Incredible. They should be forced to watch a 'highlights' reel of his performance - maybe Boywonder has them.

Yesterday he was far further forward because of how deep Sunderland played. He is not the player for delicate chips (yes, 1:100 comes off) and clever passes in tight areas (again 1:100) he is much better against better opposition when the game is more open, he's much batter at those 30-50 yarders. Hence so much wastefulness and lack of creativity from him.
Defensively he had little to do. It was a poor game from a captain commanding his troops and he allowed them to continue to bang their heads against the door down the centre when we clearly looked more dangerous whenever we were wide and behind them.
For the Henderson Haters.. MOM..
To be fair I though he was one of our better players..

It's a post match thread where we are supposed to discuss the merits. or lack of, of the tam/players. Wouldn't be much of a thread if everyone just went around patting each other on the back because we won. What would the thread be like if Sunderland had held out for instance ? Which could easily have been the case bar one moment of solo brilliance from Origi.
Not everyone played well despite the win, it's fair play to debate individual performances. Karius for example has taken plenty of stick despite us winning games.
They (well at least me) are not Henderson haters so that's a term you should ditch. Despite the BBC having shite in their eyes - they gave Mane a 7.5 FFS and not one person on here would do that.For the Henderson Haters.. MOM..

Mentioning Lucas is neither here nor there though Doc. Most of Henderson's chips forward were pathetic and either went straight out of play or to a defender's head. We all know pass completion stats are pointless when a team sits so deep and the player concerned taps the ball around at the back a lot. In fact they are typical CB stats, you'd expect a lower pass completion rate from a player trying to be creative.
To be fair to Klopp he also said, in his post match interview, that they were that defensive because we forced them to be and that he was sure that wasn't their intention (or by design - I forget the exact term he used).

Henderson was almost playing as 3rd defender. Milner and Clyne was almost always in front of him. When Sunderland tried to go down the flanks exploiting that it was always Hendo who covers that space, both left and right. He did that very well.
His job was also to recycle and keep the ball moving while marshalling the space in front of the centre backs. You can see why he didn't take too much risks when he was in our half. A misjudged forward pass, with our 7 players further forward, would have given the opponent a free run at us. He did his job well.
He did get more adventurous when we move into their half as a unit. He tried some long passes which came off. 1 chip pass and a cross for Lovren who headed wide for example.
I slated him last season but he has been one of our best players this. He is everywhere defensively all the time. You guys need to watch how many times he pop up in defensively to nick the ball away when we seems to be struggling. I didn't think he had this in him to be honest.
He was very good yesterday i thought.

Not one person on here has Henderson in their Top 3 for MOTM (or even mentioned him) and from what I remember from Morse's MOTM site not one person from the other 5 LFC supporter sites had him rated either (when I voted). Luke Reddy at the BBC is fucking nuts, he also described Origi's goal as a cross !

Sunderland Tactics at Anfield.. what actually happened
A Bridge too far..???

Neville was a lesser player than his older bro and he's now a lesser pundit too. Poor tw@t's just trying a bit too hard.
One of them is a Henderson hater of long standing. Clue: it isn't The Nomad. He and you have been caught in the crossfire.
I have no problems at all with defensive side of his game. He did very well in that aspect.
Thanks to @the count and @mark1975 for highlights, much obliged
But Henderson played well. Thats the difference.
And that's a matter of opinion.
I agree. But when several media outlets have him as MOTM and its only 2-3 people on here who think he had a sub par level performance, then its a bit strange. Certainly when the numbers doesnt back up the argument.
If a player has a average game, most people will agree with that with maybe a few percentages going the other ways.
As for ratings, he was a 7. Not our best player but certainly not a poor or average perofrmance.

He scored a very similar goal last season, against Stoke if memory serves me right.
This is going to become his Trademark shot isn't it.. I Like Coutinhio with his..
Thing is this shot from Origi is very difficult to Save because of the Angle and the bounce before it gets near the goal..
It is Technically a brilliant shot to master.. Doesn't require power, just accuracy and precision.
