Question for Ed01. What's your thoughts on Hendo being played in a slightly advanced role in the midfield 3? Klopp seems to have given him a bit more attacking freedom recently and it appears to be paying off.

{Ed001's Note - it suits him, he has always been at his best when able to use his running power. So long as he stays fit it is the perfect role for him.}

He was brilliant there in 13/ 14 and since neither Gini or Milner are prolific goal scorers so we wouldn’t be missing that, then why not? Gives Klopp a chance to rotate Gini and Milner where required and also fit Fabinho in the team without dropping Hendo.

I like it provided Hendos legs are still what they were. seems his plantar Fastitus has gone away?

Can you see why Kloppo is such a charismatic fella?! Here's a great example of it, in how he cheekily says “It was my fault that for one-and-a-half years he played as a number six. Sorry for that! ” so naturally! Who else would have the supreme confidence and the supreme humility in equal measures in the game to say that?! He had his reasons why he wanted Hendo at no.6 all this time.

This is why Jurgen Klopp is like no other top level manager right now, and totally fits the great Shankly's Holy Trinity philosophy. He is in symbiosis with players and fans alike. If he can actually win us that first major trophy with him. well. his legendary status with our club is sealed.

Props to Hendo for pushing his case. He has his fans and he has bashers, and us few who have been on the fence, but I hope all can see that overall he has been one of the most valuable players in our squad for longest time.

The above was posted by a fan on another site and me I thought it was brill so I have shared.

Hats of to Hendo he has played very well the last 2 games in a more advanced position. The games before that he was playing deeper and for me wasn't as impressive. Hopefully Klopp continues to use him and his strengths in a more attacking role and always Fab to start more of the big games in his preferred position then.

Hendo is one of our best players. People who knock don't know much about football. I love him and he loves us. Like fab, im always happy to see him start and happy when he comes on.

Agreed Ed. Hopefully he can stay fit and firing.

Brilliant post, Ravi123. I remember Klopp being asked when he took over, about how the so called Transfer Committee (something BR shamelessly blamed for majority of his ills and incompetence as LFC manager) would work under him. Klopp said that he does not believe only he has the answers and that he is ready to work with the scouting team and find consensus.

We could already see that with the way he was convinced to sign a certain Mo Salah, a guy he really did not want at the start. And the only reason we all know about this story? Klopp has the a great sense of security that he actually told us the story behind it. Klopp was prolly asking himself, "I mean, all these scouts can't be wrong, can they"? Had he been one of these other managers who likes the smell of his own farts, Salah would not be here and heaven knows where we would be now. Top manager and even a better man.

As for the Hendo subject, I will will always refer to one of Ed01's comments on this issue, "Anyone bashing Hendo lacks the intellectual fortitude to actually discuss the topic" or something along those lines.
