Topic: Jordan Henderson

[Live in the Now]

Will be a good experience for him - but in all honesty - will he likely even make the substitute bench or  get on the field?

Everyone's on the substitutes bench.

[Twelfth Man]

Well done. I think he will develop a lot under Rodgers, has all the attributes[size=78%]. [/size]

[TomDcs]

Okay, you can save my post and wait for a few months or a year.

Stay in the little boys Ben sunshine and play with your Xbox while the grown ups talk about football!

He is arguably better than Milner and defo better than Jones though.

How is he arguably better than Milner?  Potentially, possibly, but Milner has been a consistent performer at a very high level for some time now.  Not sure about him being definitely better than Jones either.

This will be a great experience for Henderson, and with all the Liverpool players around he'll fit in nicely.  Can't see him starting any matches but if he does it's likely it'll be in the middle, where he's best suited, and not out wide.  Good luck to him.  Hope he comes back with some extra confidence to take a few more risks in his play next season.

[Stag Beetle]

Someone needs to sneak him some of these



Then he'll be quality, spraying 40 yard balls everywhere.

[El_Pistolero]

Sounds like something Fordy would say.

[scouse29]

Cause I wan't to see better from the lad.

I'm glad he is called up but those that say he deserves it need a word with themselves cause he is far for England quality let alone Liverpool quality.

Wanting to see better could be aimed at every single Liverpool player last season so why single him out?

Yes, he probably has landed on his feet with getting a call up but you sum up some of our support or rather lack of it. What not encourage and admitt the experience will aid him and hopefully Liverpool, that way we all benefit.

Let me clarify , i meant in the 'Barry role' in central midfield. Milner is a good player but he is not the best option for that role and neither is Jones for that matter.  That role requires quick short passes and ball retention , things that Henderson can do more than competently.

[OrangeMochaFraps]

Really pleased, and good luck to him!  YNWA lad!

[lfcshaunod]

Well in Jordan!

Even if its only because of an injury, going to the euros will do his confidence the world of good.

[spider-neil]

Is Liverpool the most represented side for England?

[exiledintheUSA]

Is Liverpool the most represented side for England?

Yep.

[Brentieke]

Yep.

25% of the outfield squad are Liverpool players.

Which, considering how shit we've been this season, says a lot about how shit England are.

Laughable that likes of Downing, Henderson and Carroll are in the squad considering how average they've been for most of this season- but then againthey're mid table players and it's England: a mid table international side.

Or maybe we have very, very good players that need a bit more time to 'bed in'.  I doubt the England NT would have selected them on the merit of last season.

[Dirk18Kuyt]

 

Getting that tattooed if our lads win the Euros for England.

[Kopite B205]

Congratulations to the lad. Hopefully this will give him some more self belief that he belongs at the top level.

[SpartanTree. No deccies or lights.]

There are players like Witsel, Moutinho, Defour, and we keep spending this amount of money on this, lol. Even our right/left backs are mediocre and we could get cheap players who are a lot better than them. FFS, is it so difficult to sell Glen Johnson, José Enrique and Henderson and get decent young players like Danilo, Alex Sandro, Witsel and Iturbe?

 

[Brentieke]

Most likely selected because the other options are just as shit or worse.

Which again, shows how insane our Buy British strategy was last Summer.

Time doesnt buy you some bottle, which is exactly what Downing and Henderson lack. If anything, I expect them to shrink further the minute they get game time in the Euros. A lot more courageous players than them 2 have wilted playing for England. Could be more hiding going on than Osama Bin Laden did after 9/11.

[evie]

Milner will move in to centre mid.

Henderson isn't good enough for the 1st and won't challenge for a spot.

Can't believe the henderson loving on here.. He isnt even that good. How Liverpool have fallen.

I can't believe your negativity.

He's just anti-Henderson, anti-Lucas (in the past) and pro-Adam

[Crixus]

Even after the indifferent debut season he's had. I would defo have him over Milner. Milner is so fucking overrated its untrue. He's Downing but playing alongside fucking Yaya Toure, Tevez, Aguero, Silva, Nasri... Downing will manage the odd standout performance playing in that team. Obviously Milner has alot more fight in him but still...

Henderson should be great under Rodgers. Hopefully we never see him in the right in that system tho.

[evie]

should give the lad a couple of seasons at least.

[Melbred]

Well done lad, should be a great experience for him.

[Fordy]

should give the lad a couple of seasons at least.

but not give Adam, Downing, Carroll, Jose and the other signings a couple of season.

The Henderson loving is painful cause second to Downing he was the worst of all the new signings.

But he is young.

What, the whole fucking picture? If so that I want to see!

of the maligned quartet he's been the best and the one with the most potential.

[Brentieke]

I actually think he's been the worst- and by a distance too.

Opinions eh.

[GIPPO77]

I think he has been OK and steadily improving as the season went on. Well done Jordan.

[Melbred]

That title goes to Downing imo, and by some margin.

Henderson has by no means been great, but he's steadily improved and has shown his potential i think.

But yep, opinions and all that.

[Live in the Now]

That this conversation is even taking place shows how fucked up last summer was for us. That being said, Henderson contributed more than Downing's sweet fuck all.

And that's a fact. No question about it whatsoever. Not even a hint of a doubt. Global consensus. 
Rule #1: Fordy is always right.
Rule #2: If you think that Fordy is wrong, see Rule #1.

I'm not an avid user of this forum over a long period of time, but this seems to be the case with this guy. His posts are fact, everyone else is wrong. Whether it be player opinions or speculation as to our managerial structure or who we are being linked with. Bit boring really.

It's boring whilst it's happening but entertaining to look back on when he gets it wrong. So plenty of entertainment.

[Zinc]

Chuffed for the lad. A good player that's gonna be great.

Yes of course we should

You'd have thought people would have learnt when they used to rip into Lucas.
