Regarding last night's game -
I don't think I've been as happy to see a player score this season as much as Henderson yesterday. He was absolutely superb last night and you could just see pure, unadulterated joy from every fibre of his being when he celebrated.
I haven't been his biggest fan over the years, largely due to not fully understanding exactly what he does for the team, but there is no question he changed the game last night.
A question for Ed - Henderson looked great making runs into the box, and his timing was excellent - has he ever been considered for this role regularly?
{Ed001's Note - it was his role until injury problems mate.}

Top class cm. One of the best around. I would say the most underrated too.
Big shout to klopp for starting keita and his tactics down the left.
Couldnt watch the game. Too much pressure but i kept checking in.

Robbiesline you got to watch it mate it’s part of the ride you’ll back after and think why did I miss that 👍🏻.

In the 14/ 15 season when Hendo was first made captain he played a very attacking box to box midfield role and was superb. 7 goals and 15 assists that season. His vision for a pass is superb and his runs off the ball are fantastic. Klopp mainly converted him to a deeper role because of injuries, and partially because nobody else in the squad was anywhere near his tactical level of understanding.

for me, Hendo is one of Top 10 CMs in the PL (and no, it isn't red tinted glasses Ed025). His injuries no doubt has costs him his pace, durability, endurance, but last night of a reminder of what he brings to the team when unleashed.
Fabinho is a better DM than him no doubt, but in the 2-3 years Hendo had played in that role, he has been very good.
I just hope that when claims the PL and CL this season (fingers crossed! ), he'll be given the due recognition as a captain and player.

Top 5 cms in prem for me.

And i know longthing. But if we play at night i can never get to sleep afterwards. My body aches as i am literally clenched for 90 mins. i've been through the heart break too many times dude. Last season's final.
That chelsea game. I have never felt so empty after watching a game. I cried after thr ucl final last year but losing tp chelsea left me with a stone in my chest.
But winning the biggun in 2005 balances it out. And the treble season, i was walking on air.

The way he set his body up to shoot it was never going to miss. Those easy chances though do get missed sometimes usually by players who have started celebrating in their heads before touching the ball. Hendo is reliable and professional. Was always going to score. I also liked the way he was pointing to where he wanted the ball when Firmino looked up.
8.) 06 Apr 2019 12:36:52
Robbieline--I completely agree. I kept flicking between channels and checking the score as I just couldn't take it! But then, as Longthing76 said, I regretted not watching it all the way through. Its part of the ride. I am going to try and watch it all now.
Unless that was the reason we won? Maybe I should keep doing it. this season is messing me up!

Spot on, MK. People (somne conveniently) forget what a force Hendo was as a CAM in the 13/ 14 and 14/ 15 seasons. He was such a force in both seasons that City were VERY keen on him till he singed his big contract. In fact, I remember a game vs City in the 14/ 15 season at Anfield where he scored a scorcher (Cou got the second in a 2-1 win) and he (and Joe Allen) bossed Yaya Toure and Fernandinho off the pitch that Sunday afternoon.
It is his injuries and change of position (something he did for the team to the detriment of his own game) that has slowed him down which is why he is not as effective as he can be at times. Last night, he was unleashed and people may just see the goal BUT what people did not see prolly, is his awareness.
Notice that he was the ONLY player on the pitch backing up the play when Bobbie chased a lost cause. He recognized the situation and knew that Bobbie could only play the ball across into that space hence broke his neck to get there. It's called game intelligence/ awareness, something his embarrassing detractors know very little about.

Atletico are well-drilled but are otherwise, frankly, a rank average team. They have no outlet to get them up the pitch apart from Carrasco, who is also mediocre. Adrian doing what he did, as well as Salah and Mané showing the world how not NOT to finish, were the only reasons we didn’t smash them 6-0 in the previous encounter.

