Naby Keita

[Doc_Piptorious]

i don't think Ireland hates Hendo. Although I do remember some dublin ****** on youtube outside Anfield giving out about Jawr-dun Hend-ar-sun being Liverpool captain.

I agree with most of what you said. I used to have the use of a season ticket (fella who was working abroad that didn't want to give it up) a few years ago and the old fellas around me in the main stand used to give Henderson an awful time altogether. This is the end of the Brendan era / start of the Klopp era. Even then though, i used to think that I'd not seen a player talk as much on a football pitch since Roy Keane. He literally was ****in everywhere talking players through. The guy was like the ****in duracell bunny - kept talking / shouting. I think Jurgen has pushed him to more and more of that on to another level.

I think Henderson is a brilliant captain - in that he gets the extra 2-3% out of some of the players around him. I think Virgil does something similar.

The one thing I would think Hendo is not great at is his shooting. In his position, in such a good team, he should be looking for 10 goals a season really.

Well that narrows it down to being any one of 1,904,806 people then

I think his shooting is decent. 10 goals is a big ask for someone who frequently plays a holding role. A younger Henderson playing box to box all season, maybe.

...Hendo with a **** finish against Barca last season, good job Div was there to finish it off properly. Lost if from that point onwards, been a liability and proper sicknote since... wouldn't play him in a Sunday League side now...







...nah, he's been ****ing immense for us since Gerrard retired. Even as CB he was reading the game well which made up for his lack of experience playing there. He'll be a big miss and we need to start thinking of replacements for him and Gini longer term.

[wiw]

To me the big plus that Hendo brings is rhythm. He gives us it in a way that no one else can quite manage, apart from maybe Thiago. It's such an intangible thing though, it sounds dumb when you say it I feel more relaxed watching us when he plays though..it's as if we have more of a unified plan on the pitch. He's the rug that really ties the room together

Compare how long henderson got as a newbie in our team when he was a consistently sub standard £20M player...

Phillips is a freebie who is filling a gap much better than he should be and a worthy 4th CB at worse.

If we gave him as much time as henderson got then he could turn into a worldie.

He couldn't. He's filled a gap with the injuries we've had but he's not the answer for us and his positioning at times is absolutely woeful.

Good on him for stepping up in a time of real crisis but we should be looking to improve on him

Yeah but what happens when someone pees on that rug, man.

You mean micturated upon?

Did I pee on your rug? Did I urinate on your rug? So every time I, just want to understand this, sir, every time a rug is micturated upon in this fair city, I have to compensate ?

Look at Naby's injury history since joining us, it's absolutely ridiculous. IMO he should be loaned out and hope fully he has a good season elsewhere and we can try recoup some value back. He clearly can't hack the rigors of playing in a Klopp side in premier league, not only the physicality but the pace. We cannot keep hanging on to these types of players... just incase. We need a squad brimming with quality but they have to be available. Forgetting the injuries I haven't been impressed with him, nice footballer alright but just too slow & light weight to succeed in this league imo. Whether or not that would have changed if he had not have been injured every 5 seconds is debatable but yeah it certainly didn't do him or us any favours.

Have we sold him yet.

Maybe it was Vagina and was a spelling mistake.

It's such a shame but he's been a proper flop.
