Do you really think Jürgen thinks like that ?
I know it because I follow Jürgen since his time in Mainz. He'd never talk bad about a player, in fact he'll always praise his players. Only his actions tell you what he really thinks. He's not happy with Henderson, I can see and feel it the way he talks about him in contrast to the way he uses him. But he has no options. If he pisses away Hendo who does he have he can trust blindly: Gini and Milner, that's it right now.
I do not say Hendo is a bad player, but he's not good enough for this team and its ambitions. Therefore he took Keita. Keita is so much better than Hendo, it's almost surreal, but for some reason he's a shadow of his form in Leipzig. Also Fabinho is better than Henderson, but in another area, but as Keita he's slow to get into form. That's the only reason Henderson still sees some pitch on game day. If one of the above gets going, he'll become what Moreno, Clyne, Mig and Lallana are right now: deep bench warmer & injury insurance.
