      Just watch the replay for the two goals.

      Where is our DM positioned? I get he is not a proper DM but he is still a professional footballer who knows his role, no

      He had a poor start to last season but got up to speed to put in some tremendous performances against the likes of Chelsea away. But so far this season he has been so well off it. Just a benign presence who offers nothing going forward and nothing to protect those behind him. I just wonder if he's still carrying those persistent injuries that have dogged him in the last couple of years?

      For the first goal he was the deepest of our midfielders, where he should be. Joe Gomez was at fault as he played everyone online, ruining the position of everyone else. Second goal is F***ing slammed into the top corner, doesn't matter who is where for that one. But I knew there would be some moronic sh*t about how it was his fault, but both goals specifically because of his positioning... Come on, you're better than that.

      No he should be patrolling just ahead of the CB's in case the ball is knocked down and besides which DM plays that far up the pitch when defending?

      Second goal he is out of position of the huge area in front of our CB's he should be patrolling.

      He has been better than this mate, last season but this season not sure if it's the injuries but he has simply been shocking.

      While I agree with you for the first goal, I think for the second Grujic is our #6 in that situation. Here's our midfield three:



      It might not have been a great decision to rotate there, given he was on a yellow already, but Henderson is clearly filling the left midfielder position and Grujic took over the #6 position. He might be a yard too high, but he still gets close to Slimani and doesn't want to make the foul in fear of getting sent off. Don't think you can blame Henderson for that one. I also think that Gomez (again) is too deep there.

      Maybe but shows the folly of relying Grujic who has hardly played a first game never mind as the No 6.

      What exactly is Henderson doing in that position, I noticed he hardly bust a gut to get back either.

      Good job I have not mentioned his passing   :D

      It's just not his job to be there at all because there never should have been a scenario where he should be there. Joe Gomez made the error which put everyone out of position, including Henderson. He's so, so clearly the one at fault for the goal. Seriously, watch that reply and tell me Henderson should have been been where you say, because if you do, you're showing you know zero absolutely zero.

      F***ing witch hunt this, worse than when it was Lucas a few years ago.

      Here's the highlights

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO8Lfk0zh4Q

      Freezes at 3:10. Go on, try and say he should have 'read' that Gomez was going to play 3 men onside within 3 seconds. Jesus F***ing Christ this is like coaching my u-10s team on basic positioning. Klopp said ‘With the first goal we don’t push up together… I’ve said it 1,000 times.’ - Clearly he's saying Joe Gomez should have pushed out WITH THE REST OF THE TEAM, including the DM who was doing exactly what the manager wants. He can't read minds, including Gomez's which went wandering twice in 5 seconds to play people onside who should have been off not once, but twice... What do you want Hendo to do?

      Second goal (and I can't believe I'm having to explain this to adults). Throw in from the left. If the ball is on the left, you press over to the left, formations don't work like they are laid out on TV, the whole team presses over to where the action is while defending. Henderson is on a man, the ball is throw over his head, Robertson can't deal with his man and Marko doesn't make the tackle... Literally nothing Henderson can do unless you want him to mark 3 men at once.

      Lads, you're F***ing embarrassing yourselves. I am all for saying when he's not been great, I am all for saying when he's fu**ed up... But this shoehorning business of trying to weasel in how things are his fault is scumbag territory. Away and F**k yourselves, pathetic.

      I don't think I can be bothered to re-watch the match, but was it necessary for Hendo to fill the left midfield area forcing Grujic into the #6 area? Would a specialist think differently and hold his position and be deeper instead of moving into that vacated area? Looks to be 2 vs 3 us (without Hendo) on the left, surely that is enough? And having your specialist sitting deeper instead of higher up in no mans land ish would surely be a better decision?

      I don't have the full match, only the highlights like Mags has posted, so I don't know why he's on the left.

      Read Mags' explanation though, it's spot on. The way our midfield works, the players rotate and constantly fill in each other's positions. Wether Henderson is a specialist #6 or not doesn't matter there, he's doing what he should be doing in our midfield, in our system. A specialist #6 would probably have stayed in his position in the situation that happened before the throw in and let the midfielder in front of him deal with it, but we don't play one, so we shouldn't think that way.

      Maybe but shows the folly of relying Grujic who has hardly played a first game never mind as the No 6.

      What exactly is Henderson doing in that position, I noticed he hardly bust a gut to get back either.

      If in the previous situation Henderson was dragged out wide to the left midfield position, the midfielders rotate and take over the #6 and the other #8, which our players do perfectly in that situation. We concede the throw in, Henderson stays there (easier than running all the way back to his position and making Grujic go to his). The throw in came from quite deep, so it looks like he's high up the pitch, but he isn't. The throw in goes over his head and then everything else happens. The only thing that you can say is that he "didn't bust a gut" to get near the ball, but there's no way you can blame him for the second goal. Grujic has to set his foot there and try to make a small foul not resulting in a second yellow and Gomez should be higher up the pitch and closer to Slimani.

      Yeah, I agree and see it, we rotate more often with Hendo there. Last season when Lucas played in the #6 role, he wasn't dragged away from the central area often, and rarely rotated with the #8's, hence us looking more solidified in the middle and defence imo.

