to be better. We are supporters, and the clue there is SUPPORT. Starting to find this vitriolic bashing of certain players awful. maybe it is not the standard of the team that has gone down. maybe it is the standard of the fan.

Rant over. but feel free to come at me, seeing as I expressed an opinion :)

I like him. But our midfield is actually better without Henderson.
It's not bashing. It's just opinions.
When we play the best teams especially away I understand the 2 Defensive Midfielders so Hendo has a place.
But at home against your rubbish teams like Everton 😏
We only need Can in there.

gerrard like hendo got stuck in a holding role and it shined a light on gerrards decline. gerrard had the brains but his body was letting him down. hendo has the physicality but he doesn't have the brains to be a good holding midfielder. henderson is good in the heat of the moment but when he's just there to stop and start attacks, he then becomes average at what he does. we are wasting his best attributes.

in my opinion, when we play can and hendo we lose the energy when compared to wini and hendo. If we made can hold more and gave hendo licence to move where needed it would be better than the hendo and wini combo as can and hendo are better quality players if played in the right positions. we need a protector of the back four who can also think his way out of dangerous situations and hendo is not the man for the job. can is the only player capable right now. even wee little joe allen was more capable at that position.

{Ed025's Note - once i read...gerrard like hendo...i stopped reading ryan, as i would have it it were..mother theresa like adolf hitler mate..

Im glad the majority follows what I was saying, you support a player when he pulls on the shirt and gives his all and doesn't have any offield desire to leave!

Koppette your post dosent warrant reply as you completely missed that point.

For as long as a player gives 100% and makes himself availble to play for the club they will get my support, fine if someone else the manger desides is better then of course upgrade but right now in this moment Hendo is an LFC player and there only limited numbers availble for the central roles so he will play and be supported by most.

Ads I support the team 110%, But after a guy who publicly resquested to leave, then caused trouble on and off the pitch, faking injuries then played for brasil, not giving his all for the team, not having the decency to smile when he scores a really important goal for us, he didn't even have the decency to smile while he had the captains arm band on. he's insulted every player before him, Boys who always dreamed to one day, captain liverpool on an UCL night. If he's allowed to not celebrate in protest, then i have every right to think what i do about him.
You sound argumentative, im not about that so if you're looking for an argument then i won't conversate with you and we'll leave it there.
I think you misunderstood when i said don't come at me, i know i used caps but it wasnt in a shouted tone. So i apologise for that misunderstanding.
Anyway roll on sunday.

In the words of Ed01 (paraphrasing), "Whining and bitching about a player they lack the footballing intelligence to have a discussion about" comes to mind here. The fact that Klopp had to come out to back his captain, shows how disgraceful some of our fans really are. I know many will whine about having an opinion. Sorry, if all you parrot is what the other whining moaner said with no facts or substance to support them apart from the low hanging fruit of "passing sideways", "back passing" drivel, then you don't have an opinion. You are a follower and do things cos everybody else does it.
Hendo is a very good player, one City and Spurs were after a few years ago before City got Delph. I guess they are mugs too. He has the respect of his manager and team mates. That is earned with your attitude, work ethic, leadership and example on and off the pitch. He sacrifices himself for the team and plays several positions to help the team cos that is who he is and what a capt. does.

A true leader and gentleman like Lucas was who ironically, suffered the same fate as Hendo is doing now cos his detractors know nothing about the game if the player is not flashy. Obviously, this is poison for the mindless who moan, whine and bitch about a player whose qualities they will refuse to see cos he is not doing a Steven Gerrard. Hendo is LFC and England capt. Get over it and get over yourselves cos you are embarrassing yourselves, royally.

I take it you’re a Hendo fan ed025?

He’s not bad mate. He is excellent at pressing the ball and breaking up play. He’s not been as good since the injuries though.

{Ed025's Note - i think hes a nice guy and would do a good job for a mid table side Tj but if you want to win things then an upgrade is required imo, its a bit like boris johnson who has got a top job even though we all know he should not really be in the post, but good luck to the fella..
