I do find it interesting how quickly bandwagons are formed.
People are now commenting on 'look how Henderson chases down the ball' and 'watch how many times he wins it back for us'. It's been that way for literally years, I've been telling people to open their eyes, all it took was a few posts from big time online pundits/magazines/sites saying what myself and many others have been harping on about for years and suddenly everyone's an expert on cutting passing lanes and recoveries of possession, including some people on twitter I had arguments with about when the denied the very same thing they're suddenly claiming to have known about all along!
Which while mildly frustrating on a personal level as it's taken long enough for people to notice (granted the move to 8 highlights these features of his game better), it is still definitely a good thing.
Top player.
p.s. Keita, wow what an improvement!
A couple of the "experts" on here spent days trying to take the piss when I spoke about passing lanes a while back.
It just goes to show that there is a crew here more interested in being "right" than talking about football, and ironically, they rely on social media for their forum opinions.
Makes me laugh.
As far as I was concerned, anyone with even a marginal interest in football should see Hendersons value to the team.
