Very surprised by the general lack of appreciation on here for Henderson. Surely our best midfielder since Alonso? Who was also under appreciated while we had him. But once he had gone, how we loved him.

Henderson wouldn't make my top ever LFC midfield - and nor would Gerrard - but we are lucky to have him.

And the loathing of Lallana is also weird. Guy gets injured a lot, but when fit he is a gem.

{Ed0333's Note - Henderson best midfielder since Alonso? I’m not so sure young man. He’s decent but better than say Couts, no way. I don’t know where you got the notion Xabi was under appreciated from? Anybody that knows football will tell you Xabi Alonso was a living legend in the red shirt and we haven’t replaced the void he left to this day.

Might get close to replacing him now ed with Keita and Fabinho arriving?

{Ed0333's Note - yes mate I agree but he was that good he needs 2 players to replace him. Xabi was a beast.

Hendo is the most unappreciated since Lucas.

He is the best 'midfielder' we have had since Alonso. As he actually does what a midfielder should do.

He's not as talented as coutinho individually but far more crucial to us as a team than coutinho would ever be.

Every coutinho needs a Henderson. Not every Henderson needs a coutinho ;)

{Ed0333's Note - I’d have Coutinho before Henderson all day long.

As good as Couts was and is I don't remember too many games that he won for us. I recall that Gérard was winning games for us a he'll of a lot.

Coutinho is a luxury.

Hendo is necessary.

Coutinio scored against city to make it 3 2 when we nearly won the league. At the time everyone thought that was the goal that won us the league. So yeah, he did score big goals. There were 1 0s too where he popped up with a free kick or long range shot against stubborn defences. I love Hendo but no one is ever going to pay 140 mil for him.

That said, I know what the op means by best "midfielder" couts more an am than cm. And probably right, he is the best cm signed since alonso if you don't count coutinio.

But you can't count coutinho because he isn't a central midfielder.

He is an attacking midfield and in fact a lw up until last season. So h3 doesn5 even qualify for the debate.