      Klopp really needs to consider looking into a specialist (and cb) in January imo.

      On a side note, I thought his distribution was excellent today, especially in the first half!!

      As someone who is often critical of Jordan I thought he played well tonight, actually gave him MotM. Was questioned on that a couple of times and I admit I had to second guess myself about the goals but I have to say on viewing the replays there's no way he's at fault for either.

      Sure on the first he 'could' get back in a bit quicker but in truth he's never going to get there and was actually doing what he was supposed to initially. On the second it's just a total sh*t show from Klavan/Gomez/Flanno and also Robbo to a lesser extent none of that was Jordan's fault but I don't think saying "f**k yourselves" is going to win the debate as much as facts will and the facts rather than the insults back you up on this one Mags.

      Yeah his passing didn't get the recognition it deserved. Think both you and I appreciate the same type of pass as I suspect you saw them as very similar to how Lucas passes it, top quality in that first half as you say.

      You'd expect your captain and leader to dominate the midfield against a second team of a side currently sitting 15th in the league.. at least that's what you'd expect from Gerrard, Alonso or Mascherano but no with Henderson.. the expectations are so low with him that we will praise him and give him MOTM just because he wasn't at fault for any conceded goal.

      Henderson MOTM, are you taking the piss?
      I'll agree he wasn't directly at fault for the goals but what good or great things did he do all match apart from shift the ball side to side and backwards. He is in my opinion our most negative and technically limited player and this is the captain we are talking about. Several times he had the chance to do a give and go but each time he bottled it which led to an attack breaking down. He is a garbage player. I hate to say it but I actually hope he gets injured so that Klopp is forced to play someone else.

      He was too easily taken out of the game because he is initially in the wrong starting position and too easily bypassed.

      Was neither as good in the first half or as poor in the second as some are making out.

      Just going to be this lad's lot with us it seems. Proverbial lightning rod.

      Clearly NOT at fault either goal - first is carbon copy of Saturday and the second is Seville and Grujic has switched off at throw in.

      I did see the full match. "I don't have the full match" as in not having the full match recorded. Apologies for not remembering every single second and phase of play of that game. The thing I meant was that I couldn't show why Henderson was in that position because I only had the highlights to get pictures from and in the highlights it doesn't show the situation happening before the throw in. Think you misunderstood me there.

      He is not initially in the wrong starting position if that was the position he was in after the previous situation. If you have a traditional #6 DM, yes, he is, in our system, he isn't and Grujic had clearly taken over the #6 position. Nothing to do with graphs or whatever, just seeing how the rotation in our midfield works. Henderson is not at fault for that goal, you can keep blaming him for that one all you want.

      He could have done better / more for the first though, fully agree with you on that.

      When I was watching the game on a river yesterday, there was something before their first goal which caught my eye with Hendo. Very few highlight reels show it (they just cut from the corner onwards). But thankfully there is a video which shows the little piece of action that leads to their corner immediately before the goal.

      https://vimeo.com/234744679

      Hendo presses high, but is unsuccessful with it. Leicester then play a long ball, our centre-half (unsurprisingly) loses the header and the second ball is with a Leicester player who has a lovely pocket of space in front of our defence. Wijnaldum is far away and I can't even see Grujic in the picture.

      It would be a valid point to say that one of Gini/Grujic/Ox should've stepped into the gap Hendo vacated to cover for his press. But then this argument of "Hendo is our #6 whose main job is to sit deepest, recover the ball and lay it off to his CM partners" becomes completely redundant, because what the f**k is he doing there? If he is indeed part of a rotating midfield, then you have to consider what he actually offers from a attacking sense, apart from running past opposition midfielders and leaving the ball completely behind. For the people who use stats to vehemently back him up - his assist and goal scoring figures are truly miserable, and that HAS to be considered part of his job if he is part of a rotating midfield.

      On the other hand, if that isn't part of his job, then he shouldn't be pressing so high like that and vacating the space behind him. It's not as if this is the first time he's done that either this season. Sometimes he's actually been successful (think the Arsenal game and nicking it off Ramsey?) but on the whole, it is just far too risky a move. Our defence and keeper are sh*t as they are - but when that huge gap opens up between them and Henderson (who is apparently our DM) it exacerbates our problems even more.

      When I was watching the game on a river yesterday, there was something before their first goal which caught my eye with Hendo. Very few highlight reels show it (they just cut from the corner onwards). But thankfully there is a video which shows the little piece of action that leads to their corner immediately before the goal.

      Hendo presses high, but is unsuccessful with it. Leicester then play a long ball, our centre-half (unsurprisingly) loses the header and the second ball is with a Leicester player who has a lovely pocket of space in front of our defence. Wijnaldum is far away and I can't even see Grujic in the picture.

      He is usually the deepest however in that case he was the closest man. In Klopps system (and I may be wrong) that sees to take priority over position. It does not happen often with Henderson but it does happen and we've done well countless times because of high pressure from him. The ball then goes out for a corner, there is some more play and then Gomez plays everyone onside before the goal.

      Again, it's a very very tenuous link of the intention is to single out Henderson (but I'm not saying you are)
