Henderson lighting it up for Chelsea today. I do think he was slightly rushed out of the club. I know it suited both parties for the £££, but imagine having him in our squad to bolster the midfield ranks.
I suppose that's the curse of the captaincy. It's easier to go and be a bit part elsewhere than it is to swallow your pride and become a squad player once you've had the armband.

Wasn't pleasant seeing him pat the Chelsea badge on his chest when he scored, not going to lie.

Wasn't it Hendo's decision to leave?
I'm not great at maths but today's the first game In over potentially hundred games since he's left that he's "so called lighting it up"
In those games that we have missed him we've also won a PL title.

These h*es ain't loyal ?.

England missed him at the World Cup, that's for sure. Injured himself celebrating.
He would have been good to have as an option to come on, sturdy the ship. Declan Rice missed a game because of an illness.
Well he was a good player for Liverpool.
Linked up well with all of our star players over the seasons, from Suarez and Gerrard to Firmino, Salah, Mane and Van Dijk.
He had a lot of attributes to his play, even if he didn't stand out as a great or exceptionally gifted player. He has good vision for passes, good ball control and dribbled pretty well. Good on and off the ball with a great communication style and leadership approach. A thoroughly good team player.
Hard working and honest type of player, like Milner. Players like these are essential for a good squad, even if they don't play every match.

He was an excellent captain, miss his leadership.

Alex Scott of Bournemouth never played today, out for circa one month with a thigh injury, not hard to tell who pulls the strings for Bournemouth!
Henderson's best football is behind him now, Alexis, Dominic, Ryan, Trey Nyoni were all signed by Jurgen to replace Henderson, they have also won one Premier League the same as Henderson their best football is still in front of them, the same as Wirtz (hopefully? or one hopes? )

He had Caicedo doing all the running & shin kicking for him. He'd look rinsed in our midfield without that kind of support.

Trey sadly never received a PL medal, never met the criteria, but he played in a Slot Premier League Winning team, which no one can take away from him, circa 6 games as a PL sub.
We are yet to win a home PL game this season? what an opportunity tomorrow!

It ain't going to happen 007, sorry.

Every now and then Harry let's the mask slip, this is one of those times.
{Ed666's Note - it cracks me up when you guys find Harry..how do you do it?
11 Oct 2026 03:10:34
@Harry, sorry @KBL, shouldn't you be focussed on getting ready for the North West Counties League next season with your team? Just give it a rest coming onto a site for a team you don't support and just repeating 'you aren't going to win' in slightly different ways.
Generally speaking, re Jordan Henderson, a very good player for us and an excellent captain but his legs had gone the season before he left. He is the past not the future and he is a useful player to have if you are winning but he isn't going to change a game these days if you're not winning.

How many games has he lit up this season?
Let's see it in consecutive games ?.
11 Oct 2026 07:14:48
To be honest Ed, he just kinda finds himself every now and again.
11 Oct 2026 08:25:08
Ed666. It's nasal instinct. Tested and refined over the last 15 years. You can smell him a mile away. ???.
{Ed666's Note - brilliant ?
