Is henderson evolving? he basically been playing Rm / Rw in some game and we've had a goal and assist in the past three games.

It just shows what competition of places can do. Ox was scoring so hendo has to step up and im glad he is because he is.

Gini has score, Fab has scored, Millner has scored, Lallana has scored, everyones chipping in.

Hendos always had a great whipped cross in from the right hand side IMO, much like Gini has always had the ability to score get into the box and score goals, I think the big difference is Klopp is now letting them go forward more with Fabinho looking increasingly capable capable of controlling the rest of midfield on his own.

Spot on, SGRed. Hendo played several seasons at Sunderland and his first season at LFC as a wide right midfielder. I In the 13/ 14 season, Hendo did most of his damage again on the right in a 4-4-2 diamond as well. It was Klopp who made him a no. 6 cos he was the best player available to play that role at the time. It was later on last season that Klopp put him back on the right of midfield and well, we know the rest. he is not evolving, IMO.

IMO, Hendo is just back to his natural position. Like they say, it's like riding a bike. You cannot un-learn what you are naturally good at. You can only be a bit rusty at it.

{Ed001's Note - he did not play wide right only at Sunderland, he mostly played central. He is naturally a central midfielder who got asked to play wide because he has excellent technique to deliver crosses.}

Ah, thanks a lot for the tip, Ed01. I just mentioned that cos that is where I predominantly saw him play at Sunderland between to 2009 to 2011 before he moved to us. I do remember a game he played with Sunderland where he was brilliant at the Etihad vs City, scoring a brilliant goal and offering a great right wing cross for Kenwyne Jones to score.

{Ed001's Note - he was moved around, but only because they were short of quality and needed to put him out of position. Bit like Trent getting into the team at right back or Rashford getting into the team at centre forward when neither played there in the youth teams.}
