Henderson

[Modo]

Where does he fit in?
We're being linked to Allen.
Aquilani might stay.

Henderson looks to have been demoted to squad player by Rodgers.

For the record, of all the failed transfers we've made these past few years, Henderson is the one I still think has the potential to make it. Question remains, does he have the bottle?

 

[Fabio]

I think he does.

I don't think he'll be a bit part player though. He'll be first in line when someone gets injured

 

[mark1975]

I know he's a bit of a pussy, but he seemed to go to the Euro's as cover for Parker. Does anyone else think he's being developed into a deeper, arguably more defensive role? Maybe Rodgers sees him as more attacking and will, as he suggested, be looking to get the most from him in an attacking sense, he just looks like a Lucas MkII to me, and he seems to be suffering a similar start to his LFC career too.

Would you like to state what fact brings you to such conjecture Modo?

Think Aquilani Count, think Aquilani. There lies your answer.

 

[El Pistolero]

So you have come to the conclusion that aquafanny has now taken hendersons place. Jesus Modo you are fucking mental. The only reason aqua is still here is no club is daft enough to bloody buy and its to expensive to terminate his contract.

And if we are questioning hendersons bottle i bet i can find a pic of him tackling i the last 5 years 🙂

 

[Stulikesdrums]

Modo, you whopper.

 

[Sunny]

This thread is nothing more than another excuse for Modo to discuss Aqualani as if it hasnt been done to death already

 

[Mystic]

He'll play, maybe not quite as much as last season though. He'll look a lot better under Rodgers and will probably press forward a bit more, which will suit him as will the new system of quick passing.

 

[Woland]

I'd like to see what he can do in goal. Failing that maybe he'd be a success in the kitchen

Well it's speculative like most of the content in this forum.

This is the line up Rodgers usually uses:

http://www.eplindex.com/14987/brendan-rodgers-tactical-approach-liverpool-adapt-tikitaka.html

As I see it there's three position where Henderson could be considered.
Defensive midfield
Or one of the two central midfield positions.

Zone 6​

– the inside forwards – Messi, Alexis Sanchez, Sinclair, Dyer et al. all represent the highly creative, technically gifted and unpredictable player expected to fulfil the requirements of this zone. Luis Suarez is one player who could walk into the Barcelona model and will no doubt provide Liverpool with the answers in this zone.​

This isn't a position Henderson will thrive in as seen during the past season. He's not a wide player.
Suarez, Borini, Pacheco, Sterling etc are players suited for these positions. Maybe even Cole and Suso.

Zone 5​

– the box to box creative midfielders – flair, the ability to change the pace of the game within a second, the decision of when to do so and an all round technical ability are required to fulfil the roles in zone 5. Zone 5 players are expected to continually find space amongst the ‘traffic’ and complete the triangles in possession. The players should not constantly look to create the spectacular but are expected to simply knit the possession and keep the ball more often than not. Steven Gerrard is one player who may have to adapt to fit within this role and play keep ball rather than looking to create often – however will no doubt still act as a catalyst to change the game.​

Here's where Henderson is supposed to play.
Will Allen join?
Will Aquilani stay?
As it stands he's got Aqua, Gerrard, Adam, Shelvey and Suso to compete with.
Add Allen, and Henderson will be no more than a squad player.

[Woland]

maybe I'm being harsh on Henderson. if he applies himself, knuckles down, remains injury free, studies the game, works hard and does everything his coaches tell him, in a few years he might get up to someone like Lee Hendrie's level.

If you squint at this for long enough a big hairy Italian fanny appears in 3D. How did you do that?

No it doesn't.....

 

[Mystic]

Is it bad that I still struggle to remember Sunny, El Pistolero and Woland aren't the same person?

Back to point, Henderson will clearly be a zone 5 player, and he'll do it well, but he'll play after Gerrard and Allen (if it happens)

 

[Stulikesdrums]

Ha. I don't get your hatred of the lad at all.
I think he is going to flourish for us.

 

[Athens]

You haven't squinted for long enough. Or perhaps you're doing it wrong.

 

[Woland]

A zone 5 player. is crystal palace in zone 5? I think you're onto something

 

[Sunny]

You can't use a Saveaway in zone 5 can you ?

 

[Fabio]

I don't hate him, I just think he's shit.

Well I do. I do fucking hate him. But I also think he's shit.

Haha. I once met Lee Hendrie in John Lennon Airport after we beat Villa 2-1 - last game of the 2005 season, before Istanbul.

Nice enough fella in fairness, he took some stick from other Liverpool fans that were there but he took it well.

I wonder if he still looks 13?

 

[Sunny]

He's never mentioned it before, how strange. Maybe one day, just one day, we'll manage to get Modo to open up and discuss Aqualani and, if we're really lucky, Ross will give us his opinion on racism, the varied legal angles in differing courts of law and sport and maybe also the accounts of Liverpool Football Club. I'm glad that's unlikely to happen of course otherwise we'd have group seizures what with all the sheer excitement such posts would generate.

 

[mark1975]

I wish someone would talk about Lucas.

 

[Skullflower]

he's nowhere near as good as everyone reckons.

 

[Mystic]

I wish someone would talk about Lucas.

I'll make a new thread about it and then we can steer the thread to comparisons between he and Aquilani.
