No seriously, in modern football. You even expect cb to get you a goal or two in a season.
And have you seen firmino running back and defending and putting in tackles and defend.
This isn't the 60's, you have liquid formation where players change the sides in the game. Like Salah and måne changing sides in the game.
And who says a DM shouldn't provide a assist and goal here and there? Seriously I do like Hendo as a person. He is a pro and just do his job but that doesn't mean he is good enough for us to start every game. We can't defend our players, just because they play for us. At a Liverpool forum, people should be able to say who aren't good enough.
I fully understand the concept of a liquid formation. We have a 'liquid' front five, if you want to call it that. Henderson, when he plays, isn't part of that liquid front five.
Some players
do have a fixed position, even in our formation. Henderson is one of them and he mainly only moves forward when we're pressing, not to provide goals and assists.
How many goals and assists did Lucas put up every year? Not too many, yet he played his role fantastically. I'm not defending him just because he plays for us, I'm defending him because he's doing what he's told to be doing. He actually does have a pair of goals and assists next to his name so far this season I think?
I said he isn't world class, but he is good enough to wear the shirt, whether it be as a starter or squad player, that's up for debate of course.
