You've missed the point of the post.
I'm in no way adverse to giving the young lads games. I want Coates to start ahead of Carra. But then I wont be one of the ones getting on his back if he has a couple of bad games.
I want Sterling to get a few minutes, but again I wont be one of the ones writing him off and calling him overrated if he misses a few chances.
Just like with Henderson. Im not going to completely disregard a player who is in his first season with a new club, in a new city, at the age of 21, who's played more then he should have, in a team that's under performing as an entirity and who actually hasn't been that bad.
Coates, Sterling, Shelvey. They're all the 'answer' when they're not playing enough to prove otherwise.
The difference comes when these players go through a sticky patch. As Henderson's doing now.
More often then not its not support they get, its criticism. Just ask Lucas, or Insua.
I haven't missed the point of your post at all mate.
I chose to reply to your post specifically because of your choice of words "our entire support has no foresight".
If we're going to apply that statement to the entire support then surely the same can be said of Kenny and his staff and I've already posted my reasons for saying that.
On here it's mostly either one extreme or the other, you're either one of those who thinks you're the next Arsene Wenger or some scout from Ajax and you feel you're justified in your opinion to say that Henderson or A.N.Other will be the best thing since sliced bread and some of the condescending essence in which those opinions are displayed makes you wonder why some of these people aren't managing Liverpool, Arsenal, Ajax or Bayern Munich.
And then you have the other side of the coin where people can be just as guilty of writing off a player without remorse, they too should be in management or coaching at these clubs if it's that easy.
To add to that is the idea and oft dragged out line if you're being critical of a player, the manager or the team on here, a forum for discussion and threads based on supposed debate surrounding these things that because you're being critical you can't be taken seriously as true supporter, seems ridiculous, sounds ridiculous but that's the way it is.
See I have a slight difference of opinion to you, I'd say Henderson has been in a sticky patch for most of the season, and not that it's any justification of my opinion but I've only missed seeing a couple of games so far and that's what 'I think' I've seen from the games I've witnessed. I think the other 10 players on the pitch at times have had to carry him (not just him mind) when as you rightly point out they have hardly been performing as an entity themselves. It's an obvious thing to say but the lack of form shown by Henderson and again not solely by him has caused by and large a disappointing league season.
I don't see any individual player as being the answer to any of our ails, all of them including Kenny are the answer as it stands, and that's all I want to see, that they are all pulling in the same direction and that each and every decision that they make is a decision that will or can benefit the club NOW, in the next match and for every other game after that. At times, especially in the league this season, my opinion and that's all it is, is that some of the decisions, Henderson playing so much when not playing so well, just being one of them, has been questionable.
