About that Henderson goal against Dortmund.
I know its only a friendly but watching that, come on, how can pundits (another name for idiots) think that is not quality enough?
As far as I'm aware, it's evident that the team and the coach are in total harmony and there's a cohesion to the team. I've said it time and time again, but the English have obsessions over individuals rather than the team - hence why our football team is sh*t because we only cram it with the best individuals and not the best team, whether it's the manager or the pundits or the fans, it doesn't matter because the English have no conception of a 'real' team. Now this English obsession over individuals has carried over to Liverpool's prospects because without Suarez, we're doomed apparently. Tottenham felt the loss of Bale (but that was exacerbated with a scattergun transfer approach) and Man Utd felt the absence of Ronaldo. But Man Utd and Tottenham never scored 100 goals in their respective league campaigns prior to their star men leaving, so the less goals for them means the more valuable the player was for their team. I somehow think we are less susceptible to the loss of our star man because we scored so much more as a team, and the idea that we relied entirely on Suarez for goals is complete folly and the type of uneducated fuckwitted attitude you'd expect from the English media.
Brendan Rodgers gets it though - he knows what a team is, he's not overly concerned with individuals - there is proof of that last year when all many of our star players were out for a good while, but that didn't deter Rodgers as he's always emphasised the team over any individual. People seem to forget that we had a lot of injuries to our star players last year and this was a team that lacked so much depth - something which many conveniently like to forget.
He's one step ahead of all the dunderheads that cover English football, and we'll be fine this season for sure.
