He had that absolute mare of a game v (was it) Burton, where I finally thought 'yeah, he's just not good enough' and he's been absolutely brilliant since. Really controlling midfield. He and Wijnaldum provide the base for all of the attacking guys to wreck havoc. It's very effective.Modifying post.

Burnley game, he was awful, he seemed like he had the flu or something. He's been excellent since.Originally posted by Buzzo View PostHe had that absolute mare of a game v (was it) Burton, where I finally thought 'yeah, he's just not good enough' and he's been absolutely brilliant since.

I suspect that his lack of that will help him adapt to become a 'genuine' holding player if that is how Klopp sees him long term. It was always an issue with Gerrard, trying to get him to accept tactically disciplined roles was hard. It was interesting to see how Curtis Davies picked out Henderson + the CBs as the stable core of the team after the Hull game.Originally posted by Shaggy View PostYes Jordan. Slowly getting to grips with a role that really doesn't suit him. If he had Gerrard's cocksure self-belief and, yes, arrogance, he'd be a beast. Still a very good player and still plenty of scope to improve. Love it Jordan lad

Subliminal?Originally posted by Jaco_Pastorious View PostGood run of form from Henderson at the moment. For me he was the weak link in our midfield, or rather the one I saw as being the easiest to replace, but if he can keep playing as he has been doing then he will be putting other players on the replaceable list.
Really hope that come the end of the season I end up going "what the hell was I thinking when I thought this guy would be easy to replace?"Substance > Style

That would be a bit of a stretch on this occasion, even for me.
