Hassling the opposition gives you half a chance because they have less time to play the ball or take a shot, or they think, with a player on their heels, that they have less time, it's half the battle. Which is Mystics point re Hendo. It's not just down to throwing a tackle in, it's covering ground, tracking runners and compressing space. Which is exactly what didn't happen against Bolton.

Thats exactly it, thank you Mark.
I'm sorry Fabio but we'll have to agree to disagree because I completely disagree with you on this one. When Henderson has been in the middle we haven't been overrun, whereas when we'd have only Adam and Gerrard we have been, that's evidence enough to me about how effective he is.

Fair enough
I just can't remember a game where hendo played next to gerrard/adam and he did the brunt of defensive work

Biggest game of the season.
Carra instead of Agger, Downing and Kuyt on the bench.
They owe us something after that disgraceful performance on saturday. Kenny said the right words.

I'd rather bellamy and downing myself.

Actually, Id play Johnson with Kelly behind him if he's fit.
Maxi on the left, Gerrard and Henderson in the middle. Bellamy, Carroll up front.
I know im dreaming...
