It was reckless and stupid. I can see why he rushed to regain possesion of the ball so quickly though because City were throwing everything they had at us and he wouldn't have wanted to give away the ball if it meant they went on and scored.

Still, very very stupid at this stage of the season.

When he flew in and saw red, all I could think was "please let it be undeserving and us appeal". That's the wonder of being at the match and not having instant replays. Having seen it now I guess my vain hope on the drive home is well and truly down the toilet. Reckless challenge from someone I've never seen fly in ever before. Worst time to lose a player of his energy and composure. Allen and Lucas are going to have to step up now.

It's a terrible challenge from Hendo and he'll be the first to admit it was reckless, stupid and deserved the straight red. He'd had a fucking good game up to that point as well.

Misses Norwich, Chelsea and Crystal Palace doesn't he?

Step up Joe Allen and Lucas. We need you both in his absence.

Lets not rase him to the skies, that tackle was not taking one for the team. It was reckless and dangerous and sprung out of pure frustration and tiredness more than anything else. It was near the middle of the field, with plenty of players behind the ball. How is that sacrificing for the team?

I can't agree with this at all. He took a bad touch and he was desperate to keep possession and prevent Man City getting any sort of chance to equalise in the dying seconds. He gave 100% for the team all game and went into that tackle 100%. Perhaps he panicked or just made a mistake in how he made the tackle but you could tell from his reaction afterward that he was mortified how it had turned out. I don't see frustration or tiredness having any part of it. Reckless maybe, dangerous maybe, but dangerous by accident and he was putting his body on the line for the team in the 93rd minute.

Everyone makes mistakes, it will be damaging for us to lose him for 3 games but to me it's just another illustration about how much effort he puts in for us every game.

Poor lad, no ill intent in the challenge whatsoever. Just lost his head in the last few minutes.

One of our most important players this season and I've always been his biggest fan, but now it's an opportunity for Lucas or Joe Allen to shine. Hendo has done his job in getting us to where we are, now let's get the job done and make sure we have something to celebrate in his next appearance.

shockwave_dave · « **Reply #4005 on:** April 13, 2014, 06:51:48 pm »

Was a silly tackle and a moment of madness. He will be missed for 3 games, but it was reckless and deserving of a red card. Could have been a horror tackle

Chakan · « **Reply #4006 on:** April 13, 2014, 06:52:03 pm »

Thought it was a yellow, but after looking at the replay, definite red.

Passmaster Molby · « **Reply #4007 on:** April 13, 2014, 06:53:22 pm »

Clear red, born out of desperation from his first touch, the atmosphere and adrenalin pumping. No excuses and we will miss him badly for 3 games, but its time for Lucas or Allen to step up now.

RyanBabel19 · « **Reply #4008 on:** April 13, 2014, 06:55:42 pm »

Gutted for him, he's been incredible this season

Hopefully Lucas and/or allen step up in his place

Bruce88 · « **Reply #4009 on:** April 13, 2014, 06:59:26 pm »

Stupid stupid stupid. We'll miss him.

TheBazz · « **Reply #4010 on:** April 13, 2014, 07:04:28 pm »

Sheer desperation tackle in last ditch effort to stop us conceding, heart was in the right place but his brain was AWOL. Nasri looked to be going to blast that but last second anticipated it and might of saved himself a nasty injury.

Ciara (with a capital "C") · « **Reply #4011 on:** April 13, 2014, 07:04:32 pm »

Can't really excuse that tackle, it was a bad one. I don't think he's a nasty player, or went into the tackle to do anything but win that ball. It was just misjudged after a poor touch left him struggling to get the ball. I certainly wouldn't be holding that against him.

We will miss him - thought he was very good alongside Gerrard today, kept things ticking over and ran his socks off.

I think Lucas and Allen can both step up and do a job - they have to. I bet both have been bursting to play more minutes in this team, to be a bigger part of this incredible journey. I have complete faith in both players.

lamonti · « **Reply #4012 on:** April 13, 2014, 07:07:51 pm »

Feel for the lad. Just lost control for a minute and will miss three matches because of it. Great fight all day.

All came from a poor touch. Shame and I hope we don't miss his pressing and energy too much against Chelsea

Number 7 · « **Reply #4015 on:** April 13, 2014, 07:16:32 pm »

Hopefully will be back against Newcastle. And if the title is going down to the wire, we'll need him in that game.

