Hi ed001

Wanted your opinion please on Henderson. He is out captain and he didn't play again yesterday, I appreciate he has had injurys but must be fit as he was on the bench again. The fact Keita and another CM will arrive were do you see him fitting in next season given We have Ox Gini and Lallana also.

{Ed001's Note - so what opinion do you want? You haven't asked me anything. I don't know what on earth you want to know.}

Imo, we have big problems in central midfield but in terms of ability, Henderson is the least of those problems. He's the most consistent player we have there and the only reason he's in and out of the team currently is because his fitness is being managed.

I find it odd that your post seems to put Lallana ahead of him despite the fact that Lallana's game time is being managed even more than Hendo's.

The only worry I have with him is if the injury problems are going to be ongoing from now. We saw what that did to Sturridge.

Is Hendo having injury issues again Ed? I haven't seen him training together with the lads in the videos posted by the club during the trip to Marbella.

{Ed001's Note - he is not fully fit no. Possibly never will be again.}

Thank you for the reply Ed, much appreciated. It's such a shame as a fully fit hendo would be the first name on the team sheet every week IMO.

Hence the interest in Jorginho. Hendo's role as a regular first team player at LFC is over if his injury issues keep flaring up time and again. Klopp sees this and its time to act.
A midfield of Keita, Jorginho and OX will do for next season. Has a combination of tough tackling, precise passing, long range shooting, workrate etc.
Hendo will still be captain but will be used sparingly.

Bad for Liverpool and bad for England. Such a shame as I feel Hendo was just hitting his peak.

Sorry ed I just wanted your thoughts on were you think he will fit in next season given the likely arrival of 2 more CM's.

{Ed001's Note - he will be in and out of the side due to his injury so he should be fine to be a rotation option.}

Hendo is the perfect player for us as a rotation option if he agrees that to manage his fitness it's the best way - good enough to be in the First XI, but happy to be rotated and sit games to keep fit.
