You do know that he's made more tackles and interceptions than anyone in the team in the last couple of years right?
Usually defence is the best part of his game, but yesterday even that was gone.
Stats;
Shooting accuracy 29%
Goals Per Match 0.09.. that is less than 1/100 and he has been centre mid before he moved back to playmaker.
Cross Accuracy 25% worse than his shooting.
Below looks nice on paper;
Through Balls 109
Accurate Long Balls 826
But consider how many turned into goals;
Assists 37 in 255 games.
Conclusion;
In 1/7 games he gets an assist
In 1/100 games he gets a goal
As much as I don't like Coutinho's behaviour, if we put him as deep lying play maker would the stats be the same?
Our win rate with Henderson the field is 118/255.. under 50% and he is meant to be the captain.
He made roughly 2 tackles a game, with 71% success, it's the only part of his game that is okay. Perhaps if he was a defender I wouldn't have as much of a problem with him.
All his stats yell out good defender but can't create a damn thing.
In the middle of the park, looking lost, short 5 yard passes and hoofing it long up the pitch and nothing, game after game after game... then gets back and makes a couple of important tackles....
Of course I support Liverpool, I don't support Henderson to be a midfielder, playmaker or captain.
He is a good squad player in a good side or stand out in mid table club.
