    Yeah but he also had the sort of silky skills that would make him a superstar in the modern game. I think a lot of people think of him (the player version rather than the manager) and recall the physical stuff before they remember the finesse he was capable of.

    He was probably the most complete central midfielder that I have seen play for Liverpool. My favourite way to describe how good he was to folk who never saw him play is to say that if you crossed a peak Roy Keane with a peak Alonso that you would only be some of the way towards a peak Souness.
    Ridiculous wish that I was about then.

      If it was solely down to that he would have

      It isnt sadly

      I'm confident we'll make him an improved offer which he'll sign (so long as our Aidy isn't his agent).

        Brendan Rodgers revealed how Jordan Henderson was determined to dash back from the birth of his second child to captain Liverpool to the FA Cup semi-finals with a 1-0 win at Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday night.

        The midfielder's partner gave birth to a baby girl overnight and Henderson left the Reds camp to attend the labour and spend time with his family.

        The 24-year-old then rejoined up with his teammates at their hotel in Lancashire before turning in an excellent display at Ewood Park to help the Reds secure a place at Wembley against Aston Villa.

        Rodgers explained in his post-match press conference: "Jordan Henderson actually had to go back from the hotel - his partner had their second child during the night, so he had gone away, hadn't slept so much and travelled back again and put in a performance like he did tonight, a real captain's performance.

        "Some players maybe would have missed the game, but he said to me: 'Boss, as soon as the baby's out I'll be coming back!' There was a car waiting!

        "He spent time with his young partner, child and family, which is great, but he said, 'I'll be back' - and he was. He had his lunch, he had a good sleep this afternoon and then played like a real captain.

        "They've decided to name the wee girl Brenda, which is obviously a wonderful thrill and a real proud moment for me."

        Meanwhile, Rodgers confirmed Liverpool will check on injuries sustained by Mamadou Sakho and Daniel Sturridge at Ewood Park.

        Sakho was withdrawn after 28 minutes of the contest, while Sturridge made way with five remaining of the Cup tie.

        "We'll see [with Sakho] in the morning," said Rodgers. "He felt his hamstring tighten, so we'll just need to see it.

        "Daniel Sturridge had a bit of tightness, so we took him off and we'll assess that tomorrow."

                Top class from Henderson. I'm very confident that he'll sign a new deal. IMO he deserves parity with Sturridge.

                  Naming his daughter Brenda has got to get him an extra £10k a week - shrewd move..

                        I well remember my Dad wincing at least twice a game when we were watching a game at Anfield due to Souness's physical (or should I say nasty) style

                        Souness could play though, just like Case & Smith

                        They did the rough stuff because it helped them win the battle to allow them to play their football

                        They wouldnt have to do the rough stuff today, they'd just get straight on with the football side of things

                        I dont think either of those 3 players would have been sent off any more than Gerrard has been

                          The fact he could break your leg at any second was just another string to his impressive bow. His intelligence and touch were actually his main attributes. A player everyone dreams of having because you just can't dominate him physically or skill-wise. Basically, you just wouldn't lose if he was playing.
                          One tit for another.

                            I don't believe we should go for higher basic wages for anyone nowadays , incentive based are the way forward ,

                            We paid Sturridge a massive contract and not got much value this year , give them a big bonus if we win a cup , or the league ,

                            Sterling and Henderson are not worldies yet , give them a big one now and two years time will be the same **** again looking for 200 grand a week ,

                              I thought Case and Smith were the same (although not quite at Souness' level)

                              They were very very underrated players in terms of skill, touch, passing etc..

                                I thought Sturridge's contract was also heavily incentivised
