Can you objectively answer whether Henderson has made a telling contribution to our fantastic first half of the season or have the team been doing it despite him?
Okay , let me say this first of all. We havn't had a fantastic first half of the season. We have been better but by no means fantastic. Our league is of a poor standard ( IMO ) There is only two world class strikers ( Costa , Aguero ) and no world class defenders or midfielders . Plus one world class GK ( De Gea )
We have a lot of ordinary players ( Mignolet , Karius , Clyne , Lovren , Can , Gini , Milner , Origi , Henderson , Firminho ) None of these players consistently perform for 90 minutes but get away with it because if the poor quality of the opposition . That's why the top of the table is so congested. The quality of football has been poor on the whole in our league, i mean look at Man U ?
Henderson is a good athlete ( probably a nice fella ) but he is lacking in genuine quality to be put in the " Great midfielder " bracket. Seriously , how long have you been watching football that you are unable to recognize mediocrity simply because it wears the shirt of the team you support ?
Let's talk objectively , on this forum ? I've read poster's on this forum say Alex Ferguson had success only because of luck , referee's , the media , money and blah , blah , blah.
I've supported LFC since 1978 and when i was younger ( especially in the early nineties ) i hated everything about every team that had success but now i respect and enjoy good football and good footballers. I've seen truly great player's and i 've seen poor footballers . Henderson is average at best. But let's face it , in this league at this time , the bar hasn't been set that high.
