All the posts before the injury update were about Kev

Story doing the rounds that he parked across 2 disabled spaces when going for a scan at the Spire today.

Doesn't sound like the Hendo we know and love.

(Although I suppose his injury may mean he's currently disabled )

Someone's digging really really deep to dish some dirt on him

Yeah I saw someone on Facebook share a link to an article on this in the mail, over 800 comments

Can you even drive with a hamstring injury?

Parking at the Spire is ****ing terrible, its a free for all at the best of times

Despite winning, I thought we really missed his influence out there last night.

When Henderson isnt playing we dont win anywhere near the amount of 2nd balls we should be

[Lecter]

We've only conceded more than 1 goal twice this season and both times Henderson didnt start

Last night was the first time it was really glaringly obvious (surely to even his biggest detractors) what we miss when he doesn't play. His energy. His tackling. His leadership. And only obvious because he plays all the time now and this was a rare look at us without him.

He leads the press. You could see at times we were a bit ugly through the midfield, he seems to orchestrate and the structure of our attack comes from that. When we are relentless he is behind it. He also offers us variety (quick long balls in behind, there was none of that last night) and is quick in transition (which as you stated earlier is key to how we play).

It is a real compliment to him that he has become such a complete footballer and a real midfield dynamo. The big worry is Athletico, assuming he is missing that game then we really need to get the midfield right without him.

I wonder if Milner will play if fit? He probably is the player who has most of the same qualities.

Henderson though, surely underrated no more.

Not sure on the fitness of Milner if he isnt fit though...

I would start Ox v Atletico, I would also start him v Watford

I would start Keita v Bournemouth

The problem with Ox though is I have heard the sports science department will only let him play for 60-70 minutes at this moment

Will be interesting to see how Minamino fits in, he must be desperate to be involved, would love us to find a way to get him on for 20 mins or so. But after the game v. Wolves, he knows how hard it is and the standards required.
