Jordan Henderson

[Buzzo]

Nicely handled to be fair,

[Irishnev]

Imagine questions like this from English media

Why did you clip the ball to the back post Jordan, why didn’t you go with your runner Jordan

Jordan’s return to European competition could be short lived. His Ajax side are down 2-0 at home to the mighty Bodo/Glimt in the 1st leg of the Europa Conference league.

Hold the fort they’ve got one back in the 91st min & a Bodo player sent off.

Update it’s a 97th minute Fergie Time equaliser for Ajax. The 1st goal was a penalty, I wonder if Hendo took the ball in protection mode or if he’s given that away now

Our penalty takers would have felt safer.

[Buzzo]

Yeah, quite rightly, I dont think that was on the table.

[BootRoom]

"Thank **** we didn't re-sign him" is all I can say.

[danperkins]

He was but isn’t. The game isn’t as quick in Holland but the players are and he’ll get rinsed by younger midfielders running passes him. I think his benefit to Ajax is more from a leadership and dressing room perspective, something that their current situation suggests they’re missing.

1 point and one win from delivering the most successful season from any team in the history of English football, and we were carrying our captain.

I’ve not given my opinion to be honest, I’m just giving stats and scoffing at yours

For stretches we were, yes.

And saying the Henderson 'excelled' in 2021/22 is you giving your opinion. And I'm scoffing at that

[Buzzo]

Fine. at your opinion too.

I’ve nothing against Henderson nor any reason to scapegoat him.

And yes we can point to other reasons too. That doesn’t mean that it isn’t true that Henderson was largely poor in 2021/22.

[Mark79]

In your opinion.

I think there were multiple reasons we dropped points. I don’t think Hendo carries the blame for any of them, he’s always been a convenient scapegoat.

[Buzzo]

It’s not conformation bias, it’s objective judgement. It was also stated in the aftermath of these respective performances, so it’s not hindsight or revisionism either. We repeatedly blew the our lead to Brentford. We blew 2 goal leads to Brighton and Chelsea. Our midfield was poor off the ball in all these games (and others) and Henderson’s performance was a standout issue.

Yes we had an outstanding season overall, but we can still point to reasons that we dropped points that contributed to missing out on the title.

Henderson, particularly in the first half of the that season, struggled. He certainly didn’t excel.

I think there were multiple reasons we dropped points. I don’t think Hendo solely carries the blame for any of them, he’s always been a convenient scapegoat.

[Mark79]

This is confirmation bias.

We got 92 points and only lost 2 games that season, he played in most of them (35 out of 38). We scored 94 goals in the League and only let in 26, what, despite him?

We also got to the CL final with him playing most games and should have won the final.

Oh, and he lifted the FA Cup and the League cup. Somehow.

I reckon he did alright.

[red g]

It didn’t say he’d sold more shirts than Van Basten, just that Hendersons shirt was the fastest selling shirt in the clubs history.

Given that Ajax don’t ever buy household names, it’s not that hard to believe.

Yeh my mistake. Fair point

[Buzzo]

Hendo didn’t excel in the 2021/22 season. He was costly for us, especially off the ball. Thinking games against Brentford, Brighton, Chelsea, City.

I don’t blame him though. Ultimately that falls with Klopp for not replacing him as starter sooner.

We also got to the CL final with him playing most games and should have won the final. Henderson played in 12 games. Lots of class players will never play in a CL final.

Oh, and he lifted the FA Cup and the League cup. Hendo played 5 games in each. Somehow we one both with him playing.

I reckon he did alright.