Pople · « **Reply #4016 on:** April 13, 2014, 07:17:52 pm »

I think he realised his first touch had cost possession and was just desperate to win it back, knowing City were gonna throw it forward again. Just panicked a little and got rash. Was no bad intention in it.

ThePeetmix · « **Reply #4017 on:** April 13, 2014, 07:18:12 pm »

Will be a big miss. Reckless challenge. He is still young at it is something he needs to learn from.

Missing 3 games in our title run in, will be punishment enough for him.

Over to Lucas and Allen!

Song for Jordan Henderson:

Sung to the tune of Yellow Submarine

In the town, of Liverpool
Lived a man who always dreamed
And he never ever stops
And now we're top of the league

So we sail to number one
Of the bloody sotting league
And we rise above the mancs
To the top of the league

We all love, Jordan Henderson
Jordan Henderson, Jordan Henderson
We all love, Jordan Henderson
Jordan Henderson, Jordan Henderson

something to that effect .. really the chorus is good enough for me

Haemoglobin · « **Reply #4019 on:** April 13, 2014, 07:44:23 pm »

Big miss, but Lucas and Joe'll hold the fort.

And he will be primed to fucking destroy Newcastle.

Everyone was desperate to avoid a counter, and I can totally understand that he went in to tackle. With his tiredness I meant that his bad first touch may be a result of him being tired, not trapping the ball properly, which likely made him frustrated and made him dive in more than he needed. He certainly is not a malicious player, and the tackle was reckless more than anything. But studs up, he will miss three games, which a shame. I would never fault his commitment or effect, but it was just somewhat mischanneled in the dying moments of the game.

Serious Foul Play, it's 3.

Can we not go for lighthearted foul play ?

RainbowFlick · « **Reply #4022 on:** April 13, 2014, 08:14:30 pm »

Felt terrible for him. We forget he's still young and I know he'll learn from this to have more composure. The occasion, the tension and the atmosphere felt like it got to him just for that split second.

Head up lad. You've genuinely been a joy to watch this entire season - get some rest and we'll see you soon.

Samie · « **Reply #4023 on:** April 13, 2014, 08:15:37 pm »

yes it's a shame that he will miss three games but he took one for the team. Say he didn't get out the way and city went on to score from it? We would've been pissed off.

Greyfox · « **Reply #4024 on:** April 13, 2014, 08:18:14 pm »

Hendo worked his bollocks off today

Yes...it was a red, but FFS the lad was heartbroken as per the photos in the dressing room....

Hendo our Warrior, smash the Geordies our Mackem Lad..

Chin up Hendo ..YNWA

Agreed! I just don't want him to get slated for making an honest mistake, he doesn't deserve it, he's been fantastic all season and I think that tackle was yet another example of his 100% commitment to the cause, albeit of course it was a bad challenge.

BR is hoping he will only miss one game.......it looks like he got the top of the ball and his foot rolled over to make his studs higher....I'm not sure if there's enough weight in that argument to avoid a 3 match ban, but who knows

The only argument we would have is that he did get the ball and rolled over it, rather than just going straight over. Not sure it would reduce the ban or anything though.

Wabaloolah · « **Reply #4033 on:** April 13, 2014, 08:55:11 pm »

It was Moses fault, had he not miscontrolled the ball it would never have got to Hendo!

He's been outstanding all season and will be missed.

Amazingly our first red in 83 games!!

the only way would be to get it reduced to a yellow, never going to happen and doubt the club would even bother trying

King_doggerel · « **Reply #4035 on:** April 13, 2014, 08:56:40 pm »

victor FUCKING moses.

Yes Henderson made the tackle and ultimately takes responsibility but had Moses not needlessly given away possession we would not be in this situation.

Anyway I guess its Lucas turn to step up

GerrardRock2 · « **Reply #4036 on:** April 13, 2014, 08:57:47 pm »

Tough break for him today. Thought Clattenberg could have left it at a yellow being so late in the game, but I'm not offended with that tackle being a straight red. If the shoe was on the other foot I'd be asking for blood.

Feel so bad for the lad, was a tired, tired tackle that and a deserved red.

He'll be missed as well as he's been massive this season. I trust Lucas and Allen to step up though so we can unleash Hendo on the Geordies to help secure the title!
