To be fair, there is an element of truth about it.
Not suggesting it’s confidence, could be fatigue, but often in games I think Hendo can go in to hiding. John Collins has hit the nail on the head when he says he is not making angles to receive the ball. I notice it a lot, not necessarily in just the big games which would suggest it’s not a confidence thing.
How often do we see our back 4 having to bypass the midfield and go long? Now that may be because of the forwards we have but often there is nothing on and it’s only played out of a necessity because there is nobody to receive the ball.
Not meaning to slate Hendo because he has been great for us this season (first leg against Roma his best in a red shirt imo) but this is definitely an area where he needs to improve.
