When Lucas is on the pitch, despite being the most defensive out of our midfielders, his distribution is positive and he starts up attacks. Hendo relies heavily on this allowing him to support the attack if necessary, thus becoming more positive.
When Lucas went off injured, Henderson sat back mostly, and what really irked me was his passing and negative play. Majority of the time, he takes that extra touch that's not needed and passes are side or backwards. It's kind of ironic when he's suppose to be the more attacking midfielder. Henderson seems totally lost without an exceptional distributor next to him.
