As you say, the stuff being said is mostly by people who go into every season, saying and hoping that XYZ players are all going to be sh*t and have been sh*t because we haven't won the league with them yet, just because they think it'll grant them some kind of superior credibility and acceptance when it's all over and they get to run around to every thread saying how they're the knowledgeable ones who saw it coming. All just a game that they get a lot of joy out of.
I'm hoping for a good season from him and from all of our players. There are key areas that he certainly needs to improve on, but there are also a lot of strengths to his game, and a lot of people and players have commended his leadership and attitude in the squad.
What i don't get , is the bullshit that , if you don't rate Henderson ( and don't express it in a timid manner ) you are an overbearing know it all , hell bent on telling people" i told you so gobshites "
But, if you are a Henderson supporter , you hold some kind of moral high ground , while spouting cliche' ridden posts about qualities he clearly doesn't possess .
As a Captain , he failed his one and only test , when , he let a f***in whet wipe like Balotelli make a complete c**t out of him in front of his home crowd . Basically telling him to " F**k off mummys boy " while HENDO looked over at the bench , with a " wish the ground would swallow me up " look on his face. PATHETIC
Next, let's go back to the game at Arsenal , at the start of the 2011/12 season. HENDO is played clean through in the 1st half ( with the game at 0-0 ) only the keeper to beat. What happens? His body crumbles and he doesn't even hit the target!!
That was 5 yrs ago and nothing has changed. Weak mentality. We've all seen him crumble when presented with an excellent goal scoring chance , time and time again. Poor footballer, poor mentality , poor Captain and a poor bet to put your hopes on.