Zeddicus, no need to be snarky. My opinion is that Liverpool should be targeting among the best players around now. We have an unreal football team, and should be focusing on two additions a year to improve the first team and therefore the squad, with the remaining places given to promising youngsters from the academy. I don’t see any of the names mentioned improving our first team. If we don’t have the money to improve the first team directly, wait and look for future avenues to do so.

If it is financially impossible to sign Saul this summer, we should just leave it. None of the above mentioned (Bowen, Sanches, Aouar) are good enough for us.
06 Aug 2021 15:06:21
Bissouma is a really good player, he would certainly be one I’d target if Saul was just not possible (which it seems is the case) .

Spaceman - The Athletic and TIFO are stocked with Football Manager obsessives who think the entire game revolves around stats and formations. Listening to the guys at TIFO try to analyse football is a painful experience I wouldn’t recommend to anyone. Don’t forget they were among the first to attempt to justify Southgate leaving out Trent for the Euros. Ignore their ‘recommendations’.

Ed0666 - Are you being that obtuse as to compare our spending with City’s? You Ed’s may have a little more access to information than a lot of commenters on here, but we are not foolish enough to believe what Liverpool do can be compared to what City do by any reasonable standard. Ridiculous.
{Ed0666's Note - for a split second I thought it may be fun to have a back and forth with you but then it dawned on me I have a life. Furthermore you have used obtuse out of context as I’m not slow to understand City’s expenditures. Please stop bitching about everything in life as it’s not attractive and will not get you laid. So if my opinion is not in alignment with yours I bow to you’re greater wisdom and will end this foreplay by saying you’re correct and I’m incorrect. But I wouldn’t take too much glee from that statement because I’m wrong about most things in life, just ask my wife she’ll tell you that all day long. 😂

Ed, what I said about Son was not a lie but a misuse of a phrase. Politely stop that, thanks.
And no, 3 red cards is not ‘nothing’, especially when you consider two of his red cards were for violent conduct involving kicking out at opponents. Neither were especially aggressive but both were petulant. To suggest 3 red cards is ‘nothing’ even in the modern game is just untrue, isn’t it.
{Ed001's Note - oh whatever. I can't be arsed with your 'misuse' of words which you are still defending so clearly don't believe it to be a misuse. Pointless this. You just carry on without me, I am done.}
13 Sep 2021 11:42:30
Ed - Off the field he may well be a nice guy, he certainly seems it from YouTube content etc, but on the pitch there is enough behavioural evidence to say suggest he can be petulant, hence why he has picked up 3 red cards in his Spurs career so far. Perhaps ‘well-known’ was the wrong phrase.
And, excuse me, Ed, I don’t have an agenda against any player, thank you.
{Ed001's Note - I never said anything about being against any player, I was talking about your attempt to present your point was the agenda I referred to. You ruined your whole point with a total lie about Son and there is not enough evidence at all. 3 red cards is nothing in this era when a clean tackle can result in a red card.}
13 Sep 2021 11:27:06
The Juicer -
Re van Dijk - The best players almost never inflict long-term injuries on opponents, it is exceedingly rare. I can only really remember Son but he is well-known to be petulant, as are a lot of the Spurs team.
Players like David Luiz, Pickford, Karl Henry etc are all players with confidence far beyond their ability but without the intelligence to foresee the danger they are about to put their opponent in.
{Ed001's Note - Son well-known to be petulant? Are you just making stuff up to try and suit your agenda? That is a downright lie. Son is well-known to be a nice guy, I have never heard anyone but you describe him as petulant.}
12 Sep 2021 19:29:03
VVVV - Spot on. People seem to believe that as long as one leg makes contact with the ball, any tackle regardless of outcome is fair and within the rules. There is a very good reason why tackles from behind have been outlawed for more than two decades, and today exemplified that better than ever.
Klopp foresaw this happening after the Burnley game yet, as always, was sneered at and laughed out the room. Maybe someday English football will protect young players rather than leaving them at the mercy of brutal opponents and clueless referees.
