Works well for us, six days rest before Spurs if he’s not playing.

Henderson on the bench for England.

What Southgate had to say pre-match:

Jordan had a slight issue during the week, so we thought we’d bring him to the bench.

Makes perfect sense that.

Makes perfect sense that.

Least hes not playing

Seems a decent bloke Southgate generally

Still would be preferable if he didn't pick our players when they're injured.

Oh no doubt

Wish the Senegal manager had southgates view though

[JC the Messiah]

Henderson will come on. They're missing him badly.

[Barneylfc∗]

Henderson on. Southgate is a c*nt

[Canada Loves Anfield]

Fantastic assist by Hendo there

[rawcusk8]

Who took the armband when mouth breather went off?

[Raid]

Narrative about Hendo will never really go away. Clear to me both us and England are better when he plays

[Cu Chulainn]

Henderson 

[RogerTheRed]

Hendo. He has played three really good through balls so far and looks fit enough

[BobPaisley3]

So just the Brazilians and Mane left to play. Fingers crossed.

Senegal’s manager can fuck off. He is playing Mane for the full 90.

It’s a friendly isn’t it? Doubt he’ll play the whole game.

[Dim Glas]

He played pretty much 90 mins in the last 3 friendlies he's been available for.  (87mins in one of them).

In that case, KH is right, he can fuck off.

He doesn't seem to have Mane's (and by default Liverpool's) best interests at heart that's for sure! I get he's the captain, and a big star, but it'd be nice if he could just give him a break for this game considering the intensity of his season.

Definitely, and I presume as they’ve already qualified, surely it’s time to see who else he’s got in the squad.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Disappointing that Henderson played.

[phil236849]

Wilson played almost the whole game for Wales, but seemed to have struggled a bit. Only watched the first half, but he didn't get involved a lot and his set piece delivery was poor. Had a nice dribble which drew a yellow card for one of the opposition players, but that's about all worth noting from that half.

Apart from the exquisite flick which sent Brooks away leading to the goal

[penwhen]

I'm pleased for Henderson that he got his 50th cap (including wearing the captain's armband) and played well. But hopefully whatever this knock was he was playing with wasn't exacerbated. I do have to wonder that if this wasn't a milestone game for him, if he would have been sent home this weekend like Trent was.

[deano2727]

That performance will do Hendo's confidence the world of good. Pleased for him. Hopefully he can kick on and give the same level of performance in the upcoming games for us.

[DelTrotter]

Mane isn't starting for Senegal thankfully.

[killer-heels]

Thank fuck for that.

[redgriffin73]

Thank you, Senegal manager.

[88_RED]

Let's hope Senegal twat their opponents in the first half and Mane remains on the bench for the whole match..

I'd drink to that!

Unexpected bonus

[BobPaisley3]

They’ve made three subs and he’s not on yet. 20 mins left.

Whoop.

[BobPaisley3]

Whoop.

International friendlies don’t have a subs limit do they? He could still come on.

Edit, he’s on. Ten minutes left.

[Canada Loves Anfield]

Scored too

[BobPaisley3]

Becker and Bobby starting for Brazil.

[Barneylfc∗]

Why the fuck is Jesus not starting instead of Firmino? Fucking c*nt. I hope he injures himself for the rest of the season while warming up.

[RedSince86]

Maybe because the Brazilian manager used to manage 2 clubs in the UAE.

He left all the City players out in the friendlies at the beginning of the season.
