Jordan Henderson

[RichC]

For me Shelvey has gone backwards, probably since the United sending off - I'd get him on loan next season to get some game time as he's got the potential

[BobTheCharmer]

Yes, he is a very good versatile squad player, can play in any of the MID field roles and can only get better, but right now should not should not be in at the expense of a fit Sturridge (but DEFO ahead the likes of Shelvey/Allen), am glad we kept him and hope we are not selling him this summer.

Its certainly a hard one to fit everyone in the team. He adds so much energy to the midfield but sturridge scores goals.

[The Erectile Banana]

Henderson has been getting better all season.

I'd have him in the team every week instead of Downing. He adds mobility and bite to our midfield that Allen and Lucas have been lacking.

[BigChief]

You laud Henderson and in literally the same breath derail Downing's contributions thus far. A minor case of Erectile Dysfunction?

[The Erectile Banana]

I'm not having a go at Downing - he's much improved - but I'd have a front three of Suarez, Sturridge & Coutinho, with Henderson in midfield. No place for Downinho I'm afraid.

[RichC]

I have to say that would be my front 3 with Henderson, Gerrard and Lucas in midfield.

Is he pivotal yet?

[Lecter]

He is a perfect example of what can happen if you give a young player time to settle. He has bundles of ability.

He has great desire and workrate as well

[Rich]

Is he pivotal yet?

He is for me - should be one of the first names on the team sheet.

[G]

He is for me - should be one of the first names on the team sheet.

That midfield 3 should play the remaining games, in second half format rather then first half.

[Marina]

I'll be really miffed if he gets sold. I don't think he will... but if he is... I'll be MIFFED!

[BigChief]

I'm not having a go at Downing - he's much improved - but I'd have a front three of Suarez, Sturridge & Coutinho, with Henderson in midfield. No place for Downinho I'm afraid.

Fair enough, in another thread I suggested Lucas being dropped for Sturridge to retain Downingo. But that idea was rightly poo pooed.
