      I do find it interesting how quickly bandwagons are formed.

      People are now commenting on 'look how Henderson chases down the ball' and 'watch how many times he wins it back for us'. It's been that way for literally years, I've been telling people to open their eyes, all it took was a few posts from big time online pundits/magazines/sites saying what myself and many others have been harping on about for years and suddenly everyone's an expert on cutting passing lanes and recoveries of possession, including some people on twitter I had arguments with about when the denied the very same thing they're suddenly claiming to have known about all along!

      Which while mildly frustrating on a personal level as it's taken long enough for people to notice (granted the move to 8 highlights these features of his game better), it is still definitely a good thing.

      Top player.

      p.s. Keita, wow what an improvement!

      A couple of the "experts" on here spent days trying to take the piss when I spoke about passing lanes a while back.

      It just goes to show that there is a crew here more interested in being "right" than talking about football, and ironically, they rely on social media for their forum opinions.

      Makes me laugh.

      As far as I was concerned, anyone with even a marginal interest in football should see Hendersons value to the team.

      I wonder what Hendo and Naby would say about understanding with one another on the pitch. Would love for a reporter to ask one or both about it, rather than the standard "are you feeling title race pressure?"and "do you think City will drop points?" Would like to hear it in their words.

      I think that's the kind of question asked on LFCTV rather than by reporters.

      Keita is starting to find his groove though, and all our midfielders should be able to interchange,

      That type of journalism is sadly missing today

      What I can't understand is people's want and need to be right

      To slag one of our players off because they aren't doing what they want them to do.. regardless of the fact that they're obviously doing what the manager wants them to do in that position or role - because here's the key, if they weren't doing what the manager wants then they wouldn't play - but they think oh I'm.going after them because that's my right and I get it

      But it's the inability to go with the flow and enjoy it, if Hendo - in this example - plays well they can't simply admit that, they need to look for an angle to justify their original position  on it

      It's like the title race.. I keep reading this sh*te- oh tell me where city drop points - just so if we don't do it they can say.. see I told you so, I'm right all along, we blew it when we drew with Leicester.. Like I told you so at the time
      Just f**king enjoy it.. because I'll tell you one thing neither us or city will have failed this season when both finish mid 90 points

      Don't get it myself..  never have

      For some on here - itā€™s more important to be heard voicing their ā€œopinionsā€ than to be balanced or constructive.

      ā€œI donā€™t like that so JĆ¼rgen is wrong and Hendo is a dickā€ etc etc
