they did the job they are capable of. Not one of them could hold a candle to Alonso or Stevie but they are what we have . They are very similar players strong disciplined but not visionaries or goalscorers its why I don't get the Hendo thing he is being attacked for not being a player he never will be. Jürgen puts his wingbacks so highup the field you cant have anything but Henderson or Milner type players who will stay disciplined. When Ox got into his rhythm we had more goal scoring threat whilst the other two sat but he isn't available is he.
I am sure when Jürgen is happy with Kieta and Fabhino changes will take place but I doubt it will be Henderson making way.
Henderson is not bashed well I hope not, for not scoring goals, it's his lack of ability on the ball.
He finds it difficult turning when facing his own goal, hence the ball will go back to the player he receives it from.
He is way too conservative from the hub of the midfield in releasing our pace merchants, he too often passes on responsibility to one of the CB's to make the pass.
We will see once Fab and Keita are up to speed how regularly Henderson starts.
Jürgen didn't buy players like those two with a higher quality of technical ability to sit on the bench, he us taking our midfield to the next level.
Henderson has a role to play but i believe going forward he won't be a automatic starter.
