So all DMs are leaders? Name one player we have who's more vocal on the pitch. Name one player who covers more ground and sets hard work as an example as much as Jordan. Name the 'leader' in the team and tell me how he is.
Also you clearly were trying to say it was his fault as you complained and only sited Hendo as an issue.
You know nothing.
Nowhere did I write "a DM should be a leader", right? So please, don't say I wrote things I didn't.
He should ot be a DM because :
1. It's not what he does best
2. It's important to have a leader in midfield, even more important now as DM given that Wijnaldum and Lallana are not leading the team while playing in midfield and that we're very bad at defending.
3. Hendo is a good player, no doubt about that but he should not do something in which he is average. Gerrard was an average DM too, even though he was one of the best players we had.
In our current situation, where we cannot defend against West Ham, Bournemouth or any other team, we need a proper DM and a good leader in midfield: these are things which we lack in Hendo. I won't expect Wijnaldum or Lallana to play that role.
For f sake, I'm surprised to see how mature adults cannot dissociate simple arguments.
Saying that Hendo should not play at DM and that he is not a leader means that all DM should be leaders and that Hendo is a bad player!? Really?
I simply think that a good DM in the team or having a leader in the team who could have ensured that we remained calm would have helped. Hendo did nothing that his position as Captain or DM asked, simple...
