But bringing him on did have a direct influence with winning the battle in midfield, which we were struggling with for large parts of the first half. Which coincidentally ties in with us having more possession in the final third. No-one is claiming he had a fantastic impact in creating the goals, but the industry and energy he has shown since coming on has influenced our play in the middle of the park. I don't think anyone is going overboard with the praise of Henderson, he's had a very good game since coming on, he hasn't been fantastic. I understand that must be difficult to bear being one of Henderson's biggest fans of course.
You can stick your Roberto Martinez up your arse.
I agree Henderson was really good today and his addition was important. What I was saying before (I know you're replying to federer, but still) was that I believe people are too fast in calling a relatively annonimous performance "fantastic". Henderson is proving he has a part to play in this squad and I'm happy for it, still needs to grow a lot as a player for me though. He set low standards for himself last season though, and I think because of that any improvement is seen with slight exaggeration. Just my opinion though.
Should be quiet in the thread tonight.
