He made out as he (hendo) was the captain, he takes them.. The captain shold not be the automatic set piece taker..
Hendo is not the best Set Piece taker..

Hendo is not the best Set Piece taker..
I didn't see the Gerrard drivel but from what's said on here I'm not clear that any decision took into account whether Balotelli would be on the pitch.
It's one thing agreeing that Henderson is the pen taker and another to agree that's out the window as soon as one of the best pen takers around is on the pitch. It didn't look clear on the pitch.
Fair enough, just saying the maybes.
For what it's worth I'd have Mario taking them too, they're a piece of piss to him.
^This
It came across like that..
Gerrard, with his badly tied blue tie, needs to shut the feck up. He actually made Everton look better at how they reacted to their own penalty issue. As has been said, Mario ought to take them when he's on the pitch - and Studge has a nerve seeing as he blew one a year or so ago when he fancied a hattrick. His tantrum was the worst thing of all.
Big call on Brendan now - how does he diffuse the situation without seeming to slap Gerrard down.
As Brendan would say, he's in a good rhythm at the moment. Unlike Sturridge, who I thought was mentally asleep all night, wasted several chances and then acted like some whiny kid rather than England's centre foward. I just hope Rodgers keeps things in perspective and encourages Mario to push on.
No , but it will be certainly interesting on what he says on the matter..
That's what I'm hoping for..
He should slap Gerrard down.
ITV have stuck the discussion on their site:

But he would be committing the same sin as Gerrard - airing our troubles in public and giving further life to this story.
I think Gerrard played his 'Mr Liverpool' Card to literally..
God I'm pissed with him for that..
Balo has done well since he has come back into the team.. Just didn't deserve the kicking he got..

Having watched it over and over it seems to me that Sturridge was actually telling Balotelli to give the ball to Henderson and didn't celebrate because of Balotellis disrespect, which I am OK with because Balotelli is a disruptive bag of rubbish who should never have arrived at Melwood.
Balotelli should have been the one taking it. It's so blindingly obvious that whatever beaurocracy or pecking order could have intervened, is obviously wrong. Balotelli knew it, Henderson knew it, supporters knew it.
There's a reason why Henderson allowed that to happen with just the right amount of pride. He was like the person who politely offers to pay for something, when they know payment will be refused. Everyone knew that was the right outcome, and it didn't happen the right way, but it got the right result.
Gerrard shouldn't fan the flames, and it should be fixed, fixed being Balotelli doesn't have to take the ball from anyone in that situation.
I'm glad by the way that Balotelli takes that ball. Yea, its cuntish and arrogant, but I want that from him.

It's a none issue nobody will remember in a month.
Mario felt confident asked for it. Hendo decided to let him and he scored.
Stevie should learn to stfu about the internal workings of our dressing room when on tv.
The only person I'm disappointed with in this is Stevie.
More importantly it's another win for us!

Henderson begrudgingly Agreed to let Balo take it..
Studge should never got involved..
He's been chancing his arm at that for a while. He's scored two free kicks for us that I remember and both of them crosses that eluded everyone.
there is a interview with Brendan on the ITV website and the interviewer skirts this issue. Brendan just says its Mario's job to make a contribution and he did. Good stuff so far.
If Gerrard is out injured how does he know who Rodgers picked to take the penalties in this game?
Would Gerard have said that during a post match interview? Nope.
He's thick and was feeling pyar billy big balls on the telly.

If the situation is reversed, does Balotelli let Henderson take the ball. Of course not, and that's why Balotelli is right to take it.
Penalties are easy, in practice. Confidence is everything.

Sturridge, like all personnel should, followed the Managers orders and told Balotelli to let Henderson take the penalty. Henderson bottled it, Balotelli ignored orders and made next years captain look weak. Neither celebrated the winning goal.
Behind the scenes not in an interview would be the best shot.
agree.
If that's the case then Rodgers is fecking stupid to have hendo ahead of one of the best penalty takers in the world. I cannot believe for one minute that was the managers orders..
One is a proven penalty taker, the other isn't..
It probably likely hendo was the penalty taker until Balo comes on the pitch.
