eds about Henderson wasn't he more usefull playing like he did in the 13-14 season where he just could run around an harass the oppostion, make those late runs in to the box etc, he used to have decent amount of assists also or am I wrong.

{Ed001's Note - he has fitness issues now due to injury.}

Ed1, do you know a lot of Liverpool players past or present that have had long standing injuries that had to be managed throught their careers? I know of Henderson currently with his heel and one which is not Liverpool related but Ledley King of Spurs who didn't train in between games and only did swimming apparently to keep his fitness up.

{Ed001's Note - loads have mate. Hansen is the one that jumps out as an example, he had knee problems. Tommy Smith's latter part of his career was played through injuries. In fact you would probably be hard pushed to find an older player who didn't have a long standing injury that needed managing.}

I have had to go through the majority of my career carrying an injury, yes admittedly it does not affect my office job but its no less painful lol.

Ed1 cheers for the reply can't believe I forgot about the great Hansen. Also I saw you mention somewhere the other day that Saurez might face a similar fate following his knee op in the summer which has affected his ability to twist and turn as he loves to do.

Its a coming, not going to lie that did make me chuckle. Unfortunately I have also suffered a long standing infliction in my office job and that's not wanting to be there half the time. If only I could sulk and get a transfer out with a large signing on fee and generous wages, one can dream hey.

{Ed001's Note - different days though when Hansen could carry an injury as players were not at peak physicality as they are now. Being slightly off costs teams badly.}

I played with bad knees for years, Ed until I ripped my tendon and broke my knee cap in 2011 playing NFL-type football w/ my team. That's when I knew that I had to stop playing football or NFL-type football as my other knee suffered for it throughout rehabilitation.
